Moving a Gun Safe

I just received an order from a customer trying to move a gun safe. He looked all over the internet and couldn't find any professional sliding mats except ours. His gun safe is about 20 in x 30 in x 7 ft and weighs about 1,000 lbs. He'll have to get help to lay it on its side just so it will fit though the doorway.

We decided that the cheapest, fastest way to get his project done was to send two 2 ft x 5 ft Professionals and tape the tail holes together with duct tape (to cover the 7 ft length). The handle will easily bear the pull of 1,000 lb loads on tile or wood (about a 200 lb pull), but to move the gun safe on carpet he'll need a second person to push from behind. The drag on carpet will create about a 300-500 lb pull, depending on the padding underneath and the pile of the carpet; and the handle tears out at around a 400 lb pull -- something you can only achieve with two very strong guys or a pickup truck hitch!

Best of luck to JB in Mississippi.
