Professional Safe & Bulky Item Movers

Let’s be honest. Moving a gun safe (or anything that weighs a few hundred pounds) is not something you want to tackle on your own. Between the risk of damaging your home and the chance of throwing out your back, it’s just not worth it. That’s where we come in.

We’re based in Lake Geneva and serve homeowners and businesses all across southeast Wisconsin. We specialize in moving safes, pianos, commercial equipment, vending machines, and any oversized item that makes other moving companies hesitate.

At MACS Moving and Storage, we help homeowners across southeast Wisconsin move large, heavy, or bulky items the smart way. With the right tools, the right crew, and a process that works.

Why Moving a Safe Isn’t a DIY Job

Gun safes are designed not to move. That’s literally their purpose—to be heavy, durable, and secure. Some weigh over 1,000 pounds. Without the proper tools and techniques, trying to move one yourself can lead to serious problems:

  • Scratched hardwood floors
  • Cracked tile or ripped carpet
  • Dented walls and broken door frames
  • Personal injuries (yes, we’ve seen the ER bills)

We’ve seen homeowners try to muscle a safe down a staircase using a flimsy dolly and rope. It didn’t end well. And it costs a lot more to repair the damage than it would have to just hire a pro in the first place.

If you don’t have the equipment or know-how, moving a safe is risky. With MACS, you skip the stress and avoid the potential damage. We’ve handled every type of safe out there, from compact models to vault-style behemoths, and we know exactly how to move them safely.

How We Make It Easy for You

We’ve moved hundreds of safes, pianos, commercial fridges, and awkwardly shaped equipment across Lake Geneva, Kenosha, Racine, and everywhere in between. Our process is streamlined, safe, and efficient. Here’s what you can expect.

Step 1: Quick Assessment

Tell us the make and model of your safe. If you’re not sure, just send a picture. We’ll take it from there and figure out exactly what’s needed.

Step 2: Protect the Space

Before we move anything, we assess your home layout. We prep the route, protect floors, pad walls and door frames, and make sure your home stays in great shape.

Step 3: The Move

We use commercial-grade dollies, lift gates, straps, and a trained team to move your safe carefully and securely. From the moment we start to the moment the truck pulls away, your safe is handled with care.

Step 4: Delivery and Placement

We’ll unload the safe and place it exactly where you want it in your new location. Just make sure you’ve decided on the spot ahead of time. Safes are not something you’ll want to move again later.

We Move More Than Just Safes

Yes, we’re great with safes—but we handle all kinds of heavy and awkward items. If it’s big, heavy, valuable, or just plain difficult, chances are we’ve already moved one just like it.

Here’s what we specialize in:

  • Pianos (upright, grand, and baby grand)
  • Commercial appliances (fridges, stoves, walk-ins)
  • Vending machines
  • Shop and factory equipment
  • Arcade machines and pinball units
  • Bulky antique furniture

Got something weird and heavy? Send us a photo. We’ll figure it out.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Moving a Safe

We’ve been doing this for a long time, and we’ve seen a lot of DIY disasters. Save yourself the headache (and the medical bills) by avoiding these common mistakes:

  • Underestimating the weight. Some safes weigh over half a ton. No, your cousin and a dolly from the hardware store won’t cut it.
  • Using low-quality equipment. Cheap straps and plastic dollies aren’t rated for extreme weight.
  • Forgetting to protect floors. Dragging a safe over hardwood or tile will destroy it in seconds.
  • Improper lifting technique. No gloves, no back braces, no plan = someone’s getting hurt.
  • Trying to move downstairs without proper gear. This is one of the most dangerous moves. Don’t attempt it unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

Bottom line? If you don’t have the tools, training, and muscle memory, don’t risk it.
