...how an 8000 lb. safe gets moved??
It''s really fairly basic.
Mechanical advantage provided by a lengthy crowbar, steel plates on the floor act as a fulcrum for prying the edges upward to allow spacers to be added, to slowly increase the gap between the floor and the safe bottom.
When the gap is large enough, steel tubing (primitive but efective rollers) are placed under the safe and it gets slowly rolled upon the rollers over a "steel road" provided by the placement and re-placement of the steel plates and re-positioning of the rollers.
Uh..no need to remove the safe''s contents!

..and now to wedge it into it''s new position. Took about an hour. Makes'' moving a refrigerator seem fairly rudimentary..
