In anticipation of Operation Move to Cali I am making reservations for the moving truck and what not. I am in a pretty good bind over my gun safe and how to best move it.

I have a very heavy safe (Graffunder B-14) that weighs somewhere around 1,800lbs. I cannot possible roll this basterd up a moving truck ramp and the truck rental places will not rent a truck with a lift gate for a long distance one way haul.

Ideally I just need to find someone who will bring a forklift to my house for 30 minutes. I have a pallet jack to move the safe around with. I just need someone to set it in the truck for me.

Can the power of the brainstorming PPOT forum come up with something I have not thought of before? I can't seem to find anything but the large construction equipment rental places that surely are not going to let me walk away with a forklift for the afternoon.

My in-laws have a lift on their almond farm and will use that to get the safe back off once I get to CA. But getting it on the truck is going to be very very interesting!
