Free safes, just come and pick them up

[cledry]

You get your choice of 2 but must remove all 3.

Kaso Gem TRTL30X6 Model 250

(2) Meilink Gibraltar TL-30X6 KX7233-Z

Anyone interested?

[GWiens2001]

Interested? Very. Can I come all the way there and pick it up? Unfortunately not. But appreciate the generous offer. Somebody will probably take you up on it.

There are a few catches. They are on the second floor of a building. The building elevator has a limit of 2500 lbs. The smallest of these safes weighs @ 4500 lbs. None of the safes will fit through the doorways in the building on the second floor. None will fit in the stairwell.

Recommended way is to remove drywall and studs on exterior wall and remove storefront windows, remove with a crane. The building owner requires that the building be put back to original condition inside and out.

The good news is that there are working combinations for all of the safes. Used the Kaso is perhaps worth $8000 and the Meilinks perhaps $3500 - $4000

In that kind of situation it is not uncommon for the owner to have to pay for them to be taken away ........

[somenewguy]

I have worked with riggers/movers getting stuff like that into and out of buildings, and there's always some problems. If the owner wants them gone, they typically have to pay to get them out. I'd recommend leaving them if possible, perhaps the next owners of the property will want a safe or two.

Outside the US, where the structures may be stone and hundreds of years old, the problems are even worse; often a crane is used and the item(s) are slung out of windows, or worked up a stairwell using the ole block-n-tackle....

We've hired crews to cut holes in roofs and cranes to drop them in place from the top before. I've never slung one out a window. Not sure I would want to be in charge of that situation with those beast.

If they are all in working condition, I cant see why they would not just leave them in place. It seems to me that they would improve the property value. JMO.

That elevator rating is generally the endurance of the cab, not the shaft or the structure of the elevator shaft... The equipment used during the construction of the elevator is often rated much higher in what it can lift than the passenger cab that gets installed at the end...

Would the safes fit into the elevator even though they exceed the rated weight limit ? If yes then it would be way cheaper to offer the owner of the building to split the cost of a cab upgrade and see if the elevator company is willing to rig the oversized safes down the hoistway during their project than it would be to chop holes in the side of the building and hire a crane...

Other than that the building owner can eat the safes or build a room around them to store them... Cost more than they are worth to actually move them out of his building and he/she/it/they want you to do it all at your expense...
