Mosler safe weight estimate

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Mosler safe weight estimate

Hello,

New to forum and in search of a weight estimate, if that's possible. I can pick it up, but don't want to be too overly prepared.. LOL.. New to old saves, but wanted this one, becasue it's old and because it's tall. Additional info on save would be nice, but weight most important at this time....

Thanks, Carl

Hi Carl, This should be a Mosler Porta Vault. The only thing with a wight attached that I can find is https://www.instagram.com/specialty_mov ... Fng/?hl=en . Yours doesn't look as big. Maybe you can ask them.

Thanks, I did and they just got back to me and said 4500 pounds. I think that is high, but I do know that safes can be heavy. Not sure where they got there info from...

Thanks, Carl

I've got a similarly constructed Mosler. T20 and fire rated. Mine is double door and a little bigger than that one.

Mine is a confirmed 1473lbs according to the loading dock scale.
