Gun Safe, Vault & Piano Moving Specialists in Des Moines

Moving a gun safe isn’t the same as moving furniture. These items require specialized equipment, careful planning, and an experienced crew to move them safely without damaging your home or business.

At Kirby’s Moving Company, gun safe and vault moving is one of our specialties. We regularly help homeowners, collectors, businesses, and firearm retailers move heavy safes throughout the Des Moines area.

We also move:

• Gun safes and vaults
• Upright pianos
• Baby grand pianos
• Arcade machines
• Commercial equipment
• Oversized furniture and specialty items

Our team uses professional moving equipment designed for heavy and oversized items, allowing us to complete these moves safely while protecting your property throughout the process.

Packing Services in Des Moines

Most move-day disasters start during packing, not during the actual move. Boxes packed too heavy for the bottom, fragile items wrapped in paper instead of foam, no labeling system – it all creates problems when the truck arrives.

Our professional packing team can handle:

• Full-home packing and unpacking
• Fragile item wrapping – dishes, art, glassware, electronics
• Furniture disassembly and reassembly
• Box labeling and room-specific organization
• Partial packing for customers who want to do some themselves
