Cactus Moving provides safe moving in Ottawa for home safes, office safes, and fireproof safes. We plan the route, protect surfaces, and use the right equipment to control weight and balance during each lift. Our main advantage is pricing clarity: within Ottawa we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges, and you see the full rate breakdown before work begins. For local moves, you can reserve a date without a deposit. Our crews bring proven experience from multiple Canadian cities, and we apply that process to Ottawa moves that require careful handling.
Lock in your preferred moving day early at no cost. We hold your date while you finalize keys, elevator bookings, and other details, so prime weekends and month-end slots do not slip away. Change or confirm later without penalty.






You will know the plan before moving day, including the safest route, required clearances, and protection steps for floors and walls. We check stairs, corners, and door widths early, and we confirm where the safe will be placed at the destination. On site, we use moving pads, straps, and specialized tools to keep the safe stable and reduce shifting. Communication stays simple, so you know what is happening at each stage.
We start with a planning call to confirm safe type, estimated weight, pickup and drop-off access, and any stairs or tight turns. Then we flag any special handling needs, such as narrow landings, soft flooring, or long carries.
Your quote includes crew size, equipment plan, hourly rate, estimated hours, included protections, and an arrival window. Within Ottawa, we remove common add-ons such as travel time, mileage, and insurance charges, so pricing is easier to compare.
If you request packing, we protect nearby items and prep pathways so the safe can move without snagging or impact. We can also pack fragile items in the area to reduce breakage during the lift.
When the moving day comes our crews come on time and fully prepared. We protect floors, doors, railings, and elevators before loading begins (and before unloading begins). All furniture is wrapped in clean moving blankets and handled efficiently even if packing was not included. We load, secure, and safely transport your belongings to a new home.
After placement, we do a final walkthrough with you to confirm the safe is positioned where you want it and the area is left clean. If something needs a small adjustment, we handle it before closing the job.
For local safe moves in Ottawa, payment happens after the job is complete. No deposit is required to book, and the invoice matches the agreed hourly rate and time.
Once the move is finished, you receive a small cactus gift as a simple thank you.
If we earned it, a short review helps other Ottawa customers choose a mover for heavy items with confidence. Your feedback also helps us improve our training and process.
Call us directly or request a quote online, then share the safe type, approximate size, pickup and drop-off access, and your preferred date. We confirm availability, send a clear quote, and reserve your move without a deposit.

Pricing is usually hourly and depends on safe weight, stairs, and placement requirements. We confirm your rate and arrival window before moving day, and within Ottawa we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges.
Yes, when conditions allow. We ask about stair count, landings, railing clearance, and flooring so we can choose the right crew size and equipment.
For safety and control, we recommend removing loose items before the move. If the safe has removable shelves or drawers, take them out to reduce shifting and weight. This might reduce your final price as weight of the safe is a key.
We protect surfaces with moving blankets and floor protection where needed, and we control the safe with straps, dollies and a planned route. The goal is steady movement with no sudden impacts.
No. For local moves in Ottawa, you can reserve a date without a deposit.
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including night moves, based on crew availability and access rules at both locations.
Overnight safe moving can help in Ottawa when daytime parking, loading zones, or building activity makes access harder. Quieter hours can reduce delays and give crews more room to work, which is useful for heavy items. This option depends on availability and any building rules.

Strong results with heavy items come from repeatable training and controlled technique, not guesswork. Our movers complete structured onboarding and hands-on testing before they handle safes and other heavy items. Refreshers cover protection methods, safe lifting, rigging basics, and truck loading. Because we operate in multiple cities, we keep improving procedures as we learn, then bring that experience into every Ottawa move.
