Introduction to safe bases and stands for your Home/Cash Safe
Very often I get requests to make stands for safes so that staff don’t have to get down on their knees to access the bottom drawers or shelves for the safe, now I don’t know if its my imagination but the demand for this sort of thing is becoming more frequent.
Possibly those who use safes are getting older and the knee’s are starting to get a bit stiff and sore – regardless this has become even more prominent with WHS legislation forcing employers to “provide a safe work environment” and this means if you can reduce the amount of bending then logically you will reduce workplace injuries.
Aside from this, the convenience of not bending down to open a safe is one that people are willing to pay for.
Something to consider is that safes are almost always heavy, (note if your safe is NOT heavy, it will be easy to steal) and raising the bottom drawer or shelf of a safe up to “a safe working height” is not as easy as you might think.
We have been doing safe modifications in Brisbane for over 2 decades and use the latest skills, equipment in our safe/vault division to service, modify a stand for ANY safe. So, building a stand for a safe to sit on is something we specialise in.
We can design, build and install a stand that not only looks aesthetic, but is strong and secure for ANY safe!
It is critical that the stand is strong enough to support the weight of the safe because should the stand collapse it could be catastrophic to the life of your safe, your property and security of your belongings.
I would also point out that I have seen many failed attempts to move a heavy safe that could have had dire consequences. We encourage anyone who has a safe they would like to move, to get this done professionally to avoid injury.
We have been moving safes in Brisbane for over 10 years and have the skills to do this task with a minimal fuss.
Going back to safe stands, we prefer to use welded steel compared to wooden safe stand/base as they will collapse from various issues (termites, wood rot etc). This is why we prefer to custom made safe stands for particular situations.
The safe stand pictured below was custom made to fit under the owners staircase. This was fully customized to the owners specifications. We can paint the stand AND safe to any colour desired before delivery.
You will also see we design our safe stands so that it is hard to access (tamper) with the bolt that holds the safe to the stand and of course we recommend bolting a safe down securely with quality anchors. If you have any questions or would like a quotation for a safe and stand please don’t hesitate to contact KGB Security.
Or if you need a safe modified or the services of a safe removalist, Brisbane has access to the experts KGB Security, call us on 1300 556500

We made this stand for this safe because the owner was unable to bend her back !
