Commercial Safe Relocation UK — TDR, Eurograde & Vault Doors

Commercial safes are a different category of move. TDR/Eurograde safes routinely exceed 500 kg, vault doors can hit 2 tonnes, and most jobs are out-of-hours so the business can trade the next morning. Here is what proper commercial safe relocation looks like.

Security ratings drive the crew size

• Eurograde 0–II (cash rating up to £35k): 2-person crew, stair walker
• Eurograde III–IV (cash rating £60k–£150k): 3-person crew, hi-ab
• Eurograde V–VI and TDR vaults: engineered lift plan, full survey
• Vault doors: rigging crew with crane and structural assessment

Chain of custody and discretion

Reputable commercial safe movers operate a signed chain-of-custody log from origin to destination, with DBS-checked crew and unmarked vehicles where required. Discretion is the difference between a professional relocation and a security incident.

Out-of-hours is the norm

Most retail, banking and jewellery commercial safe moves run between 8pm and 6am to avoid customer disruption and reduce overlook risk on the street.
