It's time to think of levers! A pry bar and wood blocks. Pry up what would be the top side and insert a block. Raise the pry bar support with another block and repeat. It will go up much faster than you think. Place blocks under the opposite side so it cannot
tumble forward. These have to be removed as you insert blocks on the pry side. You could place a board with a rug under the safe for the final upright lift. Make it easier to move and not mar the floor.

If there is vertical clearance a tripod and chain hoist/come along would work. Just make sure the tripod legs are roped up so they can't spread.

Either method should have detailed pictures on the Internet.

Moving slightly bigger items by one man.

I'm sorry but I've seen no mention of how much your safe actually weighs? I just checked online the description for one Winchester 22 gun safe and it said 405 pounds. Surely two or three guys could stand that up without too much problem. What's the weight?

Is your safe door still on? That's a lot of weight that can be removed.

He did say in the first post it weighs about 500 lb.

I'm with the others that say get 2 or 3 more guys over and start prying and lifting. My Cabelas safe made by Liberty is 1300 lbs and was no fun, but thankfully I was able to use my fel to upright it. Moved it from room to room on golf balls.
