What is the safest way to move a fireproof filing cabinet?

Moving a fireproof cabinet is a serious undertaking due to their extreme weight (200–500+ lbs for larger models): (1) Empty all drawers first — remove all files and hanging hardware to reduce weight. (2) Remove drawers if possible — each drawer is very heavy on its own and removing them reduces the cabinet body weight. (3) Use a heavy-duty moving dolly or appliance cart rated for the weight. (4) Use straps to secure the cabinet to the dolly. (5) Never move a fireproof cabinet on stairs without professional movers or a stair-rated dolly. (6) Protect flooring — use plywood or heavy cardboard under the dolly path on hardwood or tile. Professional office movers experienced with heavy cabinets are worth the cost.
