Default Is a 215-lb. safe too heavy to wheel into an apartment building by myself?

So I am hoping someone can tell me whether if I borrow a
handtruck from one of the porters or the superintendent of the
building I live in, if I will be able to wheel it into my building on
a ramp or is 215 lbs. too heavy?


Don't use a hand truck.

Use a furniture dolly.

Open the safe and use big C-clamps to attach lumber or steel for handles,
and get some friends to help lift it on and off the dolly, and over
obstructions.
