You can get a heavy duty dolly at Harbor Freight for $15 or $20. As

If he lives in an apratment, he probably doesn't want to buy either a
dolly or a hand truck, but otoh, the super should have both.

Bear in mind that a dolly is a lot stronger than a hand truck -- a
cheap dolly can handle far more than a handtruck of the same price --
but not quite as easy to use.

And a dolly won't be stymied by the fact that the safe is bigger than
the platform at the bottom of the handtruck, which also isn't such a
problem if you lean the handtruck way back. But even then you want a
second person whether he is strong or not, to keep the handtruck from
moving away from you when you are trying to pull back on the handle,
etc.

If everything is pretty smooth, you might just be able to use a
carpet. Lay the safe on its side and pull on the rug. You can get
some rug out of the trash pretty often, or use one of your own. Well,
I haven't done anything as heavy as a safe, but it worked really well
moving the computer, monitor, printer from one room to the other at my
borthers. Didn't have to disconnect anything. He has smooth floors
thoughout.

others have said 215 isn't very heavy. Imagine wheeling someone down
the ramp in a wheelchair.
