I am in the middle of removing and replacing some very heavy (220lb/ea) wall-mounted LifePo4 batteries. When I installed them initially, it was a 3-person effort (two people with ropes/pulleys, one navigating the things into place).
Now, I'm trying to do this on my own. I bought some 1-ton ratched straps at THD and mounted some heavy-duty anchors into studs above, but it's been incredibly tedious and time-consuming to do it this way, and in some instances I've not been able to get the batteries back into the mounting bracket at all this way.
I've considered picking up a motorized hoist from Harbor Freight and building some sort of unistrut rack on the ceiling, but that seems like overkill, since I'll only have to do this once (hopefully).
Wondering what else people have done successfully to maneuver these beasta around.
