[RE-wrenches] Battery Lifting Dolly?

[Kirk Herander]

Nik,
I have that exact Grainger model. It works great. Cost about $1,100 a year
ago.

I've hung several Solaredge banks with it. But don't be a dummy like me and
try to lift the battery cabinet off the platform by yourself.
I've done it successfully alone, but not easy. Depends somewhat on the
brand of battery.

I'd let you borrow it, but It's stored out of state right now. Hope you are
well.
