<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I just had three customers replace their failing
battery banks at the same time. Eight batteries in total, each
weighing over 1000#. I couldn't come up with the heavy equipment for
loading & transport myself so I coordinated the move with a local tree
faller friend (plenty of lumber jacks up here in the sticks) who has a
small Bobcat skid and a heavy-duty flat bed truck. It worked out pretty
well. The issue of HAZMAT control & signage shouldn't be ignored and was
addressed.</FONT></DIV>

batteries</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Ahh the joys of steel contained batteries. Are the
interconnects welded? If <I>you</I> "own" them then <I>you</I> can move them.
If I am going on the road w/ any battery, proper placarding is the norm but I
ALWAYS cover them. Sometimes I use a tarp other times I use a "used" lumber
(say for a stack of 2"x10"x 20's) tarp. these tarps come on a load/pallet of
lumber. The lumber company usually throws them away.
<DIV>U haul trailer, flat bed or sometimes you can get your friendly
scrap/junk dealer to transport them on their tilting car transport for the old
batteries. $.025-.35/Lb can usually add up quickly.</DIV>
