<p>We've used an engine hoist before, but for tight spaces, we built
a rig out of unistrut with a small block and tackle. Come along
can be hard to use, and puts dangerous metal parts over the
battery.</p>

<p>I've since gone to a winch system, and also try to move the
batteries on rollers without taking the cells out.<br>

just did that a month ago, and it went amazingly smoothly.
Earlier, on a similar HUP replacement, I told the (absentee)
client that I would rent an engine hoist to lift the cells
out of the steel cases, and he advised me that it would cost
him less labor and travel if I bought one of the Chinese
engine hoists from Harbor Freight for $90 and just kept it.
Turned out to be a good application for CCC (thanks, Bob-O).
A concrete floor, the engine hoist, a simple hand truck and
a strong assistant to share the load made light work of both
removal and installation - all 4,000 pounds of it, one 200
lb. cell at a time... so I went dancing that evening. <br>
