Hey everyone! I've got three batteries, each weighing 300 pounds, that I need to install. I'm wondering if anyone has tips for moving them by myself? Would renting a forklift be a good idea, or are there other ways to manage this alone?

I'd suggest combining options! An engine lift can help you get the batteries up, and a dolly or hand truck can assist with moving them into place. Just make sure your wall is sturdy enough for that much weight if you're mounting them!
Using an engine hoist could be a game changer for you. They're pretty affordable to rent, and they can lift those heavy batteries easily. Just make sure you have a solid surface to work on since you'll need it for moving them around safely.
A heavy-duty hand truck with wide tires is really helpful, too. It makes it easier to manage the weight and navigate across different surfaces without a struggle. Grab one of those, and it might save you some hassle!
