Hi Drake, I recently installed 4 of these batteries at one site without a lift. They are resting on the floor. So you install the wall bracket at the appropriate height. As long as you can get the battery nearby, you can then open the crate and rock it out to be upright. One person can work the battery over on a flat surface by rotating it back and forth. Then between two of us, we only needed to lift it about an inch or so to get it onto the bracket. It's not easy, but definitely doable. The other guy helping me is about 65 and in good shape, but not burly by any means.
