Hi drake Depends a lot on the floor surface.
If it’s concrete then it’s pretty easy to rock the battery onto some wood pieces. The slide a floor jack under it. Lift and push to the wall. Lower into the bracket. Or use an engine hoist to lift and move around. Using straps to attach to the hoist. It’s definitely a weak link in all these 300#+ batteries. They need lifting locations. Such as threaded holes that eye hooks can be installed in. I’ve hired 2 strong guys and they can lift it onto the brackets, once it’s close enough Good luck Jay > On Oct 28, 2026, at 11:57 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > > Hello All, > > Has anyone mounted an EG4, 314 Wall Mounted, heated battery without a lift? > It weighs almost 300 pounds, which is too much for 2 people to wrestle with. > > I read the book William recommended, Moving Heavy Things.
