[QUOTE="Frogman Ladue, post: 262309, member: 8253"] I'm thinking that the more economical way around lifting the batteries is just leave them in the boat and get an onboard charger. Whatever is available in lieu of a crane is going to weight considerably more than the batteries, is going to involve bending over to "unfold" heavy parts, and is going to require some muscle to move it around. Methinks yer gonna make more work for yerself with a crane. If yer dead set on hooks and ropes, something I have hanging from the garage ceiling is this.... [url]https://www.harborfreight.com/880-lb-electric-hoist-44006.html[/url] ...from harbor freight. I use it lift and hold deer for skinning and butchering. In this case, there's nothing to tote around the garage or set up. It's perminately mounted. Granted, loading and unloading batteries would be cumbersome at best...pull trailer in, hoist battery, pull trailer out...step 5,6,7....finally put boat in garage for storage w/o batteries. [/QUOTE]
