Rick: 1) consider renting or buying an engine hoist to pull out the individual cells, and lowering each onto a hand truck for transport to your truck. I have done this several times - it’s actually not that difficult with a crew of two or three. Northwest Energy Storage (www.solarone com, I think) supplies a short, heavy nylon strap with clevises at each end for raising and lowering each cell. You might contact them to purchase one. At one remote site, the client suggested that I buy a cheap engine hoist from Harbor Freight, as it would be cheaper than renting a professional one.
2) the older Trace SW series is early technology in regards to its sell efficiency, because of the lack of what was dubbed ‘silent sell’. The general number from when it was about the only game in town was about 55%. I would suggest upgrading to a modern unit if it’s primarily used for selling back.
