Advice if you have done this before

Make sure you anchor to the top of the bar joice(sp?). Two guys that used to work with us used the bottom. I wasnt there but I guess they got the transformer about a 1 foot in the air and the bar joice couldnt hold it. I was told that the sound of a bar joice bending could be heard through out the whole building. Let me know if you have any questions im not an expert at rigging but I have hung a few transformers, got a double ended five peice switch gear that stands 10' through an 8' door with out incident. I rock climb I think thats why my company always for my help with the placement of heavy objects.

Make it easy on yourself and rent a battery lift. The tubs or jars are not meant to be slung. They send you slings to slide the batteries on the racks. They should have sent a lubricant to aid in sliding them. The last battery lift I purchased was 750.00 from McMaster Carr. That was about ten years ago. Also have spill supplies handy and some containment pigs in case the worst happens. PPE is also important.

Depending on the Earthquake Zone, you may need special rack bracing.
Many jurisdictions also require spill containment with absorbant pillows.
