Has anyone come up with a work-around for the subject Ragusa battery tray
that will keep the tray from tipping off the track? It is fine when fully in
and also when fully out, but between those two extremes, there is a chance
to crunch something if you aren't careful.

Thanks,

The Ragusa tray is probably not the best design when actually sliding
the batteries out. Not much that you can really do as it is a cast
aluminum tray. It is called 2 hands and be careful.

I swear I am going to fix it. Otherwise, the track is almost useless. I
guess a 4x4 on a base is a little too basic, but the idea of sliding out 150
pounds of batteries without any assurance they aren't going to tip onto my
feet is a little intimidating

I'll leave my thoughts on the design to another venue.
