The easiest and simplest way I have found to do this is using this handy battery lifting strap, apparently designed specifically for Trojan batteries:

It hooks into the brackets molded into the battery case, and enables you to lift out the batteries with ease. A dealer gave me one when I bought my batteries, and it works fantastic. Works especially well when lowering/raising batteries in/out of a case because the attachment points are on top of the battery compared to some battery carriers that grip the sides.

If you lower the tongue as far as you can, or park the trailer facing uphill, you will have alot more room to get into that cabinet for this purpose.
