A reinforcing frame structure 100 is provided that bolts or otherwise couples in place of a battery assembly of a vehicle 600, such as an electrically powered vehicle, providing longitudinal, transverse, and torsional rigidity to the vehicle when the battery assembly is removed from the vehicle. Reinforcing frame structure 100 can be releasably attached to the vehicle after a battery assembly is removed, allowing vehicle 600 to be taken off a lift and moved. Typically frame 100 includes at least two longitudinal members 102, 104, two transverse members 106, 108 and a cross-brace 110; an alternative arrangement has a hub (220, Figure 6) to which four arms (202, 204, 206, 208, Figure 6) are connected.
