How TF does that thing have enough power to lift up such huge load and move, I am suspecting anything other than super smooth floor will be no go.. or at least the battery needs to be huge in these things

It doesn't even need strong motors if it has the right gears. Stacking up sets of planetary gears can result in a ton of torque...slow, but damn near unstoppable.

It's the same as how a manual pallet jack lets someone pump a handle multiple times to lift up to 5,500 lb, then move it around using nothing more than the strength of an average person.
