Why Not Move The Entire Loaded Cabinet?

If you are pulling out servers to relocate cabinets and then reinstalling them you could avoid all that time and hassle with an electric Mass Lift.  

A Mass Lift is a server rack lifter that provides a safe method to move fully populated server cabinets, battery UPS, cooling units and anything that weighs up to 5,000 lbs. (Yup – that’s not a typo – we actually said five thousand pounds)  It’s push-button powered by battery operated synchronized motors.  Using this type of Mass Lift, one technician can move a fully loaded rack unassisted from one location to another.  The weight is spread across eight dual castor wheels to distribute the load evenly on raised floors.

Containment Access – It’s A Job For Shorty

If you use “POD style” server rooms or “hot/cold data rooms” you may find the access door height a limiting factor for some server lifts.
Once inside the next hurdle is maneuverability.  Try this – go inside the POD and imagine dragging around a four foot server lift.  For cramped quarters like those, you will want to insist on a “tower style” server lifter designed specifically for PODS.

The RackLift RL600C is just short enough to fit through the door.

The Lift Tool Has To Reach High Enough

General purpose lifters may not have the capability or safety features to lift heavy IT equipment to the height you’ll need.   A data center lift tool should be able to install equipment at the bottom or top of your racks without concern for equipment falling or injury to workers.  

It’s that gravity thing again!
