Keeping your data centre maintained can be difficult at the best of times; however there are some options that can certainly help. One of those options that is available to you is the SL500 server lift. The old way of moving heavy rack mounted equipment was by man handling the equipment; however it is so much easier to use a mechanical server lift. The SL500 server lifter offers many benefits, here are a few.
The lifter can easily manage a 500lb lift; it also has a reach of 8 feet, which helps getting to higher U spaces within the racks.

The server lifter is only 24 inch wide, which means it can easily manoeuvre down slim isles and tight areas; it also means it does not take up much room whilst in storage or whilst being charged. The lift itself is less than 6 feet high, and although it has the ability to extend 8 feet, the fact that it is at a lower height while you were manoeuvring it makes it easier for you to see over or around the lift.
The obvious advantage to the server lifter is removing heavy equipment from racks, saving on time and back injuries, however the server lifter also allows for equipment to easily be fitted in to racks as well. It is a straight forward task to manoeuvre the lifter next to the rack and raising it to the required height with the easy to use controls. Once you are at the desired position, the server lifter side moving shelf assists with the final push in to the racks, and then just fasten the equipment in to the cabinet before moving the lifter away. This is not only an excellent way to remove the equipment from the area it is also one that helps to reduce the likelihood that injuries will occur from lifting these heavy items.
