Yes, we make both a manual lift, which is just as rugged and safe for your data center equipment moves as our motorized lifts. But we sell more motorized lifts. Why? It comes down to frequency and quantity. If you have a small data center and you move equipment very infrequently, our manual lift, which lifts up to 350 pounds using a hand-cranking mechanism, might be just right. You’ll still get a solid lift that is safe to operate (no pinch points, stable on its own without strapping to a rack, dependable brakes, and precision alignment functionality). But if you are moving equipment more than “occasionally,” and your equipment is more than 350 pounds, you’re better off with one of our two motorized, push-button lifts, the SL-500X® Electric Lift, or the SL-1000X® Electric Lift. The SL-500X is our most popular lift, and it comes in both side-loading and front-loading versions (in case you have more than five feet available in front of your racks). But as data center equipment becomes heavier and more dense, we are selling more SL-1000X lifts. In all cases, though, one operator can safely install equipment with zero risk of injury. Our customer support agents will be happy to help you make the best decision for your needs.

Why OUR CUSTOMERS RELY ON SERVERLIFT®
Without a ServerLIFT® data center lift here, customers, they would be...let’s just say, very displeased if we didn’t offer that sort of a service when they got there and they went to rack their gear and they needed something to help them. It’s something that they rely on.
Bill Cory,Flexential
ServerLIFT® makes a great product that is easy to use, and promotes safety within the data center. It is especially useful to us in our new data centers, where we have standardized on 9ft. racks. I was most pleased with how easily it allowed us to move and re-rack our large AS/400 systems during a limited outage window.
Brad Gibbs,Lead Data Center Support
I would recommend it 100%. It literally has saved my team’s backs. This last year was our biggest year, and for us to do as much as we did (we did almost 200 racks in 6 months)...you can’t do that kind of work without having something that makes your job easier. ServerLIFT® solutions have taken all of that burden off of my team.
April Turner,Groupware Tech
I was initially using a manual lift to move servers and other equipment. When the ServerLIFT® electric model came out it was an even better solution. If I have a server that needs to be installed and I am the only one available, I can get it down quickly and easily with the ServerLIFT® unit.
Dave Reno,IT Manager
We have a ServerLIFT® solution and it’s awesome. It can lift 500 lbs without issue. Even the largest Cisco devices can be installed using it. Our facilities group uses it to pull motors from CRAC Units. It’s well worth the investment.
Dan Balitewicz,Sr. Manager – Infrastructure Operations
In 15 minutes, we racked an HP chassis and 15 new hard drive enclosures, with only one engineer. Using our new ServerLIFT® lift is much safer and quicker than using 3 engineers.
Francisco Odiz, Triara
Safety is our #1 priority. Originally, we didn’t have the resources to install the hardware safely. We were using other brands of both battery- operated and hand-crank lifts, but they required too much maintenance. Now, our ServerLIFT® unit is well-used and everybody is happy with the 'Cadillac' we bought. It’s a great investment.
Rory Bennett,Senior Data Center Manager, AT&T Mobility
The ServerLIFT® unit was of great benefit during the racking of our blade centers. With the use of the strap kit, one person was able to unbox and safely place the 300-pound device into a rack on the rails. The benefit of not having to remove the blades and power supply components from the chassis to make it lighter saved time and potential damage.
