Reach the Bottom-Most Rack Positions with a ServerLIFT PL-500X™ Platform Extension
The PL-500X™ Platform Extension transforms the ServerLIFT® device into the only tool that can safely support heavy servers down to the floor or up to the top of any rack. The extension’s platform leveler enables the operator to tilt the equipment up or down for precise server alignment and perfect installations every time.

Lifting Servers from Boxes and Pallets
You and your staff will never again have to lift IT equipment off pallets or out of boxes, avoiding the risk of a back injury and/or server damage.
The Platform Extension gives you reach beyond the ServerLIFT® Wheel Base for interference-free overhead access to new server packaging.
With the four sling hooks installed on the extension, slide the heavy-duty yellow slings under the server you want to un-box, and secure each end to one of the hooks. Then, the ServerLIFT® machine and PL-500X™ Extension combine to lift the server and its packaging right up off of the ground.
You can easily remove the box and packing foam from the server fully intact to save for later, in case of a return or future migration project.
After setting the server down onto a table or counter and transferring it to the ServerLIFT® or PL-500X™ platform surface, you’re ready to shift to installation mode.

Why Our Customers Rely On ServerLIFT®
We really rely on our ServerLIFT® device. It was one of the best investments we made for our data centers. Thank you!
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.
