Even after spending nearly 20 years helping eliminate all unsafe, manual handling of rack-mounted IT equipment in data centers across the world, we are sometimes reminded that while buying ServerLIFT® lifting solutions is the easiest and safest data center decision, integrating them into the operations can take a lot of planning. Before buying and implementing our lifts, a prominent government contractor impressed us with their diligent safety procedures by having us submit a detailed Safety Plan for us to perform work at their site. Odd, we thought, since we are just providing them the tool that they will use. But kudos to them because their safety team was thinking ahead about if and when ServerLIFT® techs might need to come onsite to perform service, warranty, or preventative maintenance work on their lifts. The plan had to be comprehensive and detailed. It took time but it’s always worth it when safety is the priority.
