We’ve started seeing some requests from customers looking for support to install vertical servers weighing 100 lbs or more.
This could have been a problem, since most our server-handling lifts are purpose-built to install servers horizontally.
However, our engineers went to work to solve the problem and developed an attachment that addresses vertical installations.
le VMH-500X Vertical Module Handler supports all your IT equipment, keeping it safe and stable as you remove, transport, and install it. When you are installing or removing a server, you simply line up the chassis with the vertical rails in your rack and slide the server into place.
This attachment is compatible with large-chassis systems, including the Arista 7812 and 7816L Fabric Modules. It works with any ServerLIFT data center lift, including both front-loading and side-loading models.
This is great news, because it means you can have the best of both worlds. Use your existing ServerLIFT model to install and move all the traditional servers and switches in your facility, and then attach the VMH-500X™ Vertical Module Handler when you encounter a vertical chassis. You can easily attach the VMH-500X™ with the included thumbscrews and then remove it when it’s not needed.
This should keep your facility future-proof even if the whole landscape of server shapes and sizes changes around you.
Unlock the full potential of your lift with ServerLIFT attachments.
We want to ensure that you always have everything you need to complete equipment moves and installations safely and easily, without risking injuries to your workers or damage to your IT equipment investments.
Custom attachments, such as the VMH-500X Vertical Module Handler, give you full control over even the most complex installation scenarios. When you need to customize your experience further, check out our Attachments and Accessories page.
