How Many Lifts Can Be Charged Using One Outlet?

Recently a customer contacted our Client Experience team to ask about the current draw at 110v to determine how many data center lifts could be connected to the same outlet via a power strip.

We told them that most outlets run on a 15 or 20 amp fuse and that our lifts draw from 5-10 amps at a time. We recommended plugging in no more than two of our lifts per 110v outlet with or without power strips.

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,Flexentiel

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,Assistance Lead Data Center

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.

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,Gestionnaire principal - Opérations d'infrastructure

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,Gestionnaire principal de centre de données, AT&T Mobility

Le 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.
