Helping Our Troops
As a veteran-owned company, we always consider it a privilege to help out the troops who risk their lives for us every day. A military branch reached out to ServerLIFT® recently—they didn’t want to put anyone at risk in their data center! We worked with their limited budget—they were worried that they wouldn’t be able to get the ServerLIFT-brand solution they knew they so desperately needed to keep their essential people (and equipment) safe. Because we offer multiple ways to buy (including financing, leasing, and renting), we were able to work out a program that allowed them to buy it and stay within budget. What an amazing opportunity this was […]
Data Center Lifts Certified For You
A prospective customer gave us a call recently. They were considering purchasing one of our motorized lifts, but had a reason for hesitation. They wanted to know if our ServerLIFT® machines were properly certified for data center use. We assured them that we not only comply with international safety certifications, but also with Federal Communication Commission (FCC) guidelines for electromagnetic interference, and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification for quality assurance, continual improvement, and environmental impact. We’ve got the proper standards in place to match any and all you must meet to operate your data center.
One-Button Convenience
A potential customer at a colocation data center said he had a lift on site. After some discussion, we were pretty sure it was one of the “warehouse lifts,” which tend to cause problems in data centers. Unlike our lifts, they are not specifically designed for data center use. He said they have to crank and crank it up and down, but that it eventually gets the job done. He did admit that it does not perform well with heavier equipment on it. He said that they are a very small data center and he is not sure he will be able to get approval for purchasing a data-center-centric lift. […]

Data Center Lifts Built Like Tanks
We checked in with a customer who has a couple of lifts. They told us they’re working out great. They said they loved them and that they are “built like tanks,” able to take all the abuse (not that we recommend abusing them!) they get from a variety of operators. After they started using them, he thought they were worth every penny, a true data-center-specific workhorse. He said he “appreciates and respects the ServerLIFT® brand.” All of this just made our day!
