Data Center Lifts For Non-Data Center Environments?
ServerLIFT® manufactures a variety of safety lifting devices that are specifically designed and safety-certified for data center use. But what if you need a lifting solution that is for a different environment? ServerLIFT® has you covered! We have had an influx of manufacturing companies looking to our products—especially the SL-500FX™ Front Loading Lift—to lift their equipment (such as heavy batteries). There are many use cases outside of the data center environment where our lifts may be the right choice to ensure safety for your staff and expensive equipment. Regardless of your specific use case, we believe that no one should be lifting heavy equipment by hand, so if you are in […]
Parlez-vous français? ¿Hablas español?
Data center managers enjoy the use of our data center lifts, all over the world. Which is why our site can be read in 23 different languages! Our operator manuals and product decals are offered in Spanish, French, and German, and our Tip N’ Tell crate sensor notifications are offered in English, French, and Spanish. All of this is our way of making sure that every customer has a positive experience with our lifts. That’s our goal!
Crate Sensors Ensure Your New Lift Arrives Safely
ServerLIFT® data center lifts come in a big, custom-made, sturdy box. That’s one way we make sure your new lift arrives in great condition. But we go a step further: we place Tip N’ Tell indicators on the cartons and crates, which will activate if goods are tipped or dropped on their side. When the lift arrives, the consignee or receiving agent inspects the indicators, and notes if there are any active indicators (along with any other visible damage to the carton, of course). Our customers tell us they are so glad when their ServerLIFT® data center lift arrives, no more manual lifting or struggling with a “warehouse” lift! These […]
What Does It Mean When A Lift Is “Designed Exclusively For Data Centers”?
Well, you start where you should start: by interviewing data center managers. You then design and build a machine whose size, functions, and ergonomics are perfect for data centers. How the machine moves, stays in place, is safe for the operator, makes it easy to remove, transport, and install with precision, and navigates today’s packed data centers. Then, as the years go by, you continue to listen to data center managers, finding out what their challenges are and figuring out how you can best meet them. Not just for the machines themselves, but their preferred buying process, shipping methods, and servicing options, and new accessories that will make things easier.
Who Can Help You Get The Right Data Center Lift?
A while back, we decided that we would take a different approach to “sales.” We put some of our best customer service people on the phones instead of “salespeople.” Their goal was simply to make it easier for our customers to buy, or even help them if ServerLIFT® wasn’t the perfect solution for them. We were so happy with the result. Revenue shot up, not only because we were helping the customers get exactly what they needed, but because their input helped us improve what we were doing. Our buyback and ability to service all types of data center lifts all came from this effort. It was a win-win for […]
Who Cares About Safety?
Everybody cares about safety, after one of your data center workers sustains an injury trying to lift a 300-pound server into a rack. And they definitely care about safety when that injury is accompanied by the worker dropping that expensive server because there was no data-center-specific lift available to remove, transport, and install that server. One drop can be very expensive, for the poor worker, the dinged up server, and the data center’s reputation.
Upgrade Your Lift
Do you have an old classic ServerLIFT® brand electric lift, or another lift that is not fit for data center use? Don’t worry! We have your back! Let us know what model lift you have and we will send you a quote to buy back your old lift and put the buyback credit toward the purchase of newer, more efficient, and safer lifting solution. Don’t forget to ask about our attachments and extended warranty options to get the most use out of your purchase.
What You Want? You Got It!
We confess! We literally love finding new ways to give our data center manager customers what they want. Need to figure out if our data center lifts can lift your equipment? Need to find a co-location company near you? Need a lift for super-heavy equipment? Need to load equipment into a bottom-rack position? About to embark on a very large migration? Trying to decide which type of lift to buy? Want to rent a lift, rather than buy one right now? Wish you could safely dispose of that lift you’re not using anymore—and recoup some of your cost? Want us to come out and service any kind of lift? Contact […]
Designed Specifically for Data Centers
There are companies that make warehouse lifts. They like to tout their lifts as appropriate for data centers. Too bad, because if you try to use one of those lifts in your narrow-aisle data center loaded with heavy and expensive servers, requiring pinpoint positioning and safe, one-operator use, you will see immediately that they are simply not up to the task. Only a lift that is designed specifically for safely and easily transporting, precisely positioning, installing, and removing your DC equipment can deliver on its promises, day in and day out. We are so glad we are still the only company making the only “designed for data centers only” lift.
The Babysitters Club
Wow. You won’t believe the call we just got. A regional colocation provider asked if we could expedite their recent data center lift order. They have one lift already, but at least five of their clients have been fighting like crazy over it! Okay – we’re going to do our best to move the delivery up…provided that everyone behaves and “plays nice”. We have a feeling an order for another 2-3 ServerLIFT® server-handling lifts might be coming in soon 😂.
