Safety Overdrive

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 […]

One Data Center’s Trash is Another’s Treasure

Certified Pre-Owned Server-handling Lifts

Despite the continued growth of the IT industry, like any other, it also has businesses that reach end-of-life. That’s why we were happy to help buy back two ServerLIFT® SL-500X® powered lifts from a data center that was being decommissioned. As soon as we get the machines back to our facility, we’ll fully inspect, test, and refurbish these fantastic data center safety tools as certified pre-owned lifts for another facility that wants to give them a home. ServerLIFT® still has customers using their original SL500 Classic models that we shipped them nearly 20 years ago!

Client Sells Entire Team on ServerLIFT® データセンターの伸び

A long-time member of our user community told us recently how he worked in a data center overseas years ago, where they used our SL-350X® hand-crank model lifts. Fast forward to the present. He is now working for a company here in the United States, and they were lifting servers with a warehouse lift 😢. He informed his team that they were going to have OSHA problems and injuries if they didn’t get a ServerLIFT® brand data center lift ASAP. They arranged an onsite demo, and their team fell in love with the machine. Now everyone there likes to claim that they started the relationship between their company and ours. […]

Supply Chain Crisis Effects On ServerLIFT® Products

The port delays and supply chain disruptions of the last couple of years had extended lead times for ServerLIFT® products (and many others) well beyond normal levels. Finally, those issues are starting to ease up which means we have been shipping out many more orders in shorter periods of time. While we’re not all the way back to pre-Covid lead times yet, our production crew and shipping carriers have been working overtime to help get orders fulfilled. It’s when times are toughest that it’s more important than ever for us, our suppliers, and carriers to continue providing the same exceptional customer service we strive for everyday.

ServerLIFT® News | April 2023

Nature teaches us the necessity of seizing moments of change, regardless of when and how they appear. Trees that were bare mere weeks ago are now full of leaves. The sound of chirping birds, rarely heard in winter, now fills the air as they return to protective nests to have families. Similarly, there are moments of change happening for data centers. This month we discuss what they are and give some ideas on how best to capitalize on them. 1. Edge Computing Trends to Watch in 2023 A current moment of change for data centers has been edge computing. Edge computing itself is now shifting to smaller utility boxes that […]

Experts In Data Center Lift Service & Repair

Because data center lifts are mission-critical safety tools that are operational necessities, whenever a call comes in for service or repair, it’s our highest priority to get them fixed quickly. When a local data center called because six of their lifts were left outdoors, rusted and in disrepair, we dispatched one of our in-house production techs that day. Thankfully, they were able to fix a few of them onsite and we brought back the rest to our facility for a quick overhaul and redeployment.

Colocation Facility Provider: DC BLOX

Just five minutes from downtown Birmingham lies the DC BLOX colocation data center provider. Notably, DC BLOX was Alabama’s first multi-tenant data center to receive Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute.

High-power density options and redundant cooling for each cabinet system ensures that critical, demanding operations can […]
