What Attachments Do You Offer To Extend The Range Of The Lifts?
Sometimes you need a little extra help from an accessory that can handle a tough fit or unusual aisle configuration, or you simply want to be able to lift a super heavy piece of equipment out of its box (without breaking your back!). So our engineers have come up with ways to solve these problems for you. Our Glide Table makes installs smooth and friction-free. The Lift Extension makes it easy for a single operator to remove heavy equipment from shipping boxes. Our RS-500X™ J-Rail Assist is a safe and convenient way to angle servers in and out of “j-shaped” drop-in rails. Our PL-500X™ Platform Extension brings the reach of […]
Is Your Server In Our Server Database?
It’s probably one of the biggest collections of the world’s servers—and it also happens to be a constantly updated list of all the servers you can remove, transport, and install with our designed-for-datacenter lifts, as we describe in this video. If you want to make sure that your server can be lifted by a ServerLIFT® device, you’ll want to check out this database. You can search by manufacturer (including Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Huawei, IBM, Inspur, Juniper Networks, Lenovo, NEC, NVIDIA, Oracle, Sugon, and Supermicro), name, width, height, weight, and more, and almost all servers in the database also include their data sheets and manuals. It’s an incredible reference, even […]
Move 200 Servers In Less Than 36 Hours? No Problem!
ServerLIFT® users are happy to help each other out, when the occasion calls for it. As this video explains, we were contacted by a data center manager who had to install 200 servers in less than 36 hours (!). Overnight shipping would bust their budget, so we set to work. Our super helpful team started calling ServerLIFT® customers close to this data center manager, and sure enough, on our first call, we found a client with a six-month-old SL-500X® model lift. He generously invited the data center manager to come and pick it up—so they could use it to meet their “impossible deadline.” And they did! That was a very […]
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.
