Defining Characteristics

ServerLIFT® server-handling lifts all have something in common; they are powerful, professional-grade machines designed specifically for your data center operational needs and safety standards. With all four models, we guarantee greater efficiency and safety for your operators and for your IT hardware.

Conquering the 3 Rules of a Data Center Lift 

Any assisted lifting device we create must master three primary requirements for it to be useful in any data center: transportation, positioning, and installation/removal.

server lift extended shelf accessorySide-Loading vs. Front-Loading Lifts

We offer lifts in both side-loading and front-loading configurations to meet the exact dimensions and layout of your data center or IT equipment transportation facility.

Hand-Cranked vs. Motorized Lifts

Our motorized lifts help to prevent muscle fatigue and equipment damage. They simplify complicated moves, even on the biggest jobs. Our lightest-capacity lift comes equipped with a powerful hand crank and provides an excellent alternative to motorized lifting for infrequent moves.

Each data center lifting device comes equipped with a robust 1-year manufacturer’s warranty, with optional extended service and warranty contracts available in single or multi-year terms.
