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 Breaking
A customer is considering purchasing an SL-350X lift with a GT-1000X bi-directional glide table, and possibly an RS-500X rail lift. They have been struggling with old legacy Chatsworth racks in their data center. It takes two to three people to uninstall this legacy equipment. The equipment (mostly Cisco switches) is very heavy and the racks […]

Halloween Story
Ouch! A customer purchased a lift—not one of ours—10 years ago. It was their go-to lift until it recently failed, got bound up, and almost claimed the finger of an engineer! Now no one trusts it, obviously, and they are actually scared of using this lift. After this incident, they decided to purchase an SL-350X […]
