Part of your responsibilities within your data centre are safety and efficiency. There are many different pieces of equipment which can be utilized by your employees to make sure that both of these are always at peak levels.
As far as a lifting device is concerned, the premiere item that you have available to you is the SL500 server lifter. In order to operate this piece of machinery and to make sure that it is functioning at peak levels, I have prepared a short primer that will walk you through the basic options that this lift brings to the table.
As with any new piece of machinery, the first thing to do is to familiarise yourself with the various aspects of the equipment. Knowing the limits of the server lift, such as its ability to lift 500 pounds to a maximum of 8 feet can help you to know what you're able to do with this item. You need to keep in mind, the lifter is not only able to put servers into place, it is able to lift any heavy items that would fit on the platform, such as batteries. The lifter does not only lift equipment in to racks but also removes equipment from racks and with the aid of loading straps also equipment from their boxes.
A good benefit of the server lift is the actually footprint or size. The platform itself is only 24 inches wide which easily allows you to navigate through a 26 inch opening between the server racks. Another benefit is the sliding draw or shelf that the server lift has. Once the desired piece of equipment is at the right height the shelf can extend 6" in to the rack making the job even easier.
As the equipment is delicate, the server lift can be locked in to position with the locking brakes to stop it moving once you have it positioned. When properly engaged, this will keep the server lift from moving from side to side effectively.
The four castors allow the server lift to roll and swivel easily, pretty much like a shopping trolley. The front castors have locks to prevent them from swiveling which is an excellent choice when you are maneuvering the SL500 server lifter through a very narrow area. The server lift was designed with easy movement through difficult environments.
There are plenty other features and benefits that makes the SL500 server lift the preferred choice for your data centre. They come fully assembled and there is no certification that is necessary for you to operate the lift. You will instantly see a boost in the productivity and efficiency of your data centre, along with reducing the possibility that you will have any work-related accidents that result in injury due to lifting these heavy items.
