Server Lift...

We have a large server upgrade project coming up. Can anyone recommend a good server lift?

As many servers can be quite heavy I would highly suggesting lifting with your knees and not your back. I would also advise in using the "buddy system". A sturdy cart might be useful if you intend to move it more than 100 ft.

There are hydraulic moving jacks/dollies available if you have the budget but I don't know any brand names, try google for computer dolly, cabinet jack, etc. I once helped move a mainframe cabinet, and we had to use 4 hydraulic jack dollies, the thing must have weighed 5000 pounds or so.

As Adam said, be careful about lifting if you do it yourself. Sometimes a good heavy-duty hand truck (or two) can be helpful.

Thanks for the help guys. I was thinking something electric and specialized for the datacenter. I recently came across the ServerLIFT SL-500X and it loots pretty cool

I don't know any specific models but one thing from my experience you want to look for is a server lift that goes higher than 5 feet. The one we have in the data center I work at only goes about 5 feet so you pretty much have to rely on the buddy system if you want to rack a server bigger than 1-2U above say 30U on the rack.
