Editorial: Most server lifts have either annoying struts in the front that prevent you from going right up to the rack or are very expensive ($6500+). This is a novel model that allows you to go right up to a rack. Imagine you have a Sun X4500 that you want to slide right into the rails. This unit would allow you to slide it right into the rails in contrast to most where the struts on the bottom will get in a the way. It comes in various capacities from 200lb to 1500lb. The center of gravity is close to the back of the forks, so to compensate for this get one with a higher capacity than the gear you are lifting to adjust the center of gravity out on the fork. A 600lb unit should easily be able to handle a 200lb X4500. In addition, the price is about 1/3 of the typical 'server branded lifts' you will find. On the downside, while it comes with a tray to put over the forks, it is not ESD coated. This can be compensated by adding a sheet of ESD material on top of the tray.
