General Operation for the SL500 Server Lift
Part of your responsibilities within your data centre are safety and efficiency. As with anything, there are tools and equipment that can assist to make the data centre more efficient and safe.
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. Most data centres are different, some small some large, some with lots or room and some with thin isles. So it would be wise to first know that the SL500 server lift can lift items upto 500lbs with a reach of 8 feet when fully extended. Another aspect of the lifter is that it does not only lift servers as the name implies, the lifter can lift any piece of equipment upto 500lbs, these may include batteries and UPS's. It can also easily assist you in the removal of these items as well.
One of the key benefits of this server lift is the fact that it has a very narrow footprint. 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.
You should also understand the use of the locking brake and stabilizer system.. When properly engaged, this will keep the server lift from shifting 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. This lift is designed to be easily maneuvered through these areas.
There are plenty other features and benefits that makes the SL500 server lift the preferred choice for your data centre. You do not require any certification to operate the server lift and it comes assembled. 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 disasters that result in injury due to lifting these weighty items.
