What features should I look for in a data center cabinet lift?

  • Capacity: 650–5,000 lbs (including edge loads)
  • Reach: 42 rack units (U) for full-height access, with options to customize for full height cabinets
  • Platform extension: 18–24″ for precise rack insertion
  • Footprint: Narrow, with 360° for tight aisles
  • Power system: Electric or manual lift mechanisms that are sealed (no hydraulics)
  • Safety: Auto-brakes, locking casters, lower center of gravity
  • Controls: Easy to reach and actuate
  • Modularity: Compatibility with motorized tugs for ramps and heavy loads to prioritize safe moving

Avoid general-purpose jacks; they lack rack-specific stability and safety.
