<div dir="ltr">I like the serverlift, having used one in our colo. If I got one, I would go with the crank one. Electric is nice, but when the battery is dead, you're stuck. Maybe it would have run off of wall power, but our colo space is all 208v so I couldn't be sure if I could plug it in there. Don't want to let out the blue smoke.... :-)<div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 12:47 PM Michael Di Domenico <<a href="mailto:mdidomenico4@gmail.com">mdidomenico4@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">i would love to go oil bath, it's just not in the cards for this data center<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 2:34 AM Stu Midgley <<a href="mailto:sdm900@gmail.com" target="_blank">sdm900@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">we use a gantry crane...<div><br></div><div>From our install in 2019 :)</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_kuxpo2030" alt="image.png" width="562" height="273"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 9:34 AM Lux, Jim (US 7140) via Beowulf <<a href="mailto:beowulf@beowulf.org" target="_blank">beowulf@beowulf.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Do you want one with a scissor lift type arrangement, or with a "prongs" arrangement (more like a forklift)<br>
<br>
For instance, the scissor types have a nice flat surface that remains level, so you can slide stuff off a table onto the lift, or from the lift onto a table. But you don't have access "under" the platform. <br>

we're using an older genie lift as a server lift currently. which as<br>
you can guess isn't designed for servers. the most recent set of<br>
compute nodes we purchased are pretty much impossible to lift by man<br>
(even if that was a good idea) and the genie lift is getting awkward<br>
in our cramped data center given it's design and server weight.<br>
<br>
i can certainly google for one, but they all look great in the<br>
glossies. does anyone want to provide some real world info?<br>
