<br>
we have one with the prongs now, that's one of the biggest issues.<br>
trying to slide an unlevel server, that's very heavy, onto rails in<br>
the rack is difficult. and with the width of the isle and the counter<br>
weight on the lift, trying to lift the low side of the server slightly<br>
involves and act of yoga by a superhero<br></blockquote><div><br></div>If
the prongs are level couldn't you attach a shelf of sorts to it? Then
you would only have to slide the computer onto or off of the level
smooth shelf. Consider the big industrial forklifts, they are usually
lifting palettes, rathan than the objects themselves, even when there is
just one big object.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Regards,</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">David Mathog</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br><br></div></div>
