<p>But if you had the lift mechanism to the back instead of the
side, it wouldn't fit down that narrow aisle in the first place.
This is really the most space-efficient design. The only way you
could have the crank on the same side as the server, would be to
have the crank at a height where it would be higher than the
highest server slot in your rack, would create other practical
issues. <br>
</p>
<p>They way this lift is designed, if the lift can't fit down the
aisle, the chances are that the server is too long to fit between
the racks, too. <br>

<div>Wish I had had something like that. <br>

<div>The only downside to that unit I can see is that the crank
is on the opposite side of the unit from where the lifted
computer would be. In a narrow aisle situation a person
working alone would have to walk all the way around to reach
the other side to install/remove the server after having set
the height.</div>
