[Beowulf] [EXTERNAL] server lift

[Prentice Bisbal]

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.

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.
