Achieve Less Workplace Injuries In The Data Centre With A Server Lift

The common cause of injuries especially back injuries are caused by repetitive lifting of heavy objects within the workplace.

Close to, 80% of the injuries in the workplace are back injuries due to heavy lifting. This can be more common in a data centre, as some of the servers and other equipment that needs to be lifted can be quite heavy. If a server lift is introduced to your data centre this would dramatically reduce the amount of injuries especially back injuries in your data centre.

Of course, you have a number of different options that are available to you when choosing a server lifter and you want to make sure that you choose one that is going to be most convenient for you. Due to room size, a lot of data centres are filled with rack upon rack of equipment and the isles are generally slim to make more room for the racks and equipment within them. The SL500 server lift has a great advantage over its competitors as the footprint of the machine is really small. The SL500 server lift width is just 24 inches, so manoeuvring through slim isles is made a lot easier with this equipment.

An important factor when choosing a new server lift is to make sure it meets the current OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines that are set out. Not only does the SL500 meet those guideline, in some cases it exceeds them. This will give you the piece of mind that not only are you providing a safe working environment but also reducing the risk of injury and time off in the work place.

Another important factor when choosing a server lift is how much can it lift, the SL500 can lift up to 500 pounds in weight. So what about the height it can lift to, the SL500 server lift can lift equipment to a height of 8 feet, making it very convenient to lift equipment to the higher levels in your racks. In addition, you can also lift other items such as heavy batteries and with the included strap handles, remove items safely from a box with the use of this server lift.

The controls that operate the SL500 server lift are not only easy to understand and use, but extremely easy to manoeuvre heavy equipment very precisely in to and out of your racks. The brake/stabilizer locking system helps to keep the server lift in place while you are positioning the equipment.. The onboard controls give you the ability to manoeuvre any item into very restricted places, so that the server or other hardware can be slid into the rack effortlessly.

Selecting the right server lift can not only help you to make sure that your working environment is safe, when you choose the SL500, you're also giving yourself an efficient piece of machinery that your entire workforce will value.

So if you are looking for a new server lifter for your data centre, then the SL500 is a heavy contender and ticks the right boxes.
