Mobile Lift is another manufacturer of similar lifts / stackers, some with much higher lifting capacities.
If you're putting stuff onto a shelf or existing rails (like you REALLY should be!) there are various companies making scissor-lift mobile carts/tables/dollies, though any adjustable lift should work in such a situation. Best value is probably a Mobile Lift 500-lb winch lift with 20x20" platform and 54" lift height at ~$775[cdn] from Avenue Inustrial Supply. Just mount the rails in the cabinet (or shelf on the rack) and mount the mating slides on the box, plop the box on the lift, wheel it into place, winch up to line up the rails (or shelf), and slide it into its new home.
All of this issue of course clearly identifies why it's cricital to pay for the extra floor space and have suitable amounts of clearance on both sides of a rack or cabinet! ;-)
Sheesh. And people think I'm insane for wrestling two 12008's into racks. By myself. With my bad arm (broken titanium rod inside broken arm for 1 1/2 years, email for copies of a really pretty x-ray!) and bad leg (partially fused crushed ankle from auto accident). I think the day after, I was praying to $deity for one of these things the next time I have to move heavy stuff like that. -j -- -Jonathan Disher -Sr. Systems and Network Engineer -Internet Pictures Corporation, San Ramon, CA -[v] (650) 280-4833 | [p] (877) 446-9311 | [e] jdisher@eng.ipix.com
