Is there a common-sense piece of equipment available that 1 person can operate that will support a very bulky, rackmountable piece of equipment so the same, single person can mount/unmount it near the top of a rack?
Genie lift makes a number of approrpiate products: http://www.genielift.com/ Something like this http://www.genielift.com/ml-series/ml-1-2.html from behind works quite well. They make a counterweighted version I can't find on the web site better for the front. With forks you can even side it into a rack. With a flat platform welding on a heavy duity drawer slide will allow you to slide smaller gear in and out of a rack. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
