Yes, I would expect a lift at a colo but in terms of regulations (safety) I do not think it is a mandatory requirement for most colo's Allowing customers to use them can be a yes or no ; it requires some basic operational skills to operate - you just cant trust a client visiting to use it unless some vetting is in place for this. It should be free and a datacentre operator needs to assist or at-least supervise in usage. The weight depends on the model of the lift .

Hi NANOG community,
A few questions I have for the community regarding server lifts at colo facilities.
1. Is a server lift something you would typically expect a colo facility to provide?
if yes,
2. Do colo facilities typically allow customers to just use them or provide an operator? 3. Is it a free offering or something they rent out? 4. What would be the typical device weight you would lift? 5. What would be the max device weight you would lift?
Thanks,
Jason
