Lifting stuff into racks

At work they've got a really neat gadget for this, it'll work for stuff that's not mounted to high (or heavy). Basically you turn a crank and it lifts it to more or less the height you need, but it still takes a couple people at least to finish the job. I've only been involved in using it once, since our UNIX servers come built into their own racks (yes, we use big UNIX systems). Anyway the one NT guy needed some help and foolish me, I said I'd help. Let me tell you, Compaq makes some HEAVY gear (I've got DEC stuff that's bigger, and a lot lighter)! It was all the gadget could handle getting it up. Zane -- | Zane H.
