most scissor lift type stuff isn't what I want... they have too limited of a
range of motion, and are very heavy. The thing I am thinking of HP CE's use
regularly nowdays, and you can darn near pick up the thing and put it under
your arm and walk away with it.

THAT is what I want! It's not as light as the HP ones, but it would be
perfect.

Now what I
REALLY want - is one of those lift genies that is like a
hand truck but with a large flat platform that you pump up and down.
Not to move racks, but to lift disc drives and tape drives up from 5
inches to 5 feet, so that they can be easily rackmounted. Haven't
found one cheap yet though.
I would pay up to $350 for such a thing (it sounds too
perfect). I've been looking for it in the form of a "scissor jack"
As it is I'm going to complete a device this Thursday
It's 5 pieces of steel welded in an archway configuration, 8' high
with a 1000 lb dead-lift rated come-along at the top pulling a
plywood elevator with steel cables. Total cost: $65 plus labor.
It'll be a compromise, I expect it to lift no more than 200 lb., for
racking.
