Subject: Lifting stuff into racks
What kind of equipment/strategy do we use to lift
heavy equipment
into
place in a rack so that it can be fastened to the
rack? Is there
some
jack or hydraulic lift that can be used?
Please tell me that the best method doesn't begin with "create a
list of
muscular friends".
There was a garage sale around the corner from me that was selling
scissor jacks left over from installing rack mounted equipment.
These were big steel 19" square jacks it looked at the time that it
would only lift the item a foot at most.
I have a PDP 11/34 that either needs help lifting the parts into the
racks or someone who will take it home.
