harbor freight has some excellent platform lift things...
worth checking....
we like things like this as large TV studio cameras weigh 100 to 200
<<and one here is 300 (tk42)>
when we get a caucus in and want to clean it up and make it presentable
for display we like to work on it at bench height...
(once in a while it is good to raise a tape drive up in the air
too...)

the computer room and put in another rack by my self......no more.... I
just look at it in the rack and get tired now!!>>

So there was some discussion a while back about using
lifts to put heavy

in racks. I'm going to be doing some of that
soon, and I was wondering
how I'd
go about acquiring something like that at a
non-exorbitant price? (eBait
was
not useful, and Googling "user server lift"
didn't produce anything
either.)
I've used an "engine hoist" around
the shop to move heavy
stuff. It has an extendable beam and a bottle jack to raise
it. It folds up into a pretty small package when not in
use. These can often be had pretty cheaply.
