Frequently Asked Questions
A DataLift is a mobile lifting platform specifically engineered to assist in transporting servers or other IT equipment to the appropriate height for installation in a server rack.
It is designed to improve safety and efficiency during the handling and placement of heavy or sensitive data center hardware.
Installing equipment in a 42U rack is already a challenging task that often requires a DataLift. The difficulty increases even more with a 52U rack, which stands at 2.44 meters (7.58 feet) tall, making access to the top rack units especially demanding.
That’s why the DataLift E family and DataLift F were developed—to make lifting tasks easier and safer for technicians working with tall server racks.
The IXOLIFT DataLifts comply with the following European and iinternational regulations:
This server equipment lifter is designed and manufactured in Finland to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards for excellence in quality and environmental management systems.
Certified for Safety & Compliance Built to uphold the highest safety benchmarks, the lifter complies with both of the European and international regulations, including:
• Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive)
• EN ISO 3691-5:2020 11 (Industrial trucks – Safety requirements for manually operated trucks)
• EN ISO 12100:2010 (General principles for design Risk assessment and risk reduction)
DataLift E Max and DataLift E Max LIB are the most heavy-duty lifts, offering an operating height of up to 1.5 m with a center load capacity of 500 kg (1,100 lbs).
They can also reach an overall lifting height of 2.4 m (7.87 ft) with a maximum load of 250 kg (550 lbs).
A DataLift is purpose-built for the unique challenges of installing and removing servers in data centers – offering greater safety, precision, and ease of use compared to a standard material handling platform, which is designed for general warehouse or industrial use.
DataLift E Pro (LIB), DataLift E Max (LIB), and DataLift F Pro can reach a maximum height of 2.4 m, while DataLift M has a maximum height of 2.3 m.
Please refer to the brochures for the specific load capacities of each model.
Our electric DataLifts are powered by AGM or lithium batteries — both of which are maintenance-free and eliminate the need for daily or routine upkeep. AGM and lithium batteries are sealed and spill-proof making them a dependable, hassle-free choice for data center environments. In contrast, traditional lead-acid batteries require regular maintenance to ensure safe and reliable operation.
