Operational Content, I think...

This comes up every now and then, and I still haven't seen a good solution, so here is the situation. Every now and then, the graveyard maintenance shift (read: few people) needs to mount a 7' tall or 600 lb piece of equipment we've all come to know and love in a rack. While pad jacks are available to move them around the datacenter floor, equipped with friendly hydraulics and all, there is a piece missing. Is there a common-sense piece of equipment available that 1 person can operate that will support a very bulky, rackmountable piece of equipment so the same, single person can mount/unmount it near the top of a rack? I have seen plenty of solutions for this on warehouse floors, but most datacenters don't have the ceiling height for track-crane. I don't know how people handle the 15' relay racks either now that I am sharing my gap in knowledge. Your advice, suggestions and even jokes are appreciated, but remember, I'm armed. :) Deepak
