+1 for the manual
We had an electric scissor lift in the DC, and exactly that happened -
battery died. More expensive to replace than buying a new lift.
So we got a manual one (making sure it can go to full rack height which
is very useful) - much less likely to go wrong.

I like the serverlift, having used one in our colo. If I got one, I
would go with the crank one. Electric is nice, but when the battery is
dead, you're stuck. Maybe it would have run off of wall power, but our
colo space is all 208v so I couldn't be sure if I could plug it in
there. Don't want to let out the blue smoke.... :-)

Do you want one with a scissor lift type arrangement, or
with a "prongs" arrangement (more like a forklift)
For instance, the scissor types have a nice flat surface
that remains level, so you can slide stuff off a table onto
the lift, or from the lift onto a table. But you don't have
access "under" the platform.

we're using an older genie lift as a server lift
currently. which as
you can guess isn't designed for servers. the most
recent set of
compute nodes we purchased are pretty much impossible
to lift by man
(even if that was a good idea) and the genie lift is
getting awkward
in our cramped data center given it's design and server
weight.
i can certainly google for one, but they all look great
in the
glossies. does anyone want to provide some real world
info?
