Well if we are name dropping - ours is this one
https://www.manutan.co.uk/en/key/mobile-double-scissor-lift-table-150kg-to-500kg
in the 500kg going up to 1605mm.
The short edge of the platform fits the front of a rack really well, so
one can slide things in and out of racks onto the lift table easily.
And yes - sturdy, doubles up as a trolley and/or work table. And not
electric so no battery to fail.

We have a number of "Strongway 2-Speed Hydraulic Rapid Lift XT Table
1000-Lb" carts, which are the scissor lift type.
They're sturdy. They double as simple moving carts (hauling a stack of
servers to surplus) or frequently used as a small, mobile work table
wherever needed within the datacenter. They were within our budget, too.
They don't extend high enough on their own to install something at the
very top of a rack but all we usually shim something (empty shipping
boxes?) to get the right height, if needed.

Do you want one with a scissor lift type arrangement, or with a
"prongs" arrangement (more like a forklift)
we have one with the prongs now, that's one of the biggest issues.
trying to slide an unlevel server, that's very heavy, onto rails in
the rack is difficult. and with the width of the isle and the counter
weight on the lift, trying to lift the low side of the server slightly
involves and act of yoga by a superhero
i was looking at ones from serverlift, they seem to have a flat
platform and side hoist rather then a rear hoist. seems like a good
design, but before i buy something i'd like to get some unbiased
opinions on it or others like it.
