But if you had the lift mechanism to the back instead of the side, it
wouldn't fit down that narrow aisle in the first place. This is really
the most space-efficient design. The only way you could have the crank
on the same side as the server, would be to have the crank at a height
where it would be higher than the highest server slot in your rack,
would create other practical issues.
They way this lift is designed, if the lift can't fit down the aisle,
the chances are that the server is too long to fit between the racks, too.

Wish I had had something like that.
The only downside to that unit I can see is that the crank is on the
opposite side of the unit from where the lifted computer would be. In
a narrow aisle situation a person working alone would have to walk all
the way around to reach the other side to install/remove the server
after having set the height.
