600RS

Open-back switch and server lift for tight aisles.

The 600RS is the original RackLift® device lifter: an open-back frame that keeps heavy, unbalanced loads centered while a bi-directional sliding table feeds equipment from the front or the rear of a cabinet. A high-ratio safety winch does the lifting. Wheel brakes and cabinet straps do the rest. Built for containment aisles where a warehouse lift simply will not fit.

Pricing is quoted in USD.

Equipment lift

600RS against a typical server lift

The 600RS lifts equipment into the rack; a server, switch, or battery. It does not lift the cabinet. The RL3500S and RL5000S are that job. Here the 600RS is set next to a typical server lift, not next to a cabinet mover.

600RS

Typical server lift

What it moves

One server, switch, or battery onto the rails.

One device onto the rails. Not a cabinet.

Capacity

650 lb

Read their data plate. A closed-back lift often cannot hold an oversized, unbalanced switch.

Into the rack

24″, from the front or the rear

About 6″ on a general-purpose lift

Aisle

360° inside a 42.2″ two-tile aisle

A long base often will not turn in two tiles

Frame

Open back. The chassis can overhang both ends.

Closed back. An overhanging load does not sit on the table.

Drive

Hand winch. Brake sets when the handle is released. No hydraulics.

Often a short platform, and a second person once the switch is heavy.

Crew

1 technician

Frequently two people on a 300–650 lb device

Moving the cabinet itself, equipment still in it, is the RL3500S and RL5000S comparison.
