Customer A: Used an alternative lift to migrate servers

A national organization purchased a ServerLift SL500 after their data center experienced a serious server migration related accident resulting from the use of a different solution. The alternative lift did not have the necessary features and functions to address safe handle of servers. For example, the existing solution lacked the ability to provide a safe transition from the lift to the rack. A $10,000 server was dropped onto an installerís foot causing bone damage, server damages, and data loss.
Repercussions of this common incident included the need for server replacement and setup, the cost of workers compensation claim, down time, insurance suit, and so forth. Estimated cost of using alternative solution exceeded $100,000.

Customer B: Installing Servers Manually

Data center technicians were instructed to install servers by hand. Attempting to lift a 60LB server over their head, a technician experienced an extensive back injury necessitating his placement in the Intensive Care Unit at the local hospital. Although the server was not damaged in this case, the employee experienced a significant injury to his upper spine.
This accident caused the company to settle a hefty law suit, and was required to implement a safer method of migrating servers — ServerLift SL500 was selected as the improved solution.
Estimated cost of the incident in this case was in excess of $1 million. Repercussions to the technician include reoccurring and permanent spinal damages, personal and family distress, over one year of workers compensation, and several years of rehabilitation and occupational therapy.
