[geeks] Server lift: rent, borrow, or buy?

[Vintage Coder]

Hi Will,

The two things that jump to mind are a hi-lift jack for jeeps and a transmission jack. Both have long reaches, but the tranny jack is more stable. The question is will it fit inside the bottom of your rack. Harbor Freight has some half ton rated models for less than 100 bucks. I have no idea if they're any good but the name brand jacks cost a fortune. 

Don't the guys who sold you the boxes have any ideas?

Congrats on the new hardware! What are you going to use it for?
