Manual and Battery Operated People Lifters

In the world of data center operations, ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability is paramount. The EcoDC People Lifter is a revolutionary solution, addressing these critical aspects with its innovative design and functionality.

1. EcoDC – Completely manual people lifter for the safe and easy access of the overhead infrastructure in the data centre

Completely manual, the EcoDC is elevated by simply and easily rotating the handle; with only 10% operator input and 90% mechanism input, the patented lifting mechanism glides you smoothly to your chosen working height in seconds. With no batteries (to charge or look after) and no hydraulic oil, the EcoDC is truly an eco-friendly solution. Its small footprint and simplicity of use finally provide a purely mechanical solution that doesn’t involve erecting, unfolding, or climbing. With a working height of up to 4.2m, the EcoDC people lifter is ideal for performing maintenance, installation, or visual inspection work at or on the overhead supply infrastructure in the data centre.
