[vcf-midatlantic] Rack lift

[malcolm at avitech.com.au]

On eBay's Australian site there is a trolley lift available for around US$500.  I assume these are from China and probably available in the U.S. as well.

Typically they (claim to) winch a 200lb load to 5ft.

Picture attached.

Here's the link (which may or may not work in the U.S.) -> https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-DUCT-WINCH-LIFTER-Lifts-up-to-1-5mtrs-Converts-into-a-flatbed-trolley/122001749316?hash=item1c67def544:g:mbAAAOSw6btXTRMj

Not as good as a Serverlift or Genie Lift, but perhaps a little more economical.

I haven't seen one of these close up, but have been tempted to purchase.

Malcolm.
