Wow..! that is a _really_ nice lifting dolly, looks like it folds up as well. You're right, we discussed these
types of units a while ago, and I bodged together my PDP-Lifter http://web.aanet.com.au/~malikoff/pdp11/PDP-Lifter/
which I used last weekend to speedily lift a rather heavy Kennedy tape unit to the top of an H960 with barely any effort.
I looked for rack equipment lifting gear at the time but never saw anything like this. I'd say it was well worth it
for the personal safety improvement alone.
