Data Centers

Fully customizable solutions for cloud computing infrastructure. Server rack access equipment that increases safety and eliminates ladders in tight confines.

i featured projects

Data centers present incredibly unique access challenges. Narrow spaces, hard-to-reach cabling, and overhead obstacles are just a few. Our cantilevered, adjustable compact lifts can be designed for site-specific layouts, heightening safety and simplifying installation and maintenance tasks throughout a data center. With innovative designs for space-restrictive spaces, we’re trusted by the biggest names in tech to solve access issues in their cloud-computing centers.

i The spika difference

The Spika Cloud supports the preparation, installation, and maintenance of upper-level cable trays in hard-to-reach places.

Designed specifically for the most challenging busway access in data centers, the narrow and electrically height adjustable Spika Cloud provides supported semi-prone access overtop racks and reconfigures to accommodate infrastructure interferences, such as beams, pipes, and fire protection systems.

The Spika Cloud personnel lift easily moves through narrow aisles via electric caster assist or manual effort by one to two people and navigates the obstacles of infrastructure better than a scissor lift, low-level manlift, or picker. Emergency egress is available at all heights with a vertical ladder on either end. The system also compresses down during transportation to fit through a standard doorway.

Safety

  • The Spika Cloud is OSHA 1910 Subpart D compliant for walking-working surfaces.
  • A working load rating of 600 lbs. provides sure-footed stability.
  • Vertical guardrails can support 200 lbs. of force.
  • Emergency egress is available at any height via vertical ladders on each end.
  • The system has been analyzed to withstand a horizontal force of 15% of the rated workload with the test force applied to the highest point on the system at maximum working height with lean-out rail in use.
  • The system was analyzed to maintain a greater than 1.5 times resistance to tipping with 600 lbs. leaning against a deployed lean-out rail.
  • Battery-powered height adjustability ensures the system can raise and lower without being tethered to a wall or creating trip hazards.
  • Outrigger jacks ensure stability of the narrow stand while in use.
  • Positive-locking safety gates on either end eliminate fall risks.

Versatility

  • The 21” footprint width fits within narrow spaces and aisles where ladders and other lifts are too large.
  • A 45° lean-out extension supports the body weight of a technician during access to the cables to eliminate any straining or awkward balancing commonly required while using a ladder.
  • Height adjustability of 950mm provides access to multiple rack heights.
  • Telescopic and folding guardrails accommodate overhead obstructions and allow the stand to compress to fit through a standard doorway.
  • Dual-disc casters support manual maneuverability to reduce the risk of damaging equipment. A motorized caster assist may be added for additional positioning support.

"Spika can make a complicated custom application that meets the need, and if it doesn’t work, they change it the next day and do a prototype of the development. It helps to get you quickly narrowed in to the right solution... Spika’s design team was just like an extension of my design team.... From initial proposal to design to production, I feel like Spika is a big team player making us successful for our customer."
