Captain (Pallet) Jack
Aug. 26th, 2005 11:06 am"One more thing," she says as I return to the office I share with my co-worker. "If you guys could move the old UPS batteries sometime today... we've got a class in there Monday, and APC won't be picking up the old batteries by then."
These puppies are about 450lb, half a meter on each side, and two per pallet.
It was eventually decided that I should go around the office park to see if anyone would be neighborly enough to loan us a pallet jack. To my surprise, Adelphia Cable didn't blink -- Tanya agreed immediately and cheerfully. The jack made it a lot easier, and it turns out that our network guru is also a former Seabee certified with a pallet jack and most kinds of heavy equipment (graders, bulldozers, etc.) He parked those batteries in just a few minutes.
So all is well, and the racks are really shaping up nicely. Flickr photoset to come soon.
