I got both drives into the rack this past weekend and I am an old guy (67) - I carefully stared at the thing before I started and finally figured out that I could, in fact, lift the drive from a waist high cart for a few seconds, but definitely could not lift it or lower it vertically with my arms - no way - and I would have one shot at getting the drives into the rack on the rails.
Harbor Freight sells a nice hydraulic lift table for under $200 that I have found very useful for that sort of thing. It doesn't go up very high (like for the top of a rack), but I used it with some wood blocks to lift a DEC ES45 Alpha system into a rack by myself. 500 pound capacity, 28.5" lift height, $170 https://www.harborfreight.com/500-lbs-capacity-hydraulic-table-cart-61405.html 1000 pound capacity, 34.5" lift height, $260 https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lbs-capacity-hydraulic-table-cart-69148.html Alan Frisbie
