In the 3rd photo of that listing the Genie logo is visible across the top horizontal beam. Maybe this was a standard Genie product at the time, or maybe custom made to IBM specifications. Their closest current product looks like the Genie Load Lifter. Looks like those go for around $1000 or more new. https://www.genielift.com/en/material-handling-products/material-lifts
