Our History
. . . “Where is your floor lifter tool?” . . .
In 1969, that was the question being asked by Bob Lukeman while conducting data center security audits. Unfortunately, when answering that question, most data center personnel were unable to quickly and easily locate their floor lifter tool…especially if they needed it in an emergency. Their lifter tools were usually out-of-sight – either tucked away in a desk drawer, misplaced in a computing cabinet, lost, or even occasionally out in the car to pull a dent out of the vehicle's side panel!! Bob recognized this was a serious safety issue and something needed to be done.
So the first and original Lifter-Brac® floor lifter tool wall bracket was designed, patented, and began selling. The heavy duty, yet attractively designed, lifter tool wall bracket was mounted in prominent locations in the data center – visible by all operations personnel – and easily located in case of an emergency. If the floor lifter tool was not placed on the wall bracket, its absence was readily recognized and immediate steps were taken in order to retrieve it or procure a new one.
The Lifter-Brac® has now been successfully selling for over half a century and is installed in raised floor environments around the globe. Don’t consider just any lifter tool wall bracket. Sure...there are other wall brackets on the market today but none match the outstanding quality and superior design of the original Lifter-Brac®!
