An apparatus is described that forms a lifting and lowering assembly for equipment racks, or other equipment items, by attaching lifters onto a computer equipment rack, and other datacenter equipment, in order to allow the equipment or equipment rack to be raised or lowered vertically without unloading the equipment rack. The lifters mounted on the equipment rack are controlled by a remote control passing signals through a power supply/relay control box that are connected to the rack mounted lifters. Through the attachment and activation of rack mounted lifters, the assembly may raise and lower fully loaded equipment racks in a vertical direction to assist in the maintenance and relocation of equipment racks or other data center equipment.
