Lift and Shift the Future

Grenzebach Data Center Solutions

Artificial Intelligence and rapid growth in digitalization are driving unprecedented demand for high-performance computing. Advanced server racks, GPU clusters, AI clusters and storage units now exceed the weight and dimensions that deployment and maintenance teams can safely lift, shift, or install with precision and speed.

Grenzebach meets these challenges through mobile robotics designed for the electro-mechanical realities of next-generation data centers. With deep experience in high-density complex automation and material flow environments across the data-center and automotive sectors, we provide systems that optimize operations, enhance safety, and significantly improve uptime without interrupting workloads.

Whether you manage large, standardized deployments or multi-tenant colocation environments with mixed hardware generations, our robotics can be adapted to your operation.

We are a grown-up start-up: we have decades of robotic engineering experience paired with curiosity, speed, and a deep understanding of hyperscale and AI-cluster operations. We build high-end solutions for a high-end sector, defining the robotic standard that modern, high-density facilities rely on every day.

Robotics-Superior Logistics for Next-Generation Data Centers

Grenzebach Data Center Solutions automates heavy, precise, and repetitive tasks that can no longer be managed manually. Our systems lift, shift, and position high-value high load racks, handle, insert and extract disks or servers accurately and safely, and support hot-swapping workflows without interruption of live systems. In constrained layouts, precisely controlled navigation replaces risky manual movements.

Safe, compliant, and auditable, even in multi-tenant environments

Our systems support ESD-safe handling, access-controlled operation, motion logging, and full documentation to strengthen SLA compliance, trust, and operational transparency across diverse hardware portfolios.

Each capability addresses the electro-mechanical challenges shaping the future: heavier racks, dynamic layouts, and accelerating demand for robotics-assisted deployment in GPU and AI-cluster architectures. Grenzebach converts these challenges into efficient, reliable, and future-ready operations that reduce downtime and speeds up installation cycles.

  • Rack Mover

    Moves heavy IT racks autonomously from dock to final location—lifting, transporting, and positioning with repeatable precision. Navigates narrow aisles, adapts to evolving layouts, supports ORV2, ORV3, ORW, and liquid-cooled designs, and handles L11 furnished racks for faster deployments and consistent high-throughput staging.



  • Server Handler

    Automates server install and removal in operational layouts. Servers slide into guide rails with precise alignment, interlock nicely without collisions, and can be extracted protecting chassis, connectors, or cooling structures—facilitating maintenance windows and reducing fatigue-prone manual work.



  • Disk Handler

    Delivers large-scale HDD/SSD/NVMe replacement. ESD-safe containers, sub-millimeter placement, and end-to-end traceability keep workflows tight—even in higher-temperature storage zones—boosting throughput and securing track and trace in densily furnished racks.

Automation of Critical Workflows

Robotics systems streamline repetitive and physically demanding workflows such as rack handling, equipment transport, and inventory processes. They reduce strain on teams, enhance ergonomics, and mitigate the risks associated with the manual movement of heavy IT equipment. By delivering consistent, repeatable operations, robotics minimize human errors and accelerate daily processes.

With 24/7 operational reliability, our systems support continuous uptime and fast response even when staffing is limited and in remote locations. As data-center footprints expand, robotics scales seamlessly and strengthens facility-wide resilience for the next generation of infrastructure.

Choose Your Automation Mode

Hyperscalers often use fully autonomous fleets, while colocation facilities combine human expertise with guided or semi-automated workflows. Our Manual Mode, Semi-Automatic Mode and Fully Automatic Mode allow to scale automation at their own pace while maintaining control and safety.

The Rack Mover, Server Handler and Disk Handler support all three modes:

  • Manual Mode:

    Supports fast installation, improves ergonomics, and provides safe manual operation.

  • Semi-Automatic Mode:

    Reduces effort, accelerates routine processes, and enhances consistency across teams, while increasing efficiency by taking over more complex workflows.

  • Fully Automatic Mode:

    Automates lift-and-shift activity, minimizes manual labor, and maximizes uptime in large-scale environments, allows 24/7 operation.

Grenzebach Enables Hyperscale Operations

  • From the Loading Bay to the Docking Bay and Into the Data Hall

    We automate movement from the first touchpoint of the rack furnisher to the final placement within the layout. Whether lifting, aligning, or handling components, our systems provide controlled, seamless motion across aisles and data halls.

  • Faster Installation, Faster Revenue

    Each hour gained accelerates go-live dates. Automated deployment shortens installation windows, mitigates bottlenecks, and supports ambitious build-out schedules.

  • Future-Ready Orientation

    We design solutions for existing and upcoming rack technologies including ORV2, ORV3, HPR, GPU towers, AI-cluster computing formats, and liquid-cooled and future immersion-cooled architectures to keep facilities ready for emerging infrastructure demands.

  • Built for the Long Run

    U.S. and EU regulatory compliance, functional-safety certifications, robust engineering, and global service structures enable operational reliability over decades.

  • Long-Term Hyperscaler Alignment

    Through licensing, specification access, and technical partnerships, we work alongside evolving hyperscale standards—helping shape the ecosystem rather than reacting to it.

Ahead of the Peer Group: Real-World References

Our systems operate in high-density data centers from the U.S. to major hubs across Europe and Asia. We set the standard by aligning with OCP principles and anticipating future mechanical and operational requirements. The next generation of rack movement and disk handling is already aligned with our product roadmap.

Flexible Handling for Mixed and Legacy Environments

Not every data center runs standardized fleets. Mixed vendors, multi-generation racks, evolving layouts, and AI-cluster zoning require adaptability. Our robotics performs reliably across server types, storage formats, aisle geometries, and thermal constraints.
