The Grenzebach DCS Rack Mover keeps data centers running by automating the lifting, transport, and installation of existing and next-generation rack systems. Designed for robotics-first intralogistics, it supports high-density data center environments and adapts to evolving layouts and rack standards.
Rack Mover
Autonomous Rack Handling for Modern Data Centers
Even if data doesn’t weigh much, the hardware behind it does. Server racks, GPU clusters, AI clusters, and liquid-cooled systems concentrate immense computing power in a single rack frame. As power delivery, cooling architectures, and density increase, rack weight grows far beyond what teams can manage manually—some rack designs without caster wheels to be shifted. The Rack Mover, engineered and manufactured by Grenzebach Data Center Solutions, is built for this reality. It autonomously lifts, depalletizes, transfers, and installs next-generation rack systems with precision and safety, enabling robotics-first intralogistics across hyperscaler and colocation environments.
The Server Rack Mover supports manual, semi-automatic, and fully autonomous operation to match diverse deployment models while ensuring smooth, guided docking from the loading bay into the cold aisle for consistent alignment. Fully equipped to transport loaded racks with minimal vibration or tilt, the system leverages intelligent sensors and advanced path-planning to navigate confined aisles reliably, including high-density AI-cluster layouts. By lowering physical strain, accelerating repositioning tasks, and sustaining continuous 24/7 activity, it reinforces uptime from the initial pickup to final placement.
The Rack Mover That Keeps Your Data Center Moving
We support modern data center operations with intelligent, autonomous mobile robotics that take over the heavy, high-precision tasks that facilities can no longer manage manually. The Server Rack Mover lifts, shifts, and positions fully loaded racks, compensates dynamic load distribution, and navigates confined aisles with repeatable accuracy—even during live operation. Its guided alignment also supports precise docking routines that strengthen consistency across different deployment environments.
To focus on full ecosystem fit, the system supports factory-integrated L11 furnished racks, accommodates mixed rack geometries—including high-power and AI-cluster configurations—and operates safely data center infrastructure, all the way to the cold aisle without disrupting airflow or containment boundaries. Intelligent navigation and stable rack transport minimize vibration and tilt, ensuring controlled movement even in narrow aisle configurations. Every motion is predictable, traceable and engineered to maintain operational continuity from staging to deployment workflows and support intelligent asset management across life cycles.
This is how data centers accelerate buildouts, protect their teams and assets, and maintain continuous uptime.
