For one of the major data center construction projects in Finland, approximately 250 lifting platforms were used, 60 of which were Leonardo HD. The premises consisted of a total of 6 halls, with 60 aisles per hall of approximately 200-300 m (680-980 ft) in length. Scissor lifts were used to install the racks, but once the servers were positioned, the aisles became too narrow to accommodate this equipment. This is where Leonardo HD came in.

Leonardo HD proved to be particularly useful during the last stages of servers’ installation and final connections, as no other platform could be safely moved in such limited spaces. Despite the high risk of costly damage to the servers, the Leonardo HD was the preferred solution even over push-arounds, mainly due to its standard front casters locking system, combined with its ultra-compact dimensions and zero turning radius. To ensure maximum operational efficiency and further reduce the risk of equipment damage in the most specific areas, the driving speed was reduced through a change of settings on the controller.
