A rack-mounted information handling system (IHS) includes a rack to mount functional compute components between opposing lateral sides that are being supported by floor supports. A pair of rack lifting structures are each respectively positioned beside a different opposing lateral side of the rack. Each rack lifting structure includes a foot having at least front and rear floor contacting portions. A vertical support includes a lower portion that is coupled to the foot and an upper portion that extends above an adjacent top lateral frame member of the rack. A top member is coupled to the vertical support and presents front and rear attachment components to engage the adjacent top lateral frame member. A jack engagement surface is defined within the vertical support to receive one or more furniture jacks that can be used to lift the pair of rack lifting structures and the attached rack-mounted IHS.
