Why each option
When moving heavy servers, using proper lifting techniques is the most important personal safety measure to prevent musculoskeletal injury.
A forklift is a specialized vehicle for moving very heavy pallet loads in warehouse environments and is not an appropriate or available tool for moving individual servers within a storage room.
Using the buddy system involves working with a partner and is a general safety practice, but it does not specifically address the correct physical mechanics for safely lifting and carrying heavy equipment.
Proper lifting techniques - bending at the knees, keeping the back straight, and lifting with the leg muscles rather than the back - directly prevent back strain and muscle injuries that are the primary personal safety risk when manually moving heavy server hardware.
Adhering to proper weight limitations is a guideline for determining what should be lifted, but it is not itself a physical safety technique that prevents injury during the lifting action.
