This is very similar to what I've rented in the past:

except the facing to the equipment had some carpet on it to prevent damage

Once you get it lifted (can you get a skid loader in there?) you could
bolt a rack dolly to the bottom to enable future scootching.
Depending on how top heavy it is.

Yeah, if it is a rack full of batteries or old time rectifiers, might
be best to rig up some kind of pipe thing to lift from the top.
Or just tip it back and forth and jam a piano dolly under it.
You might get away with soap or grease on the floor and scootch it.

Can't you just bolt something to the front/back of the rack and then
raise them with a bottle jack (or big ass car jack)? Might be a
little hard on those two screws would be my only concern.

I used to rent these when I needed to. It was a small hydraulic
jack with a L-shaped bracket that fit between the top of the lift
and bent to the floor. It took two, one for each side of the
machine. You lift the machine off of the floor and then slide a
pallet-jack mover under the machine and move it to where you need
it. Then use the small jacks to get the machine off the
pallet-jack. The bracket is all you need if you have the other
three components handy.

Is there something that can lift up a 2-post rack with
hundreds of pounds of equipment in it?
I have to move a couple of racks for flooring work in a
building. It'd be so easy if I could just lift them up 4 or 5
inches and slip a steel dolly under each one.
