1. A modular information technology component (MITC), comprising:
a floor, wherein the floor comprises a first floor plate (FP) and a second FP, wherein the first FP and the second FP are oriented in a first plane; and
a first hydraulic pump (HP) and a second HP, wherein the first HP is located underneath the first FP, wherein the second HP is located underneath the second FP, wherein the first HP and the second HP are deactivated,
wherein, when an information handling system (IHS) is loaded on the second FP, the second FP becomes oriented in a second plane, wherein the second plane is lower than the first plane, and
wherein, when the second FP becomes oriented in the second plane, the second HP is activated to raise the second FP to the first plane.
