Yes, a building hoist can be used both indoors and outdoors for construction work. These hoists are versatile and designed to facilitate the movement of materials and personnel in multi-story buildings. Outdoors, they are often used during the construction of high-rise buildings, while indoors, they can be used for the vertical transportation of materials in large structures like shopping malls or office buildings. It's important to ensure that the hoist is suitable for the specific conditions, such as weather resistance for outdoor use, and that safety protocols are strictly followed to prevent accidents.
