How does Building Hoist work?

A building hoist, also known as a construction hoist or personnel/material hoist, is a temporary lifting device used in construction projects to transport workers and materials vertically within a building. It typically consists of a tower, a cage, a drive mechanism, and a control system. The tower is attached to the building's structure, and the cage is where people or materials are loaded. The drive mechanism, often powered by an electric motor, raises and lowers the cage along the tower. The control system manages the movement, ensuring safety features like speed control and emergency stops are in place. The hoist operates within a guide rail system, which keeps it aligned as it moves up and down the building's height.
