What is the difference between electric and hydraulic building hoist?

Electric building hoists are powered by electricity and use electric motors to lift and lower loads. They are generally quieter, require less maintenance, and can be more energy-efficient. Hydraulic building hoists, on the other hand, use hydraulic pressure to move loads. They tend to be more powerful and can lift heavier loads, but they may require more maintenance and are not as energy-efficient. Electric hoists are often preferred for lighter loads and indoor use, while hydraulic hoists are chosen for heavy-duty applications and outdoor use where power is not readily available.
