The rail-mounted hoisting platform is not designed for carrying passengers.

        Track-type Elevating Goods LiftThe hydraulic lift platform elevator, also known as a material hoist, is distinctly not to be confused with an elevator and is certainly not designed for human transport. This simple lift lacks safety features such as a guardrail on the platform, a passenger cabin, and all operation buttons are located on each floor, with no controls on the platform.

Therefore, goods hoists are strictly prohibited from carrying people. However, hydraulic goods hoists can fully meet the needs for the up and down transportation of goods. The lifting height of general simple hoists usually remains within 20 meters, as the installation cost of properties increases with the height. Moreover, without safety devices, the safety level decreases as the height of the simple hoist increases.
