If you need to determine which solution is suitable in one case or another, it makes sense to contact specialists involved in the design of equipment. To mount a cargo elevator, it is necessary to have a mine. The counterweight moves inside this mine. Some decisions of foreign companies allow you to do without mines. But the speed of movement of such elevators is quite low. In addition, you need to take the complexity of the design as a whole, as well as its cost. It is not always possible to make a comparison in favor of the elevator.
