Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9919244A1] The inventive rack hoist has a vertical mast (1) and a platform (3) which can travel along said mast. The platform (3) carries an electromotor which drives a cog, said cog engaging with the rack of the mast (1). The electromotor (6) is controlled by a control device (8) which is carried by the platform (3) and which is configured for both a transportation platform operating mode and a building hoist operating mode, the travelling speed of the platform being greater in the building hoist operating mode than in the transportation platform operating mode. The control device (8) can be switched between these two operating modes by means of a switching device (12) carried by the platform (3). This provides the option of using the hoist as a building hoist or as a transportation platform without introducing construction modification difficulties or safety concerns.
