A Material cum Passenger Hoist is a type of hoist that is used to transport both material and passengers to different levels of a building during construction. It consists of a steel tower, a cage or cabin that serves as a passenger compartment, and a load carrying platform. The hoist runs on electric power and is controlled by an operator on the ground.
The hoist is a safer and faster alternative to using scaffolding and ladders for workers and materials to reach higher levels of a building. The cabin or cage is equipped with safety features like handrails, emergency brakes, and interlocks to ensure the safety of passengers.
# It is important to note that only trained and certified personnel should operate the hoist, and all safety guidelines should be followed to prevent accidents.
