The two parts of a lift that goes down a mine are typically called the hoist and the cage. The hoist is the part that moves the cage up and down, while the cage is the part that holds people and cargo. The hoist is typically powered by an electric motor and uses a system of steel cables and pulleys to raise and lower the cage. The cage and hoist are connected by a system of steel cables and pulleys. The cage is used to transport miners and equipment to and from the mine. The hoist is also equipped with safety features such as emergency stops and load-sensing systems.
