A material construction hoist may be used to transport:

In the context of elevating devices, a material construction hoist is specifically designed for the transport of materials used in construction. These hoists are typically equipped to handle heavy loads of bricks, tools, and other building materials. They are not intended for the transportation of persons. The safety regulations and operational guidelines for such equipment prohibit the transport of people to prevent accidents and ensure a safe working environment.

While some equipment may be used to transport both materials and people, the classification of a material construction hoist is distinct in that its primary function is limited to material movement. This ensures the hoist's design, safety features, and capacity are optimized for carrying loads rather than individuals.
