This piece of equipment is highly efficient, allowing a unit to carry large amounts of cargo (or even entire mechs or combat vehicles) with only a modest reduction in speed. However, any cargo being carried in a lift hoist also counts as being held externally, which is not ideal in any situation where combat might occur. Furthermore the hoists themselves are rather expensive, which means that they are not necessarily always the best option for a basic cargo vehicle. + '''Lift Hoists''' allows [['Mech]]s, [[Support Vehicle]]s, and other vehicle types to handle cargo via a lifting mechanism.
