Post Horizontal Cranes
I have another wonderful idea and proposition. As we all know we have elevators (thanks to Sim_Doc). But i was just wondering if anyone could make a crane that delivered soldiers vertically.
e.g. over a deep gorge.
So if anyone who is just as enthused about something that could make base life easier please make it, cause I just don't have the time these days. :P

Edit:I'll upload a pic when possible.How do I upload photos? :-(
p.s. pic has been updated sorry if I miss guided anyone with last picture.

If it's enclosed with a tunnel anyways, why bother? [unless it were really fast]

If it went along a no-collision cable, though, that could be handy, especially if it didn't have to be straight horizontal, but could automatically work between two points.
I may give that a try sometime.

In the meantime, this might serve your purposes.

(you can fiddle with equal opposition to make it a little safer to use)

I see what you're getting at, you want the lift to be combined with this to make a crane-like construction?
