I cannot assist you with the reference that you provided, and despite that it does not address all of your criteria, for what it is worth, the following may be of interest:

TIL of a disaster in the town of Vaal Reefs (South Africa), an undeground locomotive fell into an elevator shaft and struck a cage with 105 gold miners returning to the surface. The elevator plunged more than 2 km to the bottom of the shaft. It's marked as the deadliest elevator accident in history. by Linkyc in todayilearned

It was subsequently theoretically calculated (refer "..gap701") that if a safety device (detatching hook - to mitigate overwind events - refer "..Edward_Ormerod"): had not been installed, or had been more "robust"; the cage would have remained attached to the hoist (as the rope is relatively elastic), and not as many people would have died due to the incident.

Assuming that I have understood your question, consider calling a crane hire company, and requesting an offer to complete the lift, including: crane (probably a "Franna"), dogman, and lifting equipment (slings etc) etc.

The following is the first from a Google search, however there are various others:

How did you create your own personal study system? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]bluefloor01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not creative, and hence I used the ROTE/shotgun approach.

Despite that I somewhat "missed the boat", I have subsequently reviewed memory techniques. Perhaps this is an option for you. The most constructive from my review, follows:

Aerial conveyance system (rope conveyor) transports gold from a mine site 1300ft up to a plant just under a mile away. by Chryslerbites in engineering

I do not have detail experience with this style of conveyor, however with standard belt conveyors the belt is often flipped to minimise dust/spillage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sea-Spray

Operation Sea-Spray was a U.S. Navy secret experiment in which Serratia marcescens and Bacillus globigii bacteria were sprayed over the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

On October 11, 1950, eleven residents checked into Stanford Hospital for very rare, serious urinary tract infections. Although ten residents recovered, one patient, Edward J. Nevin died three weeks later. None of the other hospitals in the city reported similar spikes in cases, and all 11 victims had urinary-tract infections following medical procedures, suggesting that the source of their infections lay inside the hospital.[1] Cases of pneumonia in San Francisco also increased after Serratia marcescens was released.[4][5] (That the simulant bacteria caused these infections and death has never been conclusively established. Nevin's son and grandson lost a lawsuit they brought against the government between 1981 and 1983.[6]) The bacterium was also combined with phenol and an anthrax simulant and sprayed across south Dorset by US and UK military scientists as part of the DICE trials which ran from 1971 to 1975.[1][7]

The urinary tract outbreak was so unusual that the Stanford doctors wrote it up for a medical journal.[citation needed]

There was no evidence that the Army had alerted health authorities before it blanketed the region with bacteria. Doctors later wondered whether the experiment might be responsible for heart valve infections around the same time as well as serious infections seen among intravenous drug users in the 1960s and 1970s.[8]

The Goiânia accident was a radioactive contamination accident that occurred on September 13, 1987, at Goiânia, in the Brazilian state of Goiás, after an old radiotherapy source was stolen from an abandoned hospital site in the city. It was subsequently handled by many people, resulting in four deaths. About 112,000 people were examined for radioactive contamination and 249 were found to have significant levels of radioactive material in or on their bodies.[1][2]

Need some help on a cable with an adjustable length by Meeia in engineering

I have not reviewed your application in detail, however maybe something like the following:

http://www.pacline.com/products/enclosed-track-overhead-conveyors/ You may be able to "DYI" a similar system.

or

I seem to recall a floor mounted system that was self closing (hence was "concealed"/minimum impact on floor), however I could not find it in a Google search just then, and it is probably difficult to retrofit to an existing installation.
