We're using a 6' central Acme Lead screw with an anti-backlash flange nut to move our "elevator" up and down. Powered by a CIM motor via AM 90degree transmission. Works great. Fast, robust, no chains or cable to glop up during matches. Please don't ask for CADs, we don't have that capability on our team. We use Mark 2 eyeball fabrication methods, a good metal ruler and lots of patience. Some of us aren't as blessed as others. No whine...y'all remember that when you're walking down pit row being snarky about PVC, plywood, angle iron teams.
