330, when they used lifts, used Al C-channel. We'd weld two pieces into an I-beam if we needed extra height over what we could get out of our base pair of sections, and then put the I-beam in between the C-channels. The bottom ends would be fastened together (we used a 2-tower system); the tops would be fastened on the lower side. Each piece had a delrin roller at top or bottom, 2 rollers to a sliding pair. The cabling was steel cable, properly crimped at the ends, cascading run, IIRC. Oh, and we had a gravity cable to make sure the lift came down. 2 FPs through stock gearboxes and a winch drum.
