Encoders for Equalizing Motor Speeds

Hello all. I've read around a bit about encoders, but I haven't seen any advice on how to use them to equalize two motors' speeds. I have a lift powered by two motors. I'd like them to lower and raise at the same rate. However, they are slightly different, and manage to get very off from each other after a few runs.

Can I use encoders to solve this problem? If so, how?
