The lift was built completely out of LEGO Technic. Both terminals are equipped with independent Power Functions motors to propel the chairs along the rail, another Power functions motor was used to power the drive bullwheel. All motors are Medium-sized ones and are powerful enough to drive their assigned structures. A Mindstorms NXT with a reflected light sensor was used to sense the approaching chairs and open the load gates.
If you think the chairs look remarkably similar to the ones we used in a previous video, you're right, because we essentially only changed the grips and the safety bars :-)
