    Which characteristics of the elevator are important? The shape? The size? What is the source of your picture? Many scenes only exist in the mind of who drew them.

  • I assume this type of elevator is called something in your native language. Have you tried using a bilingual dictionary?

Your picture is a bit ambiguous, depending on the property you want to express.

  • If you mean a lift that is intended to transport goods (as opposed to passengers), you see a cargo/freight lift or elevator.

  • If you are focused on the fact that the lift works by pulling/pushing the platform or cabin along a slope (and not hanging freely on a wire or rope), you have an inclined lift.

And of course you can combine both purpose and technical method and get, for example, an inclined freight lift.
