Thank you for posting the detail photos and the prototype. I wonder what the black hose at the side of the prototype is used for. The elevator is a mechanical device but the black hose looks like something works with pressure or vacuum.
Nice little transload track detail simple and effective..

It looks to me to be some sort of dust collector.
