In the field of construction automation, significant research efforts continue to focus on replacing human labor; however, the varied and dynamic nature of construction sites still requires human intervention. The high task intensity in construction sites, particularly in lifting heavy materials, frequently results in musculoskeletal disorders among workers. To address this issue, this paper proposes a lifting device to replace manual material transportation through an opening between floors. The lift is designed with a gear-constrained double parallelogram mechanism to enable straight vertical movement. Moreover, a crank-rocker mechanism is incorporated to improve efficiency in repetitive tasks, reduce the required driving torque, and simplify control complexity. Additionally, this study introduces a passive gravity compensation mechanism that employs springs and cables, tailored to the lifting process, to enhance payload capacity and stabilize actuation. Through the integration of these mechanisms, the necessary motor capacity and control costs are significantly reduced. The effectiveness of the device is validated by actuation experiments with a fabricated prototype.
