I once collaborated on a hand cranked bicycle lift, used 
between floors in an old building (very tall floors) which 
gave good service for years. Regular bicycle cranks, chain 
drive, sturdy maybe overbuilt safety ratchets inline. Not 
complex and you can gear it as low or high as needed.

Anything more complex or expensive outside would of course 
suffer from the elements if not vandalism.
