Double acting telescoping hoists are coupled by a common fluid control system for raising and lowering a platform connected to the hoists. The hoists have expansion and retraction chambers for inwardly and outwardly telescoping the hoists with the areas on which fluid acts being greater in the expansion chambers than in the retraction chambers. The force created by fluid in the retraction chambers causes each hoist to experience substantially the same load thereby enabling them to expand at substantially the same rate. In one embodiment non-concentric shaped spacers separate the telescoping units of the hoists to prevent their rotation.
