vertical hoist or lower
una elevación o una bajada vertical


Explanation:
Te están diciendo simplemente que en esa situación la carga debe moverse solamente en la dirección vertical, no horizontal. O sea, que debe elevarse o bajarse (to lower, bajar) sin que haya giro en la grúa. La confusión te la causa que "lower" está sustantivado. Podrían haberlo puesto como "lowering".
