German term or phrase: Hubausführung

Context:

"Hubausführung: elektrisch"

This is about a piece of equipment used to carry composite parts into an autoclave, something like this: http://www.premium-aerotec.com/Binaries/Binary3976/_DSC8645l...
http://www.engineerdir.com/press/catalog/4232/
or http://www.sfa-eng.co.uk/autoclaves.html

I'm not really sure that Hubausführung is the right word, perhaps it should actually read Hubantrieb, or something like that?

Elevation

Explanation:
Could it refer to lifting system of this equipment?
Something along the lines of "Lifting: electrical", maybe pointing out that it is electrically powered (like from a catenary line).

I meant to answer "elevation" at first, but then switched to "lifting" but forgot to change it in the "Answer" text box.
