I used the phrases from various sources. For example,
"There are many mines using a shaft for persons, materials and equipment transport."

Shaft - A primary vertical or non-vertical opening through mine strata used for ventilation or drainage and/or for hoisting of personnel or materials; connects the surface with underground workings.

neutral  A.G.: a dlaczego nie to: ...cage (ludzie) and skip (urobek) compartments/shafts.?

  -> I thought the question addressed the "shaft" and its purpose, not the means (cage) or product (skip). I am not sure that material and skip are the same thing. I read it to mean "building material." But thank you for teaching me a few things, A. G.
