hoist said materials
Explanation:
...as well as assistance to hoist said materials.
...as well as assistance whilst said materials are being hoisted.

What is a materials hoist?
A hoist is a device used to lift or move material. The lifting force is provided by a drum (or wheel) on which wraps a rope (wire or fibre) or a chain.

There are different types of hoists – Electro-hydraulic, manual or lever operated, base mounted, or pendant cranes. These hoists are different in the way they move, but the precautions that should be taken when working with them are similar.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the hoist you are using.

It can be operated by hand, is driven electrically or pneumatically, and the chain or wire rope fibers are used as lifting device. The load connected to the lifting means of a lifting hook

If you hoist something heavy somewhere, you lift it or pull it up there.

'Lifting' occurred to me later but I didn't include it in my answer because I saw that AllegroTrans had already suggested it. I didn't want anyone to accuse me of copying. Glad to have helped! Thanks for the points, Robert :-)
