box lift(er)
Explanation:
Box lift(er)
We are talking about a lift for boxes- see first link in Danish with photos of the contraption, and the second link for a video in English with the same model.
More correct would have been the Danish word "kasseløfter" (box lifter), but in Danish "løft" is also used in the same way as "lift" in English (but has more meanings).

caisson lift


Explanation:
Difficult to say without more context, but could kasse be an abbreviation for "sænkekasse", i.e. a caisson?
