As it rises, notice the salvage crate behind the fence at the back of the elevator shaft. This is where you're headed next, but you need to go around behind to get there. So go back down the stairs to the landing below.

Jump from there to grab the ledge with the salvage crate. Pull up and crack it open.

Then use your axe to pry off the second gear, which is accessible through the square hole in the fence surrounding the elevator shaft.

When you burn it with a fire arrow, the crate falls onto the beam below. To get it down, move underneath the beam...

...and turn around to face the console. Shoot the crate with the shotgun to knock it to the floor so you can open the crate.

Then use the shogtun once more to shoot out the plank-and-barbed-wire barrier inside the elevator shaft. Notice the climbing wall beyond the opening you just made. That's where you're headed next.
