Again: a lift consumes _energy_. If you want to express how much energy it consumes per unit of time (eg, in one hour), you're measuring _power_. Watts (and Kilowatts, and horsepower) are a already units of power, and so “KW/h” doesn't make sense, afaict.

An analogy:

A person running a race covers distance, (ie, _length_; unit: metre). If you want to express how much distance it covers per unit of time (eg, in one hour), you're measuring _speed_. For that you would use use m/s, Km/h, knots, or some other unit of speed. But it would make no sense to say that someone runs at such-and-such “knots/h”, or that it runs such-and-such “m/s in an hour”.
