The 3 Gorges dam boat lift is now operational. It can lift ships up to 3,000 tons up by 113 meters.
There are freight elevators capable of lifting army tanks. One such was used during WWII in Kansas City. It’s still in operation.
Fujitec claims that its 120-passenger lifts at Dubai International Airport are “the world’s largest passenger capacity observation elevator model”. The airport media gallery has some photos.
Goods lifts/freight elevators can be much larger than passenger lifts, though probably less accessible to the travelling public. For example, there are two at Barclays Center in Brooklyn that you can drive a bus in to.
If you don’t mind floating on a boat, I guess the largest lift would be the Strépy-Thieu boat lift. Using it costs 5.50 one way on one of their tourist boats.

Normally it is measured in the number of passengers that an elevator can carry.
There is a 80 passenger elevator installed in Japan.
