How to unlock the That's Why Helicopters Need Elevators achievement in Unmechanical: Extended - Definitive Guide
On your way out (in the room after the adjustable pumps), there's a big box right before the elevator. If you happen to enter the elevator without the box, quit to Menu and re-load the game and you'll be back in the room.
You just need to drag that box onto the elevator and then go up with it. Achievement unlocked.
It's easiest to grab onto the top left corner with your tractor beam, then lean left and swing right and hold the Left Stick to the right. The momentum should be enough to start tipping the box. Repeat until it's on the elevator.
If you get enough momentum on the swing, the box will actually "over tip" and if you're quick enough you can actually just push it, from the left side, for a second rotation and save some time.
This video from "aka Scratch" demonstrates this achievement.

You really should include a level number to reference for players unfamiliar with this game.

It must be said that if for some reason, you end up in the elevator without the box (eg. box is not fully in, door closes and tosses box out of elevator), it will still go up but the achievement will not unlock. It has just happened to me and as there is no level select, the only option is to start a new play through... Make sure the box rolls into the elevator, and stays there, that is all.

This one is near the end of Chapter 5, just after the We're In a Hurry achievement. There's a large metal box just before the elevator that you need to drag onto the elevator with you. Take a running start and grab onto the left corner as you fly to the right, which will allow you to flip it once and if you do it right with enough momentum, a second time. Do this a few times to 'roll' the box onto the elevator. The achievement unlocks midway up the ride.
Check the walkthrough video above at timestamp 0:40:04 for this one.
After Dealing with the pumps you will come to a room with a big box and an elevator. To get the Box on you need to gain momentum and grab the corner of the box, keep doing this until it is on the elevator
This is earned near the end of the game, immediately after the trophy:
You'll enter a room with a large box, and an elevator ahead. You need to roll the box into the elevator (Before getting in yourself). Just take a flying start, grab the box by the top left corner and pull. You should be able to get two rolls per pass. Once the box and yourself are inside, the doors will close, and the trophy will pop as the elevator goes up.
The We Are in a Hurry trophy in Unmechanical: Extended worth 28 pointsPass the adjustable pumps without adjusting the pumps.
