The first step is to use the Blade of Chaos weapon and pull the lever below the lift. This will bring the lift down. Then go right and roll the wheel backward to bring down another platform. This will let you cross this section and you will reach a gate locked with red wooden planks. There is a red container that can explode breaking the gate and allowing you to pass to the left section of the rig. Refer to both the game screenshots above.
