I want to simulate a scenario where in a part is lifted using a hoist and moved to different machines. While the part is on hoist the operator pushes the hoist (as shown in image).
Operator and Hoist move together

Using a Crane as the Hoist you could use "Travel" tasks in a Process Flow to have the Operator walk alongside the hoisted part.
In the attached example i created a simple Process Flow that has an Operator walk alongside the hoist. The relevant speeds and delays would need to be adjusted according to your needs. I included two "Custom Code" activities as examples of how you might adjust the traveling speeds using the Process Flow.
