Incline Lift Tram Elevator
Do you live on a hillside property and have trouble getting up and down the hill to your car or boat? Skip the stairs and ride in comfort with an Incline Lift Tram Elevator.
Hillside Lift Stairlift Alternative
If your daily home or vacation property is built on a hill, we have the safest and most comfortable solution for getting family and friends to the top or bottom of the hillside walkway.
The most popular option is to install a stair lift, but those only work for shorter distances, and can only carry one person at a time.
When you need to transport multiple people and groceries or gear, the best alternative is an incline elevator. These go by many names, such as lift trams, hillside lifts, elevator trams, and even funiculars.
An outdoor incline lift tram elevator offers the ultimate accessibility solution for those who live on a hillside property. No need to take the stairs anymore.
Incline Lift for Hillside Accessibility
Whatever you prefer to call them, these transport systems are convenient for both residential and commercial applications, and make daily life effortless while living atop a beautiful hillside property.
We build and install a customized solution to accommodate any property type.
Two standard systems are available – a Drum System is ideal for hills under 160 feet and a Traction Drive System is preferred for hills over 160 feet in length.
We also have entry-level lift trams available in both drum and traction applications that are more affordable, yet offer many of the same features as the standard systems.
All of our incline elevators are manufactured in the United States with quality and safety as our priority. After assessing the property, each unit is custom built specifically for the application and terrain.
