Popular Residential Elevator System
Our most popular model is the 900 lb. residential capacity system. We use a drum drive unit for hill lengths 160 feet or less, and a traction drive model for hill lengths over 160 feet in length. Both power incline lift unit models are specifically designed to make your home lift system the most efficient in its application. Our trained and certified crews use galvanized pin pilings to install the installation, creating a minimal footprint on your hillside. These pin pile footings are driven down approximately 7-10 feet or more until the necessary resistance is obtained. There is no heavy equipment or concrete used. This residential model is 46″ in width, so we require a 5-foot path down your hillside to allow the tram to travel up and down safely. Our 34″ door opening is ADA compliant. You also have your choice of a right, left, or double-door exit powder-coated in your choice of color.
Our outdoor elevator systems meet or exceed all National Elevator Code requirements as well as State specific regulations. In addition, all incline lift models come with a 20-year warranty on all structural components, five years for non-structural components (gearbox, motor, brakes), and 2 years for cables, electrical parts, and components. See warranty statement for complete details.
