It’s likely that one of the most compelling reasons for purchasing your lakeside home was the view it provided to both a beautiful waterfront and awe-inspiring natural surroundings. The dream of hillside living can unfortunately present a few drawbacks however; the most challenging of which is often being able to fully enjoy your land and lakefront due to difficult-to-navigate terrain. Steep slopes and woodland landscapes can make ease of access to your waterfront extremely challenging.
If you’ve found that treacherous terrain or high-pitched hills have restricted your full enjoyment of your property, it may be time to consider installing a residential tram system. Tram systems provide a safe, reliable method of transporting you and your family between your main property and boat launch and are much more practical and durable than other methods.
If you’ve been thinking of installing an inclined tram system at your hillside property for a while or if you are just starting to consider the option, here are some aspects to keep in mind.
The Best Tram Systems are Customizable. When it comes to residential tram systems, one size definitely does not fit all. Certain types of climates and terrains require specific building materials in order to protect against corrosion and breakage. You’ll want to do your homework and make sure that the system you invest in provides for variety in size, materials, design and structure so that you can rest assured you’re getting the very best system for you and your property. At Hill Hiker, Inc. we pride ourselves in offering the most customizable tram and inclined elevator systems in the industry so you’ll know that your Hill Hiker® system is designed specifically for your property.
The Best Tram Systems Put Safety First. When it comes to entertaining in your home, you want your family and friends to be able to fully enjoy your bucolic property and feel completely safe in doing so. A tram system that transports them safely between your waterfront space and main property is crucial to that experience. At Hill Hiker, Inc. we insist on the highest level of safety always meeting or exceeding the ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators on all of our tram and inclined elevator systems. We offer full ADA compliant systems and always make certain that we build you a lift where safety is the first priority.
The Best Tram Systems are Fully Engineered. Twenty-plus years in the inclined elevator and tram business has taught us that every property is different, therefore, every system needs to be equally unique. Gone are the days of the “one size fits all” tram systems. At Hill Hiker, Inc. we strive to design and engineer each residential system to fit the vision of every customer and meet the unique challenges of each property. We work hard to construct systems that work with the surrounding landscape and incorporate the beauty of your property into the design rather than competing against it, while still being engineered for strength and longevity. Our team works closely with each client to find the right solution for you. Compare our systems to any competitor and you will notice our superior level of quality, aesthetics and attention to detail.
