Sometimes innovation quietly blends into the landscape—until it suddenly steals the show. That’s exactly what’s happening with Hill Hiker, Inc.’s inclined elevators.
In recent weeks, two widely-shared online videos have brought our hillside trolley transportation systems into the limelight, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. While we’ve always believed that our custom-built inclined elevators offer something truly special, it’s been exciting to see the internet agree—by the millions.
A Front-Row Seat to Innovation
The first viral moment comes from an Instagram Reel featuring a stunning lakefront home. As the camera glides along with the rider in a Hill Hiker® incline lift, viewers are treated to serene water views, sleek modern architecture, and the seamless ride of our inclined elevator navigating the steep terrain. The reel perfectly captures the purpose behind our work: bringing people closer to the spaces they love—without compromise.
The second, even more in-depth look comes from a YouTube video by popular channel TechKaboom. In the video, the hosts tour a $45 million cliffside mega-home with every imaginable luxury—one of which is a custom Hill Hiker® hill elevator connecting the multi-tiered property. It’s a fantastic example of how our systems serve not only as practical solutions but also as iconic features that elevate the entire experience of a home.
Together, these videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views, sparking curiosity and admiration from viewers around the world.
