What are Hillavators / Hillevators?
Hillevators, hillavators or hillovator trams, elevators or funiculars are all really just different spellings and ways to refer to the same thing. What we traditionally call an inclined tram or hillside lift. Hill Hiker® systems fall under the National Elevator Safety Code where they are technically called inclined elevators but many people also use terms like outdoor elevator, hillside trolley or hill tram.
Whatever you call them, Hill Hiker, Inc. specializes solely in the manufacture and installation of these outdoor inclined cable driven elevator systems. Each Hill Hiker ® lift system is custom designed for your individual needs and can be installed almost anywhere worldwide.
