What is a Hillside Lift?
It’s just a different way to refer to what we commonly call a funicular, inclined lift or hillside tram. Hill Hiker® systems fall under the National Elevator Safety Code where they are called inclined elevators but many people also use terms like hill lifts, hillside elevators, hill trams or hillside trolleys.
Whatever you call them, Hill Hiker, Inc. specializes solely in the manufacture and installation of these outdoor, hillside, cable-driven elevator / lift systems. Each Hill Hiker ® lift system is custom designed for individual needs and can be installed almost anywhere worldwide.
