The number and types of permits required completely depend on the project location. In some regions, no permits are required at all, and in others, you may need permits from the state level all the way to the city and even neighborhood.
Potential permit types:
– State/City Elevator Permit – for the safety of the elevator, based on ASME A17.1 5.1 or 5.4, pulled by Hill Hiker, inc. or Hill Hiker, Inc. Dealer.

We have successfully installed our inclined elevator systems in some of the strictest places to work across the country including the City of Los Angeles and the State of Michigan. We have the first ever commercial or residential permitted inclined elevators in many States like Wisconsin, Maryland and Georgia. We have worked with organizations like the Smithsonian Institute, TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), PGE (Pacific Gas & Electric), Thyssenkrupp and Louis Dreyfus Company.
Bottom Line: Hill Hiker, Inc. is well versed in these matters and has the experience and knowledge, not to mention the licenses and code compliant product, to get your project through the permit process.
