I0031 Looking Down the Track

We had to precision set this track to save 2 trees and just miss the corner of the porch at the lower end. We mounted the motor at the top because the lift hugged the ground most of the way.

The owners love it:

"I just love it! I have spent more time at the water this year because of the lift than in the past ten years. Whenever I went down all the stairs before I always made sure I was going for several hours because I did not like climbing up and down the stairs. Now with the lift I am able to go back and forth so easily I can go to the water for just a short time if I want. I never went to the water on overcast days because it took me so long to get up the stairs if it started to rain. Now with the lift I know I can be back to the cottage in less than two minutes.

Thank you so much for the lift. It has made such a difference in my enjoyment of the cottage and the waterfront."
I0031 Lower Station

The car fits perfectly inside a very small space at the lower station.

 I0031 Squeezing through trees

There was not a lot of room for error placing this track..

 I0031 Top End

The top station is quite open; we made the platform from a prefabricated dock section the owner already had, but we braced it using the same leg geometry that we use on the track. The motor, winch, and control panel all sit inside the compact housing at the top.
