Before this couple bought their retirement cottage they had one make or break question for us, "Could we install an inclined elevator on the property?"
We found a really sweet run which offers a direct ride between the main deck and the dock. The upper gate is about 7' off the ground so we interlocked for safety. At the lower end the car stops about 10" off the dock.
Because the track was almost on the ground for all but the upper 15' feet we designed the lift with the motor, winch, and panel at the top end. We had to use every inch to fit the lift into a space with many constraints including having the car door in the top station fit within the span of the main deck.
"With the lift the dock is another room at the cottage."

A pretty picture of the lower station. We were able to leave the vast majority of the dock free and brought the floor of the car low enough that it is a single step to get to the the dock. |
