InclinedElevation Inc. is staffed by experienced lift builders who, collectively, have almost 100 installations to their credit. Since 2004 we have made the vast majority of all the innovations in lift design and installation procedures and we continue to set the industry standards in Canada.

John Weinstein is the Owner/Contractor and takes a hands-on role in all aspects of designing, manufacturing and installing every inclined elevator.

He has a doctorate in particle physics and practical experience as a research physicist, a university Professor (including teaching engineering students engineering), a construction site supervisor, and a machine shop foreman before becoming a builder of inclined elevators.

John works with our teams of suppliers; tapping into their expertise vastly increases the knowledge base of our company and, as we incorporate new technology and strategies in our products to build better, strongers, safer, and more useful lifts, they help keep Inclined Elevation defining the cutting edge of Inclined Elevator technology.

In his sales role, John also works with each client to find the best on-site location and to provide a clear picture of how the completed lift will appear. He also supervises the fabrication and installation teams to ensure that every lift we build meets our standards and our clients' needs.

Frank Legere fabricates the track, cars, and other components in his Bracebridge shop. Frank has been a welder and metal worker for many years and has been involved with the manufacture and installation of over 30 lifts. Frank has played major roles in bringing many innovations to our lifts including the development of the governor-based overspeed braking system in 2005.

Tom Townsend finishes the cars, carefully cutting, sanding, finishing and mounting the wood onto the bare frame. Each car has about a 1000 individual components and Tom's commitment to excellence is evident in each project.

Gary Matthias is our field welder/installer. Gary has experience building over 50 lifts and brings that depth of knowledge to the team.

Frank Scheyk has recently joined the team. Frank is a millwright who brings almost twenty years experience in the field and many advanced training courses to the team. He's a natural builder with all the skills needed to build quality lifts safely.
