These cottage owners really needed this lift to utilize the whole cottage and the water, without the lift they were considering selling.

To make the lift fit without cutting into the retaining wall at the end of the driveway and patio we mounted the car over and actually ahead of the dolly. The track missing touching the break-wall by only an inch. Not much work was needed to adapt the existing landing and rail to serve as the upper station platform.

The middle station needed some deck work to make it work.

Because the owners needed to rebuild the dock anyway their contractor, Dan Marymissen, Artisan Construction, removed enough of the old dock to make room for the car to stop at the correct lower station height. After the lift was in he finished the dock to serve as the lower station.

We had to put the motor down the hill, there was no room at the top.
