• Our new Lift Control System, developed in partnership with Schneider Electric and Nedco, replaces a limited function hardwired control circuit with a much more capable Programmable Logic Relay. It
  
• lets you turn the lift ON or OFF from any button box or remote control using only the ON, OFF and STOP buttons - there are no keys to lose or hide, it's tamperproof, and you can choose and change the ON and OFF codes
• integrated with our TopDraw suspension system (see below), allows you to return to the top station with 100% safety if an obstruction on the track stops the car on the way down
  
• uses factory sealed 100% weatherproof proximity switches that are rated for 10 million cycles, giving you all season trouble free operation year after year after year
• can be fitted with a modem for remote diagnoses of every electrical component and for firmware upgades
• records & displays total elapsed time of operation
  
• increases the capacity, flexibility, and reliability of the lift control system which it replaces, we have doubled our warranty on the electrical control system to 2 years
• Our "TopDraw" integrated suspension cable attachment / slack cable braking system pulls the car dolly from the upper end rather than pushing it up from the lower end and
  
  • gives you a smoother, safer and inherently stable ride
  • reduces potential for wear on the wheel flanges
  • turns our slack cable brake trigger mechanism into a fast acting binary trigger with no grey zones
  • uses springs to assist brake trigger action
    
  • cannot pinch the suspension cable if the brakes trigger
  • allows our new Lift Control System (see above) to return you to the top station with 100% safety in the event of an emergency brake tripping
  • renders the old "pull from the bottom" suspension with its' slow acting analogue slack cable braking system seem primative and obsolete by comparison
    
• We've developed, tested, and installed three integrated access gate systems that
  • lock the access gate unless the car is in the station
  • prevent the car from moving unless the access gate is closed
  • close the access gate automatically
  • are a highly desirable and inexpensive option where ever a station is a significant distance off the ground
  • can be retrofitted to an existing lift
    
• We are developing, testing, and installing two fully automatic integrated access gate systems that will
  • lock the access gate unless the car is in the station
  • prevent the car from moving unless the access gate is closed
  • automatically close the access gate before the car leaves the station and open it after the car enters the station
  • are a highly desirable option where ever a station is a significant distance off the ground and the fully automatic feature is required
    
  • can be retrofitted to an existing lift
    
• We've introduced a new 1-person cantilevered car design with a huge area for carrying cargo
• We've introduced a new wood design for our 4-person car with "Muskoka chair" seat backs
• We've developed, tested, and installed self-closing automatically locking saloon style car doors that are automatically locked shut outside the station and automatically unlocked inside the station
• We install ice scrapers that will clear ice from the track to increase brake response during winter operations as standard equipment
• Our standard "Dolly flanges" deliver a higher level of safety by providing a second, independent,  fail-safe integration of the car dolly into the track
• Our new Lift Control System lets us install intermediate stations with no need for an additional expensive PLC control system, and gives you additional design flexibility

• We only use top-of-the-line electrical and mechanical components
• Our major electrical components are manufactured by Benshaw Controls and Schneider Electric
• Our CSA approved panels are built by Orser Technical Services
• Our industrial quality all-weather brake-motors and gear reducers are supplied by Nord Gear
• Our on-car mechanical overspeed braking system use Bode Components elevator governors built in Germany
• Our rider wheels add to the stabilty by keeping the car centered on the track
• Passenger seats in our 4-person cars fold up to stay drier and increase cargo volume
• Red cedar seats, floors, walls, and top rails on passenger cars are held in place with stainless steel fasteners
• Welded construction using only solid element structural steel
• Legs are anchor bolted and grouted into bedrock wherever possible
• Track exceeds CSA standards for strength (as measured by deflection under load)
• Cars run at a comfortable 50 to 60 feet per minute
• The car wheels run inside a 3' channel which prohibits the car from leaving the track and allows winter time operation
• Warranties:
  • 5-years on track
  • 2-years on motor, gearbox
  • 2-years on our new Lift Control System

Standard Capacities*:

• 4-passenger - 750 lbs
• 1-passenger - 250 lbs
• cargo only - 200 lbs

• Wireless remote control that allow you to stop, restart, and reverse the direction of your passenger lift and, with our new Lift Control System (see above) you can also use it turn the lift on and off
• Woods other than red cedar on the car
• Wood colored to match your cottage
• See-through Polycarbonate car walls
• Car walls built to blend in with existing railings
• 42" high car walls
• A "construction car" for transporting men and materials up and down the hillside during the construction phase; when construction is complete we will remove that car and install a 4-person car
• Emergency back-up generators
• DC battery power and off-the-grid solar recharging systems
• An emergency manual handbrake
• Soft stop-start drive systems
• Stairs running alongside the track
• Annual Maintenance and Inspection plans to keep your lift in perfect condition.

• Inclined Elevators have a smaller physical footprint than stairs so they have a smaller environmental impact
• Inclined Elevators blend with the forest so they have a smaller visual impact than stairs
• Our Inclined Elevators can be turned ON or OFF with no physical key from any station or with the remote control
• Inclined Elevators offer a level of safety and security that stairs cannot offer
• When stairs become difficult or impossible to negotiate an Inclined Elevator can make it possible for everyone in the family to keep using all areas of your property
• An Inclined Elevator can make a waterfront property without water access a potential site for a home or cottage with a spectacular view, privacy, peace, easy waterfront access, and security for less than the cost of a water level property
• Used as a construction vehicle, an Inclined Elevator can make the construction of a home, cottage or boathouse less time consuming, costly and dangerous;  the lift might even pay for itself
• InclinedElevation are the experts at integrating your lift into existing decks and landscapes
