The owners of this cottage were losing their connection with the waterfront. It was a challenging lift to build because the track had to be high off the ground, right from the deck to to the dock.

With this island lift, we found an optimal route for the lift but  while the top station was easy to locate and build, the lower end was tightly constrained and the lift would have to be close to the ground. 

The owner of this lift wanted to keep it as hidden as possible from the cottage and the lake. We found a discrete run but it was steep and extremely tight at the bottom end. Nevertheless, the car fits beautifully into the landing with minimal room to spare around it.

This 1-person lift bypasses 25 beautiful but treacherous stone steps that were often wet and no longer safe.

This was the first lift we built with a really tight landing area.It turns out, with a little high school math, there’s a really simple way to set the track to make car kand in stations like this.
