About Us
Marine Innovations is the inclined elevator leader. We’re proud to be family-owned and operated and based in the United States, with the experience and resources that 30 years as a leader in the industry provides. We will tackle any project you can throw at us, transporting your family, guests, or customers safely from point A to point B. Our trams are built to withstand continual use in the most extreme temperatures, from sub-zero Alaskan winters to tropical Costa Rican summers.
Referred to as hillside elevators, hillside trams, lake trams, hill trams or funiculars, our state-of-the-art inclined elevator systems open up all sorts of new and exciting possibilities for your hillside/waterfront property, whether commercial or residential. They can be installed almost anywhere, are easy to operate and deliver a safe, smooth ride every time. We have yet to meet a hill we cannot conquer!
We have over three decades of experience installing and maintaining the best inclined elevators in the industry. We use them to transport our own families almost daily, so you can bet we build them with safety in mind. We engineer and manufacture our own products, meaning they must meet our superior standards or they will not be installed.
Residential Systems
While stairs offer a solution, they do not make hauling belongings or escorting children or physically challenged friends and relatives very efficient. Our inclined elevators are fully code compliant and designed with industrial components that deliver the strongest structure on the market today to safely, efficiently transport your precious cargo. We want you to feel safe and secure with your lakeside tram system, so our full-time staff is available to offer phone support, annual inspections and maintenance service when you need it. We’re just a phone call away.
Our inclined elevators are engineered with our proprietary pin pile design, creating a small footprint which makes minimal impact on your hillside. This opens up endless architectural and landscaping options in new-home construction or can be adapted to your existing architecture, adding tremendous value to your property.
Commercial Systems
A Marine Innovations inclined elevator delivers strength. Starting with a solid foundation of our proprietary pin piles or footings and ending with our industry-leading warranty, nothing else even compares. Look at the construction and features. Talk with our past customers. A Marine Innovations lift is really the only choice.
All of our commercial hillside elevators are engineered and built by us in our own facility, in order to meet our exacting standards. These custom design capabilities make our trams completely adaptable to hundreds of applications. They can be built to accommodate water fluctuation, weather conditions, aesthetic requirements, wheelchair accessibility, or whatever else your project dictates. Plus, our engineered pin pile installation process creates unsurpassed strength with minimal environmental impact, allowing for soil anchoring and vegetation growth, so your property retains its natural feel.
