Our Product
Contemplating
adding an elevated deck, or installing an in-house stair-lift,
swimming pool or residential elevator?
If so, you're
probably willing to pay a little more [if necessary], and/or
wait a bit longer to make sure your new investment is installed
in a SAFE, reliable, and durable manner.
With few exceptions, you will most likely have to conform
to local building codes and inspections. However, many municipalities
don't regulate a tram product as they do with decks, elevators,
pools etc. Consequently, the installation of inexpensive,
sub-standard tram units is tacitly condoned. For this reason
it is your important responsibility to self-regulate the
purchase and installation of a tram system to insure that
it's as safe as any other value-added (yet
potentially hazardous) addition to your property..
Unlike most of our leading competitors, all Hill
Glider systems are designed, engineered and installed to be compliant
with the highest standard of safety [American Society of
Mechanical Engineers] codes, and meets or exceeds the safety
standards set by the National Elevator Code. This insures
that your self-regulation responsibility can be carried
out with a minimum of effort.
 Most recently, National
and many State regulations/codes have been updated to include
the requirement for an elevator-like emergency safety brake,
one that insures a smooth, soft stop in the case of a cable
break or other malfunction which causes an over-speed condition.
The Lakeside Trams Hill Glider’s emergency braking system
is purposely designed to comply with those new regulations
through the use of its
proprietary,
safe track clamping system (see diagram). Most competitive tram companies
continue to utilize the
outdated and
potentially dangerous drop arm emergency braking system
(see diagram).
Be sure to include a review of this important safety feature
when comparing tram systems for your property.
If
the safety of your family and guests are your highest
priority, the Lakeside Trams Hill Glider is your clear choice.
All in all, The Hill Glider® "raises the bar" with its
unique, contemporary styling and
standard safety and reliability
upgrades such as, hot-dipped galvanized steel componentry,
3hp motor (5hp optional) and surge protection on all systems.
