Significant inclines can concern anyone with a wheelchair or mobility issues. If your home has a steep hill from the driveway to the front door, a hilly backyard, or a dock at a significantly lower grade than your home, a hillside lift may be the ideal solution to make your property more accessible and enjoyable.
With its large platform and sturdy track system, a hillside lift makes it easy to move people and supplies up and down even the steepest grades.

Hillside Lift for Your Maryland Home
A hillside lift is a great solution when you need to traverse a steep grade safely with a wheelchair, walker, or braces. It features a deck or platform at the base of the hill and the top. Between these two platforms, a specially designed cart rides on a set of tracks up and down the hill.
The cart provides a level, stable platform to safely carry the wheelchair up and down the hill, and most have additional space for other riders, supplies, or equipment. They’re ideal for homes on the water with steep dock access, hilly or mountainous properties, or split-level homes.
Installing a hillside lift is an excellent way to:
- Improve the accessibility of your property.
- Make it easier to use features like docks or driveways.
- Carry heavy items up and down the hill.
- Carry supplies to your home or a boat.
- Improve the safety of your home and property.
