Most requested

Residential Elevators

A home elevator makes every floor of a multi-story house easy to reach — for you, your guests, and everything you carry: groceries, luggage, laundry. Our elevators are built to strict national standards and come in several cab sizes and door configurations, so they fit a wide range of floor plans. Battery backup and emergency lowering keep you safe during a power outage, and an elevator adds real resale value to your home.

  • Roped hydraulic, counterweighted electric and winding-drum drives
  • Several cab sizes and door configurations
  • Finishes from laminate to raised hardwood
  • Stainless or brass fixtures
  • Battery backup and emergency lowering
  • Adds marketability and resale value
Commercial & light commercial

LULA Elevators

LULA (Limited Use / Limited Application) elevators are a smart alternative to full commercial elevators in low-rise buildings. They need less space and less construction, so architects and planners can fit them into renovations as well as new builds — a comfortable, accessible ride without the cost of a full commercial elevator.

  • Ideal for low-rise and multi-tenant buildings
  • Smaller footprint than a commercial elevator
  • Works for renovations and new construction
  • Accessible, comfortable ride
  • Personal help from planning through installation
  • Residential and commercial applications

Stairlifts

A stairlift is the lowest-cost way to get safely up and down the stairs. With many models to choose from, there's a stairlift for almost every staircase and budget. Seats and footrests fold up when not in use so others can still use the stairs. Stairlifts are also popular with churches and organizations that want to welcome aging members.

  • Fits standard 36" residential stairs
  • Fold-up seat and footrest
  • Battery-powered drive
  • Swivel seat for safe exits at the top
  • Custom curved rails for landings and corners
  • Outdoor units with covers · up to 400 lb
Porch & ADA access

Vertical Platform Lifts

Often called porch lifts, vertical platform lifts carry a wheelchair or scooter user up to a porch, deck or raised entry. They're also a popular way for commercial buildings and churches to provide ADA access without the cost of a commercial elevator.

  • With or without enclosures
  • Fits customer-provided hoistways
  • Pit-free installs available
  • Non-rated or fire-rated entrance doors
  • Screw-drive or roped-hydraulic drive
  • Travel from 3 to 14 feet · outdoor-ready
Wheelchair on stairs

Inclined Platform Lifts

Inclined platform lifts move wheelchair and scooter users up and down an existing staircase. The platform folds against the wall when it's not in use, so the stairs stay open for everyone. Because they carry heavier loads, they need solid structural support — we help plan for it early in the design.

  • Runs on your existing staircase
  • Platform folds flat when not in use
  • Wheelchair and scooter capable
  • Indoor and outdoor applications
  • Structural planning included
  • Residential and commercial
Home convenience

Dumbwaiters

Dumbwaiters are invaluable for moving groceries, firewood and laundry from floor to floor — especially when the garage sits on a different level than the kitchen. They come in a range of sizes, capacities and cab finishes. Landing doors are usually built by your builder to match the home's cabinetry, and interlocks keep each door closed unless the dumbwaiter is at that floor.

  • Automatic 120V electric (most popular)
  • Manual units available
  • Range of sizes and weight capacities
  • Landing doors matched to your cabinetry
  • Safety interlocks on every door
  • Residential and commercial

Plan it in early

Builders & Architects

Every elevator is unique — sizes, door configurations, finishes and drive systems all affect the space it needs. We provide typical "Work by Others" requirements for each type so builders and architects can plan early. Use the planning guides for initial design (not as final construction documents): hoistways are often a couple of inches larger in each direction, and pits are typically 10–12 inches. We're glad to help through planning and budgeting.

  • Planning guides for each elevator and lift
  • "Work by Others" requirement sheets
  • Hoistway and pit guidance
  • Budgeting help for your client
  • Future-elevator prep for spec homes
  • Coordination through installation
Lake & hillside lots

Hillside Trams

A hillside tram rides on a track that follows the slope from your house to the shoreline, so getting to the dock no longer means a long climb. We design each tram for the grade and length of your lot, install it, and handle seasonal service and repairs. Popular on Lake Coeur d'Alene, Hayden Lake, Lake Pend Oreille, Flathead Lake and Whitefish Lake.

  • Custom-built for your slope and length
  • Open cars, enclosed cabs and cargo carriers
  • Stops at the house, deck, beach or dock
  • Hauls coolers, firewood and gear
  • Fall shutdown and spring start-up
  • Service on existing trams
FAQ

Common questions

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We'll come out for a free in-home (or on-site) consultation, measure, and give you a written quote.

Can you put an elevator in an existing home?

Often, yes. Several drive types and cab sizes make it possible to fit an elevator into many existing homes — a closet stack or an exterior hoistway are common options. We'll assess your home during the consultation.

Stairlift or home elevator — which is right for me?

A stairlift is the most affordable way to get up and down an existing staircase. A home elevator costs more but serves every floor, carries more, and works for wheelchairs. We'll help you weigh both based on your home and needs.

Do you service equipment you didn't install?

We have local technicians and can service many brands. Call us with the make and model and we'll let you know.

What areas do you serve?

We're based in Coeur d'Alene and serve Idaho, Western Montana & Eastern Washington.
