ACCUMAR TRACK LIFTS

Accumar Track Lifts are a good choice where the bank is firm and the run is reasonably short. They do not need as large of an upper entry deck as Cable lifts require and remain level throughout the trip. Track Lifts fit certain kinds of spaces best, such as tight city lots. They can be used for wheelchair access, frieght, and for general passenger runs. With a canopy and full height sliding door they are comfortable in inclement weather, and can be partially or fully enclosed.

Accumar's new Hill Hugger design eliminates the "Pit" or raised landing usually found at the bottom of the run on track type systems. A high raised landing is not required, either. The car rides down the track without the typical "wedge shaped" carriage under the floor, allowing the car to land almost level with the ground. The "pit" on most trams is aptly named, as it can be a nuisance to build railings around, or incorporate into the surroundings. The alternative, a high platform, can mean steps down to grade. The Hill Hugger solves this problem…no pit and no high landings.

Other tram companies do not offer the same quality and freedom from building track structures on the slope as Accumar does. Accumar products are truly unique.
