Finger Lakes Tram builds rugged, beautiful trams, tram systems and waterfront lifts for hillside and lake access.

Better by Design

The tram system has one main purpose, to safely transport you down the slope, and return you to your house. It has to perform flawlessly, with little or no downtime or maintenance. In addition, the system has to be visually appealing, which generally means it blends into the surroundings, and comfortable to ride. We also put a great deal of care and effort customizing the design and installation for your specific property; determining the optimal placement of the system, minimizing environmental disturbance, and installing the complete system very quickly.

Design Highlights:

  • We make sure the controls are intuitive and comfortable to use.
  • We use Aluminum I beam vs. galvanized steel for the track to eliminate long term corrosion.
  • Our cabin is powder coated marine grade welded aluminum.
  • The track is installed low to the ground and can be anodized to any color to
    minimize visual impact.
  • Our cabin profile has features that eliminate pinch points at the upper and lower stations, commonly found in other designs.
We can often customize various aspects of the design to meet your specific needs.
