ᐅ Looking for ideas and experiences with hillside elevators

Hello everyone,
We have the idea and space to install an inclined lift for loads of at least 150 kg (330 lbs). This would make it easier to transport items such as drinks, firewood, stones, soil, building materials for garden sheds, and plants to different garden levels and the kitchen entrance. At the same time, we would need less driveway construction.

The inclined lift would need to overcome a slope of 20-40% and have three intermediate stops, covering approximately 18 meters (59 feet) of vertical height on a straight, curve-free track. In our research, we keep coming across Göde.

Who has experience with something like this and can share their insights?
Does anyone know of other alternatives?

Thanks and best regards,
Max.

A crane on the wall is a good idea. Our site doesn’t allow for that because the crane also needs enough height. Overall, there is about a 30-meter (98 feet) elevation difference on the property, with the road at the lower level. We still like it that way.

We have a 15 m (49 feet) section with a 43-degree slope at the steepest part.

Honestly, it’s better to bring the equipment up there once than to carry everything up the stairs all the time, from the jackhammer and apple basket to building materials.

We have two street access points from below.

Precisely because of daily use, I want to build such a thing. It’s not a question of if, but how.
Today, I will have a look at one of those Geda devices.
Buying a used one from a vineyard would also be fun, wouldn’t it?

Why not. Just check if there is something available. An employee once bought a mini crawler tractor from a vineyard owner. It had about the same capacity as a wheelbarrow, but could go anywhere.
