Hillside Trams?

Anyone have one of these hillside trams? We are looking at a lake house and wondering what the cost may be to put one of these in. Can anyone help with thoughts? Could you tell me what you paid for yours if you have one. Thanks

It is about 70 steps and they aren't in the best shape. I also thought of just redoing them but not sure cost on that either...so if you have any experience with either steps and having someone build roughly 70 of them or a tram could you post your thoughts? Thanks

There are lots of trams in our area, but all were installed in 70's I think. I've only seen 2 that still work.

What about a golf cart or RZR I move people and gear? Multi use

There's quite a few of the "Pro Option" listed by phathom above.. Pricing is about $100k installed for around 100'

$100K!!! Holy crap!

My Polaris Crew hauls all the people I want on my boat up and down no problem. I could buy 10 of them for that.
