Cargo Lift for a Lakehouse

Elevated Lifting Systems - ELS out of Gulfport, MS. Will run you about $7k plus you run electrical to it.

We’re building on False River…outdoor kitchen and patio downstairs and all of the living upstairs. Plan on putting it right on side of the driveway and the landing will be the front balcony. Have you rode on it yet?????? I know…they’re not “rated” for humans!!

What do you think?

There is no doubt, there's a reason they're not rated for humans. There's no physical barriers to keep your arms or fingers inside, which could quickly be removed as you pass through the floor of your upstairs.

IF I were to ride on it, I'd try to be relatively sober, and IF I were to let my mom ride on it, I'd ride with her and make sure she kept her arms by her side, and not lean on the sides.

Of course, it'd be a relatively easy and safe fix to put some plexiglass or such panels inside it to create a barrier.

But it's invaluable for large appliances, groceries and luggage. Then again, we live at our camp.

A bit further away from you, but there's a biz in Maurepas that I used, Diversion Boat Lifts, that did mine, (and several neighbors), and he did a very good job. Worth a call for you.

Island side, closing on your lot next week?

Not us. We have been there since 2012. We are selling off our existing camp and rebuilding on our same lot. We are in between La Express and Bueches

Just built in 2022. We used AKDN magnolia lift (akdnlift@yahoo.com). Was 10k with everything included. They come, measure and then fabricate, then install about 4 weeks later. I’d recommend them to anyone.
