Sidewalk elevator lifts are primarily used for service (moving freight, stock, dumpsters, etc.) to grade or above grade to truck level, thus doubling as a dock lift. They also used to gain rooftop access to helipads for hospitals and businesses and can be used as a freight elevator below grade when there are intermediate levels. American Custom Lifts is the largest manufacturer and dealer of sidewalk elevator lifts in the world.
We have two basic types of sidewalk elevators – our electric model, the PS1E, which utilizes a drum machine. The hydraulic model, the PSH, comes as a standard hydraulic unit with a single in-ground cylinder or a hole-less hydraulic version with a single jack (cantilevered) or two jacks.
These models are available in capacities, platform sizes, pit depths, and travel to suit any requirements. Please contact us or visit our website to determine the best option for your project. Note: Our Sidewalk Elevators can be ridden and used as a Freight Elevator.

Code requires operation of all sidewalk elevators from grade only since a rider-operator is unable to determine whether a person or other obstacle is on the closed sidewalk door. Two people, an operator and a loader, are normally required – or one person to load and then go up to grade for operation.
