Indoor and Outdoor
Inclined Elevators

Millepiani Elevators also offers innovative inclined-elevator solutions where the different
levels to be connected are spread across separate areas, including over horizontal
distances.

A commitment to quality and innovation has made Millepiani Elevators a leading reference
in this segment of vertical mobility, developing customised solutions that improve the
accessibility and use of all kinds of spaces.

Outdoor inclined elevators are specialised systems suitable for all types of terrain.
They make steep hillside areas accessible, including locations covered by vegetation
that needs to be preserved, plantations, specialised crops and protected landscapes.

Inclined elevators can be highly practical and useful means of transport in tourist
destinations, particularly where panoramic areas are located on slopes. They provide
an effective solution for transporting people in complete safety.

These systems are built using premium-quality materials and highly precise mechanisms
in every detail. Their name comes from the fact that they travel vertically, but along a sloping
rather than a steep vertical path.

These passenger elevators can also be used for public transport, for example to connect
two areas of the same city located at different elevations.

Inclined elevators are also used privately inside buildings, gardens and outdoor areas.
They provide an alternative to conventional mobility systems and are often a practical,
cost-effective and fast solution.

By following routes that are independent of road traffic, inclined elevators can reach
their destination reliably and offer passengers calm, comfortable journeys. They also
provide the opportunity to travel through unspoilt natural surroundings and enjoy
remarkable landscapes.

Inclined elevators operate through a lifting system using either a traction rope or
hydraulic drive. They maintain a constant trajectory thanks to guideways made from
steel beams or railway-type rails.

Their maximum inclination relative to the horizontal plane is 75°. Beyond this threshold,
they are considered vertical elevators.

Compared with cableways, inclined elevators travel along routes with a steeper gradient.
Funicular railways use haulage traction systems, while inclined elevators operate through
lifting systems. Discover our elevator ranges here.
