OUR TESTIMONIALS

525 ft Tram, Norris Lake, TN

Thank all of you for making my life so much easier. As you know, the steps were very challenging and too troublesome to take full advantage of our lakefront, but no more! Your tram system has made it possible for us and our guests to use the lake anytime we desire.

Everyone loves riding the tram and is very impressed with the workmanship and safety features. Donna and I know that we made a great investment in our property and improved our quality of life as well.

Thanks again for your professionalism, timely response, and follow up. We highly recommend your product, but more importantly, your people and your service.

450 ft Tram in Norris Lake, TN

As you know, several contractors had stated that access to our lakefront was impossible due to the steep terrain and several rock bluffs. Being 450 feet up from the water, our view is spectacular but getting to the water was impossible. We had resigned ourselves to only a view of Norris Lake from our home and using Twin Cove Marina to dock our boat. It was a hassle but the only option we had to enjoy our boat UNTIL OUR TRAM SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED!

The difference your tram system has made is WONDERFUL. I would call it life changing because it has opened up a whole new lifestyle for us. The ease and comfort is remarkable and everybody loves to ride it. Before the tram, our lake use was limited because it was such a hassle to drive to the marina, get the boat out, etc., especially when we had family or guest staying with us. We can now utilize and enjoy our boat any time we want with just a push of a button. WOW!!!

The landing and steps with handrails to our dock are well made and very solid while being attractive and safe. We are extremely please with the entire installation. American Recreational Tram Systems … Safe, Sensible, Solutions is the perfect logo for your company as it is all of that and so much more. We want to thank you for your professionalism and dedication to safety and service.

165 ft Tram in Indian River, TN

I just wanted to drop you a note letting you know how pleased Donna and I are with how the Tram installation went. Since we are not permanent residents at our lake front home, it is not easy to conduct construction activities. Working with you and your crew, we never had to worry about how things were going or if they would not be done as indicated. On several occasions you arranged to have someone take care of needed activities, like taking down the dead trees. It sure made the installation painless. You all were very cordial and willing to work around our schedule and wants. You were very accommodating to locating the Tram so that we could add a future deck onto the back of the house. Thanks for making this investment a pleasure.

We have only been able to go up and down the tram a few times, since winter has set in and the boat is back in Ohio, but it has worked flawlessly. It came in real handy the day we took out the boat, I had to go up and down the hillside five times. Taking the 110 steps would have nearly killed me. If you ever need to show someone the lift in operation, or need a referral, we would be glad to let you do that, even when we are not on site.

175 ft Tram in Lake Keowee, SC

This is to make a record of your fine product and service that I have had the pleasure of using.

Some of our friends think of our tram as a big toy for us to play with, but I can tell you that it is an absolute necessity from our point of view. Without it, I would never be able to make as many trips to our dock as I do on a daily basis. I know that there are other tram companies out there, but the attention to detail, installation, and the immediate response to any of our service requests were all done in a professional manner from your firm.

We would highly recommend your company to anyone who may wish to discuss your work with us.

150 ft Tram in Lake Blue Ridge, GA

Thank-you for finishing off the docking area entrance, it looks great. The finer points include; the engineering, stability, the perfect welds and powder coat finish. Truly the best I have ever seen. Two of my neighbors want to get one this spring, I hope you can work them in.

In the mean time feel free to use mine as a demo, I am that proud of it. It worked out perfect and is far superior to others I have seen that cost more. My only regret is I didn’t get it earlier, we would have got a lot more use out of the lake. Thanks again for all you have done.

190ft Tram, Ford Lake

American Recreational Tram has changed our lives on Tims Ford Lake in Tennessee! After 28 years of walking down 166 steps to go boating, and walking back up to the house a few times a day. We never dreamed our lives on the lake could be any better! In less than 3 minutes we can ride down to the water to go boating!

It made us realize how much we love, love, love, our tram. Making it so convenient for this young 81 year old, and her family and friends to enjoy the lake for many more years!

190 ft, Norris Lake

We believe that our tram is what sold the buyers of our home. A great investment! Thank you for the great job you and your team did on the installation. I think everyone on the point has taken a ride once word got around that we had a tram.

190 ft, Chickamauga Lake

In every area where I had concerns American Recreational Tram had a far superior design, choice of materials, and better quality basic components.

They did everything they said they would, on time, as quoted. The workmanship and installation is stellar. Tony and Chris are some of the most trustworthy people I have met and an absolute pleasure to work with. I even had them build my lower landing (on a separate contract) that is beautiful. My family now enjoys our lake front property ten times more now than before. I would highly recommend ART and you will wish you had done it sooner!
