Looking for ideas / experiences for a hanging elevator

Hello everyone,
We have the idea and the space to use a hillside lift for loads of at least 150 kg. This way, we can get loads (drinks, firewood, stones, soil, building materials for garden huts, plants...) more easily to different garden levels and the kitchen entrance. At the same time, we need to create less access.
The hillside lift would have to overcome a terrain slope of 20-40%, should have three intermediate stations, and cover a total of about 18 meters in height on a track without curves. Somehow, in the research, one keeps coming across Göde.
Who has such a system in use and can share their experience?
Who knows of other alternatives?
Thanks & regards,
Max.

I have neither experience nor could I spontaneously name ready-made devices for you.

For the short term (during the construction phase), I would simply build a slide out of planks (2 side by side and a half plank on each side as a guide) and have a kind of hand truck (2 planks screwed together in an L-shape) run on this slide using a simple winch. Then a switch at each station (the electrician should be able to cobble that together within 2 hours).

In the long term, one could turn the slide into a brook/waterfall, to which two inconspicuous aluminum rails are added on the side. On them, the "hand truck," which also has 2 aluminum rails perpendicular to the direction of travel underneath and is guided into the side rails with connecting pieces.

Alternatively, you could use a 500mm KG pipe and cut openings at the stations. Later, you could bury it so that nothing of the lift can be seen.
In any case, I would not hang a "cable car" in the garden; the tension of the cable alone would not let me relax peacefully on the sun lounger.

Thank you for the good idea. I googled some material. The construction is not rocket science. DIY is an option, but it doesn't seem significantly cheaper if it has to hold up. We'll rather skip the stream or waterfall. There is enough space not to have the device in view when sitting in the house or on the terrace. Planting will do as well.

Listen to the child in you and build a proper slide

But seriously: What kind of material did you google that you don’t see a big saving in the end? The Geda lift you mentioned already costs €3,700 in the basic version (including 2m rail). Every additional meter of rail costs €100, which in your case will probably easily swallow another €2,300. And that’s just the lift itself, without the necessary terrain modeling, for which I would cautiously estimate another €10,000, and without installation of the whole stuff.

Another crazy idea: Lay 80s IPE beams parallel into the slope and use a winch to run a "handcart". Beams should cost no more than €30 per meter (€1,500), a usable winch (€500) and a good Fetra front wall cart you can get for €350 more (and you can also use it "up top"). For my sake, add the same amount again for some digging, supports and welding and you have, in my opinion, a usable, durable and unobtrusive solution for under 5k, on which you can also let Hotwheels run

Costs - went through the roof Tim-Taylor-style with me... I was thinking of "light" HEA beams. Along with a sled-roller construction that grips the beam from three sides with contact and prevents the carrier from derailing. At the same time, it should be resistant to dirt "on the track". Then a "box" with adjustable side walls on top of that. It would definitely handle at least a ton – great if you want to beautify the slope at the top of the garden with a dry stone wall and can't drive up there. Also great for bringing the chopped firewood from the forest behind the house to the storage level under the overhanging terrace. Damn – caught fire again. Can you guess why my construction project is not staying within budget?

No, I really can't guess that.

To manage the retaining wall, we want to thoughtfully build a small 1,000 kg crane with a 5 m winch on top of the wall.
We can access the slope from both above and below. A chute or an elevator would also be something. That way, everything is always where you need it. Even carrying something over 2 or 3 meters is no fun at a 40° slope.
