Any advice?

However, I have not been in the loop if things went according to plan or went south. I am taking the stance, no news is good news.

These are all vertical lifts and not incline lifts and some are contained within fully enclosed (but unheated) enclosures of aluminum framing and polycarbonate glazing. If these are vertical lifts I would recommend Garaventa. I could not say one way or another if you need to install incline lifts in an exterior location.

I have specified a number of vertical lifts and the specs were usually based on Garaventa.
