Inclinator

Inclinator is a residential elevator company that offers fully customizable personal elevator solutions, as well as dumbwaiters and wheelchair lifts. The company's history dates back to the 1920s when C.C. Crispen invented the Inclin-ator, a moveable seat traveling up and down stairs.

Inclinator's history began with C.C. Crispen, who in 1923 got an idea for a moveable seat traveling up and down stairs while visiting a convalescing neighbor. He developed a folding wooden chair and footrest that moved on rollers up and down a steel rail fastened to stairs, and called it the 'Inclin-ator' to convey the idea of an elevator working on an incline of stairs. In 1924, the Philadelphia Electric Company invited Mr. Crispen to display the Inclin-ator in its showroom, helping his idea become a company. Soon after, Westinghouse Electric had one installed at its Electric Home on Atlantic City's boardwalk. In 1928, Mr. Crispen designed the first residential electric elevator as an alternative for homes with winding staircases.

America's favorite and most trusted residential elevator company, offering fully customizable personal elevator solutions.
