Hill Country Trams is not a distributor like most of the competitors and website sources you find, we are the manufacturer of our tram systems. Tram manufacturing has remained mostly unchanged for the last 20 years. Many manufacturers continue to produce antiquated and remedial systems. Hill Country Trams is the leader in trams and ancillary products. We continue to strive in the engineering of new components and methodologies to improve our tram systems. Most importantly is the ability to service the products remotely, or with the most efficient service technicians and least down time on your tram. Our product has improved the reliability issues typical of old manufacturing designs. Our simple yet sophisticated design absolutely makes other manufacturers pale in comparison, providing reliability and low maintenance at an excellent price.
