Is elevatorguide.com selling something?

elevatorguide.com is a free reference site published by Mobility123, an NJ-licensed elevator contractor (#17EM00177000). Reading the guides costs nothing. If your project is in NJ or eastern PA, we'd happily quote it — but the guides themselves are intended as a reference whether you hire us or not.

Are the guides vendor-sponsored?

No. Mobility123 is an authorized dealer for several manufacturers (Savaria, Stiltz, Bruno, Symmetry, and others), but the guides aren't paid placements. When meaningful trade-offs exist between brands or models, we say so.

How current are the specs and code references?

Each guide page shows its last-reviewed date. Code references (ASME A17.1, A18.1, ICC A117.1, ADA) update on multi-year cycles; manufacturer specs change more often. We track both and update pages when material changes occur.

Do the cost ranges apply to my state?

The cost ranges in each guide reflect real NJ and eastern-PA projects. Permit timelines, labor rates, and inspection cycles vary by state. Use the ranges as ballpark only — your local contractor can refine them for your jurisdiction.

Can I cite or link these guides in a spec or project document?

Yes. The guides are intended for working use by architects, engineers, and contractors. Link freely. If you'd like a specific clarification or a detail that's missing from a guide, let us know.

How do I request a project quote?

Use the form below this section. We respond within one business day to NJ and eastern-PA projects. The quote covers turnkey scope: equipment, structural and electrical prep, NJ elevator permit, installation by licensed mechanics, and final inspection.

Savaria V-1504 Vertical Platform LiftTechnical Planning Guide

Savaria's V-1504 is a workhorse residential and light-commercial VPL — straight-rail screw drive, indoor or outdoor configurations, ASME A18.1. This guide will cover structural prep, electrical service, weatherproofing for outdoor runs, and the real NJ project cost range across porch retrofit, split-level, and garage-to-foyer applications.

In progress

This guide is still being written.

Mobility123 is in the field installing this model. The full technical planning guide — specs, structural and electrical requirements, code references, NJ project cost ranges, and timelines — will publish here once we've completed enough installations to give you grounded numbers.

Why this guide is in the queue

The Savaria V-1504 shows up on enough Mobility123 projects (residential porch installs, split-level retrofits, public-building entrance lifts) that we want a planning-grade reference for it next to the Symmetry VPL.

When the guide publishes, it will cover:

The full configuration matrix (indoor vs. outdoor, straight vs. curved approach, gate vs. door upper landings)
Structural prep — foundation, pad slab, attachment to existing structure
Electrical service requirements and emergency-power options
ASME A18.1 conformance and how NJ inspectors interpret §3 and §4
Realistic NJ project cost ranges across the three most common builds
Installation timeline from permit to final inspection

In the meantime

If you have a Savaria V-1504 project in scope today, request a quote below — we'll work the planning detail with you directly while the public guide is being written.
