The Right Solution for Your Building
101 Mobility of Greater Philadelphia is here to help. Every building is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Find your situation below, and we’ll help you choose the right solution for your customers, staff, and visitors.
| If your property has… | We usually recommend… | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| A few steps at the entrance, with room for a ramp | Commercial modular ramp (aluminum, with continuous handrails) | A cost-effective solution featuring a permanent, gentle slope with no moving parts. Plan on about 1 foot of ramp for every inch of rise, plus level landings. |
| Steps at the entrance, but no room for a long ramp | Vertical platform lift (Savaria V-1504 or MultiLift) | Raises a wheelchair user straight up in a small footprint. Works indoors or outdoors, open or fully enclosed. |
| A stage, altar, or raised floor inside | Vertical platform lift | Ideal for auditorium stages, sanctuaries, and split-level rooms. |
| A staircase to a lower hall or upper floor, with no room for a vertical lift | Inclined platform lift (straight or curved stairs) | Carries a wheelchair user along a rail beside the stairs. The platform folds up so the stairs stay open for everyone else. |
| A pool or spa open to the public | ADA pool or spa lift | Public pools and spas need at least one accessible way in. An ADA lift works from the deck and the water without help. |
| Members or guests who can walk but struggle with stairs | Commercial stairlift (straight or curved) | A seated ride built for frequent use. It does not count as a wheelchair route under the ADA, so pair it with a ramp or lift if you need one. |
| A raised doorway or threshold | Threshold ramp | Smooths out a small change in level right at the door. |
| Two or more floors | Low-rise commercial elevator (LULA) | A smaller passenger elevator for schools, churches, and two- or three-story offices. (25 Foot Max Rise) |
| A short-term need: an event, a renovation, or a temporary entrance | Ramp rental | Every ramp we carry can be rented as well as bought, so you are not paying for a permanent install. |

Quick Answers for Business Owners
Should we install a ramp or a platform lift?
It depends on the height and the space. A compliant ramp needs about 1 foot of length for every inch of rise, plus landings. If you have the room, a ramp has no moving parts. If you do not, a vertical platform lift fits a much smaller footprint. We will measure and show you both options.
Do we need a permit for a commercial wheelchair lift?
Yes. In Pennsylvania, the Department of Labor & Industry approves every lift before work starts and inspects it before use. In New Jersey, lifts fall under the state’s Elevator Safety Subcode. We handle the permit paperwork.
Does our hotel or gym pool need a lift?
If your pool or spa is open to the public, it needs at least one accessible way in, such as a pool lift. Existing pools have to add one when it is readily achievable. We can look at your pool and recommend the right lift.
Can we keep our platform lift locked?
Only when the area it serves is closed. While you are open, a person has to be able to use the lift without help, so it cannot depend on an attendant or a key they have to ask for.
Are there tax breaks for accessibility work?
Yes. Eligible small businesses can claim a federal tax credit of up to $5,000 a year, and businesses of any size can deduct up to $15,000 a year for removing barriers. Check with your accountant to see what applies to you.
How long does a commercial project take?
It depends on the equipment. Ramps usually move fastest, while lifts depend on manufacturing time, municipalities, and state permit review. You will get a timeline with your quote.
Lifts need a state permit
- Pennsylvania: the Department of Labor & Industry approves every lift before work starts, and an L&I inspector checks it before anyone rides.
- New Jersey: lifts fall under the state’s Elevator Safety Subcode, and commercial stairway chairlifts and wheelchair lifts are inspected at least once a year.
We handle the permit paperwork and are on site for the inspection.
