A vertical platform lift, commonly called a VPL or porch lift, is a compact powered platform that carries a wheelchair, scooter, or power chair straight up and down between ground level and a raised mobile home entry, replacing a long, sprawling wheelchair ramp with a small footprint that fits beside almost any porch, deck, or landing. For mobile and manufactured homes, where the entry floor typically sits well above grade, a VPL is often the fastest and most affordable way to restore full, independent access. Our standard residential unit, which rises to a full 5 feet, is priced at $7,995.00 factory-direct, and our team can walk you through model selection, permitting basics, and installation timing over the phone at 800-727-1954.
As a third-generation, factory-direct family business founded in 1964, we carry and install the full spectrum of major VPL manufacturers so mobile homeowners can compare apples to apples before buying: Mac's Lift Gate's PL and EVL Series, Bruno's Residential VPL-3100B and VPL-3200B, Harmar's Highlander II and VPL400-X, and Savaria's Multilift and V-1504 platform lifts. Every one of these product lines is built to carry roughly 750 pounds, which comfortably covers a power wheelchair, occupant, and in most cases a caregiver, and every model can be configured for the outdoor, all-weather use that mobile home entries demand. Our showroom staff in Burbank, Phoenix, Garden Grove, San Francisco, and Coronado can help you match the right brand and height to your home's specific step-up, and financing and same-day scheduling are available by calling 800-727-1954.
Mobile home entries vary widely, from a single low step to a full raised porch several feet off the ground, so our Wheelchair Lift lineup spans compact 4-foot units all the way up to towers that travel 14 feet for split-level or basement-to-porch applications. Every VPL in our lineup is engineered for continuous-pressure, constant-hold operation with a self-lowering safety ramp, obstruction sensors, and weather-resistant controls, so the lift is safe to operate rain or shine and shuts down automatically if anything blocks the platform. Because so many manufactured homes sit on piers or a raised chassis, a properly sized VPL is frequently a simpler, lower-cost, and more attractive solution than the long switchback ramp that code would otherwise require, and our factory-direct pricing keeps a new, code-compliant lift within reach starting at $7,995.00.
For mobile homeowners working with a tighter budget, we maintain an inventory of inspected, reconditioned used vertical platform lifts pulled from trade-ins and previous installations, each one tested and serviced before it leaves our shop. USED VPL VERTICAL PLATFORM Wheelchair Lift PORCH LIFTS FOR MOBILE HOMES ARE 1/2 OFF THE REGULAR PRICE: $3,995.00, which puts full-featured wheelchair access within reach for households that need a solution right away without waiting on a new factory build. Availability of specific heights, platform sizes, and brands changes as units are inspected and reconditioned, so call 800-727-1954 to check current used VPL stock for your mobile home before you commit to a new unit.
Mac's Lift Gate builds its Vertical Home Lift series specifically around everyday residential use, and the PL-50, PL-72, and PL-90 (along with the taller EVL-107 and EVL-121 towers) share a 750-pound weight capacity, indoor-or-outdoor durability, and a five-year limited warranty, all manufactured in the USA. The PL-50 reaches 50 inches of rise, the PL-72 reaches 72 inches, and the taller EVL models extend past 100 inches for homes with a deeper step-up, while every model keeps the same non-slip platform, low-profile ramp, constant-pressure paddle switch, and rolled-edge railing for safe day-to-day boarding. Mac's lifts are a frequent match for single-wide and double-wide mobile homes with a straightforward porch or entry-door rise, and our installers can confirm which PL model fits your home's exact height when you call 800-727-1954.
Harmar's residential VPL line covers two configurations that fit most mobile home applications: the VPL400-X, built for shorter rises up to about 53 inches with a simpler installation, and the Highlander II, which extends to roughly 14 feet of travel for homes with a deep basement, deck, or multi-level step-up. Both models share a 750-pound weight capacity and Harmar's Guardian LED diagnostic system, which gives an at-a-glance readout of lift status, battery charge, and maintenance needs, along with a SmartSense control board that continuously monitors motor temperature and cycle count to head off problems before they start. Harmar manufactures the Highlander II and VPL400-X in the USA, and either model can be finished for full outdoor exposure, making them a solid fit for a manufactured home porch, ramp replacement, or garage-level entry.
Bruno's Residential Vertical Platform Lift, sold as the VPL-3100B for shorter rises and the VPL-3200B for travel up to a full 14 feet, is built around a 750-pound capacity, a 36-inch by 48-inch platform, and a quiet screw-drive mechanism paired with a self-lowering folding ramp that automatically creates a safety barrier whenever the lift is in use. Shorter 4- and 6-foot Bruno units run on standard AC power, while taller configurations switch to DC battery power with a built-in charger, so the lift keeps operating through a power outage — a meaningful advantage for a mobile home resident who depends on the lift for every trip in or out. Weather-resistant coatings and controls, an emergency stop switch, and under-platform obstruction sensors round out the safety package, and Bruno's Emergency Lowering System gives a manual backup on the taller VPL-3200B models.
Savaria's Multilift is purpose-built for exactly the kind of low-rise deck and porch access that most mobile homes need, using an ACME screw-drive motor for smooth, precise travel up to 72 inches in either an enclosed cabinet or a mobile, relocatable configuration, all rated to a standard 750-pound capacity. For mobile homes that need to reach further — up to 14 feet or more — Savaria's V-1504 steps up to a hydraulic drive system with an ADA-compliant platform option, automatic gate openers, and a choice of aluminum, acrylic, or glass enclosure panels for full weather protection. Both Savaria lines are engineered for continuous-pressure operation with non-skid platforms and can be finished for either indoor or outdoor installation, giving mobile homeowners a proven, code-oriented option alongside the Mac's, Bruno, and Harmar lifts we also carry.
Because a VPL involves anchoring a tower to a concrete pad or footing, connecting dedicated power, and matching platform height to your exact porch or entry rise, professional measurement and installation make a real difference in how safely and smoothly the finished lift performs. Our factory-direct team handles the full process for mobile homeowners from measurement through permitting guidance, delivery, anchoring, and final safety testing, drawing on decades of experience installing Mac's, Bruno, Harmar, and Savaria lifts across single-wide, double-wide, and multi-section manufactured homes. Same-day estimate scheduling is often available in our core service areas, and our showrooms in Burbank, Phoenix, Garden Grove, San Francisco, and Coronado are open for in-person consultations, or you can start with a phone consultation at 800-727-1954.
