You tell us what is difficult
Not what product you think you need. The stairs, the front step, the bath, getting into the car. Working out the product is our job.

Who The Bruno VPL-3153 / VPL-3175 Suits
We would rather tell you this is the wrong model than sell you one that does not fit the staircase or the person. If any of the below does not describe your situation, say so on the first call and we will point you at the right thing.
We are an authorized dealer, which means we sell it, install it, and service it afterward. Nothing here is drop-shipped to your door with an instruction sheet.
- A rise too high for a ramp to fit the yard
- Anyone traveling seated in a wheelchair
- Porches, decks, garages, and split-level entries
What Matters About This One
The things that actually decide whether it is the right choice.
01
Where a ramp will not fit
A compliant ramp needs roughly twelve inches of run per inch of rise. A four-foot porch wants close to fifty feet of ramp. A platform lift needs a pad. The Bruno is rated to 750 lb, which covers a power chair and its occupant with room to spare.
02
Indoor or weather-rated
Outdoor units are specified for weather throughout. We will not put an indoor unit outside.
03
Gates and interlocks
Landing gates that cannot open mid-travel and a lift that cannot move with a gate open.
04
Licensed installation
In most states this equipment legally requires a licensed installer and an inspection. We hold that licensing in our own name.

The Credentials Behind The Work
Anybody can sell equipment. Installing it legally, configuring it clinically, and servicing it afterward takes credentials that have to be earned and kept current. Here is what our team holds.
Elevator Mechanic
State Elevator Mechanic Licenses
Licensed elevator mechanics, state by state. Residential elevators and platform lifts are regulated work in most jurisdictions, and this is the license that makes it legal to do.
ATP
ATP, Assistive Technology Professional
RESNA-recognized credential for evaluating a person's needs and specifying the assistive technology that fits. This is who you want configuring a power chair or a seating system.
CRTS
CRTS, Complex Rehab Technology Supplier
The credential for supplying individually configured complex rehab. It is what separates a supplier who works alongside your clinical team from one who ships a box.
CAPS
CAPS, Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist
Training in modifying a home so someone can stay in it. It is the difference between installing equipment and understanding the house it goes into.
MSE
Mobility Service Excellence
Industry service certification covering installation, maintenance, and repair standards across mobility equipment.
EPA 609
EPA Section 609
Federal certification for handling refrigerant in vehicle air conditioning. It is required to legally service a bus AC system, and it is why fleet work is something we can actually take on.

Mason is a wonderful service technician! We live in “rural country” of NE Georgia and he drove all this way to get my Dad’s chair lift up and running. Thank you, Mason AND Custom Mobility!
As a fellow business owner, I have seen this company do all of their work with as much professionalism and tact as any that I have ever encountered. I thoroughly enjoy actually witnessing people who care about their work and show it through their actions, and the owner at Customer Mobility is the ep…
My Service Technician is truly the best! He responded within a day and he fixed the chairlift in less than an hour! It’s reassuring to know that we can depend upon Custom Mobility!
