What Mobility Elevator & Lift Co. does

Mobility Elevator & Lift Co. is a privately held, family-founded dealer and installer of vertical mobility equipment headquartered in West Caldwell, New Jersey, operating since 1984 across the New Jersey, New York City metro, and Connecticut tri-state area. The company sells, installs, and services a broad portfolio including commercial LU/LA elevators (Orion), residential elevators (Eclipse, Infinity, Vuelift, Zenith, Telecab, Luma Lift, Vacuum Elevator PVE37), vertical and inclined wheelchair/platform lifts (Multilift, V-1504, Prolift, Delta, Pegasus, Ascension, Omega), dumbwaiters (Matot, Fox Valley), stair lifts (Savaria K2, Handicare 1000/2000, Simplicity, Elan, Stairfriend, Electra-ride III, Precision, Freelift), and material lifts (M-1504, Pflow). As an authorized dealer for at least ten manufacturers including Savaria, Matot, Bruno, Acorn, Concord, Federal, Atlas, Waupaca, Cemco Lift, and Access Industries, Mobility does not manufacture proprietary hardware but competes on integration expertise, custom installation (invisible lifts, glass elevators, luxury finishes), and ADA compliance know-how. Notable projects include wheelchair lifts at the United Nations Building (part of the US$2.1 billion renovation, 2013), the post-9/11 World Trade Center pedestrian bridges (Elevator World Project of the Year, 2004), Google NYC, Bloomberg, Johnson & Johnson HQ, TD Bank branches, Starbucks Reserve Roastery, Columbia University, NYU, and Rutgers.

The business operates three primary revenue streams: one-time product sale and installation (the largest stream), recurring maintenance subscription plans (Silver/Gold/Platinum with annual billing, 1-4 routine visits, and 25% parts/labor discounts), and on-demand service and repair. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales through the West Caldwell showroom, supplemented by an architect and general contractor referral channel, manufacturer authorized-dealer distribution, and an Architect Guide program with CAD drawings and AIA CES credits. The company employs 51-100 staff including the largest group of OSHA-30 certified technicians in the industry, holds a BBB A+ rating, and is certified as a Barrier Free Advocate by the State of New Jersey. Owner Kamran Shushtarian (President and co-owner, Kansas State mechanical engineering background) has led the firm since 1984 with no disclosed external private equity, venture capital, or parent company involvement.

Direct peers

Closely comparable business model — multi-product authorized dealer with installation, service, and maintenance revenue streams targeting residential and commercial accessibility customers.
• 101 Mobility: National authorized dealer and installer of stair lifts, wheelchair lifts, and residential elevators for accessibility and aging-in-place customers. Operates a franchise-style authorized dealer model with direct overlap on product categories (stair lifts, wheelchair platform lifts, residential elevators) and target customers (homeowners, commercial accessibility).

• Bruno Independent Living Aids: Manufacturer of stair lifts, scooter lifts, and vehicle lifts that also operates an authorized dealer network including Mobility. Comparable product lines and overlapping accessibility/residential customer base; competes where Bruno sells direct or via other dealers.
• Acorn Stairlifts: Manufacturer and direct seller of stair lifts with its own installation/service network. Overlaps with Mobility's stair lift product line and shares the residential aging-in-place customer base; competes where Acorn operates direct rather than through dealers.
• AccessNSM: National accessibility provider offering stair lifts, wheelchair lifts, ramps, and home elevators through installation and service. Comparable multi-product authorized-dealer model targeting residential aging-in-place and commercial ADA compliance customers.

• Savaria Corporation: Public manufacturer of elevators, stair lifts, wheelchair lifts, and accessible vehicles. While primarily a supplier to Mobility (15+ year Top Sales dealer relationship), Savaria also operates direct dealer/sales arms in some markets, making it a partial direct competitor on commercial LU/LA elevators and residential elevators.
