Vuelift Planning Guide

Purpose of This Guide

This guide assists architects, contractors, and lift professionals to incorporate the Vuelift 
Residential Elevator into a residential design. The design and manufacture of the Vuelift Elevator 
meets the requirements of the following codes and standards:
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44 2000, Section 5.3
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44 2004, Section 5.3
• ASME A17.1 2004, Addendum 2005, Section 5.3
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44 2007, Section 5.3
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44, Addendum 2008, Section 5.3
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44 2010, Section 5.3
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44 2013, Section 5.3
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44 2016, Section 5.3
• ASME A17.1 1996, Part 5
We recommend that you contact your local authority having jurisdiction to ensure that you 
adhere to all local rules and regulations pertaining to residential elevators.

IMPORTANT: 

This Planning Guide provides nominal dimensions and specifications useful for the 

initial planning of a vertical platform lift project. Dimensions and specifications are subject to 
change without notice due to continually evolving code and product applications.

Before beginning actual construction, please consult Savaria or the authorized Savaria dealer in 
your area to ensure you receive your site-specific installation drawings with the dimensions and 
specifications for your project.
