Stairlifts in Hanover, PA

Rent or buy used first: the Hanover approach

A stair lift rental in York County makes sense when the stairs are a temporary problem: a hip or knee replacement at UPMC Hanover, a fall that needs a few months of healing, or a parent staying through the winter. The rental is a straight Savaria K2, $1,295 to start covering installation, removal, and the first three months, then $150 a month with repairs included. A used stair lift in Hanover makes sense when the stairs are a long-term concern but the budget is firm: certified pre-owned K2 and Harmar Pinnacle units, reconditioned in our shop with new batteries, cut to your staircase, and backed by a 3 month service warranty. Both are installed by our own employees exactly like a new lift. The rental and new and used pages have the details; the FAQ below has the Hanover numbers.

Hanover homes and their staircases

The borough's older streets around Center Square, Broadway, Carlisle Street, and Baltimore Street are brick singles and twins from the 1880s through the 1920s with straight, steep staircases and often a second flight to the attic bedrooms. McSherrystown and the blocks toward the old Hanover Shoe plant are the same. Penn Township and West Manheim are post-war ranches with basement stairs, split-levels, and the newer two-stories along the Baltimore Pike toward the Maryland line. Conewago Township, toward New Oxford and Abbottstown, adds farmhouses and the homes around Cross Keys Village.

Our Hanover installs include straight-rail K2s on carpeted borough stairs and a lift that follows a full staircase from bottom to top, plus two more in the township. A chair lift in Hanover is nearly always a straight lift, which keeps the cost down; the rare turning staircase gets a curved rail.

New stairlifts for Hanover

When a new lift is the right call, the Savaria K2 is what we recommend first: 350 lb, folded to under eleven inches, charging continuously along the rail, with a 3 year parts warranty. The K2 Plus adds a 400 lb rating and a wider seat for transfers. For lighter riders the Harmar Pinnacle is compact with a mechanical folding rail. Curved staircases get the Handicare 4000 or the UP. Outdoor porch steps, common on Hanover's brick homes, take an outdoor-rated K2. Unlike single-brand dealers, we carry four stairlift lines, so the recommendation follows the staircase and the rider.
