Stairlifts in Shippensburg, PA
Shippensburg straddles the Cumberland and Franklin county line, and it is a town where the budget usually comes up in the first phone call. Median household income here is in the mid $40,000s to low $50,000s, so this page leads with used stairlifts and rentals and then covers the new Savaria K2. We have done five jobs in Shippensburg, including a curved lift on a wood staircase in the borough.
Shippensburg homes and their stairs
King Street and the blocks around it are brick and frame homes from the 1800s with straight, steep staircases and a front door a tread or two from the bottom step. Around Shippensburg University the housing is a mix of older singles and post-war ranches, and Southampton and Shippensburg townships add farmhouses along Route 11 and newer homes toward Walnut Bottom and Orrstown. Only about a third of borough homes are owner-occupied and one in five residents is over 65, which is a combination that fits renting a stairlift or buying a reconditioned one rather than financing a new curved rail.
Our Shippensburg install on a wood staircase was a curved rail with a secure ride along the turn, parked at the bottom beside the front door. Straight borough stairs are simpler still. The recent work strip below pulls Shippensburg and nearby jobs live.

Used and rental stairlifts in Shippensburg
Used stairlift in Shippensburg: certified pre-owned Savaria K2 and Harmar Pinnacle units, reconditioned in our shop with new batteries, cut to your staircase, installed by our technicians, and backed by a 3 month service warranty. Roughly half the price of the same lift new. Stair lift rental: a straight K2 from our fleet, $1,295 to start covering installation, removal, and the first three months, then $150 a month, repairs included. It is the right answer for a recovery after surgery at WellSpan Chambersburg or UPMC Carlisle, or for a parent staying for a season. New stairlifts: the Savaria K2 for straight stairs and the Handicare 4000 or UP for a turn, when a new lift is the better long-term value. Details on the new and used and rental pages.

Installation and scheduling in Shippensburg
Shippensburg is about 55 minutes from our shop in Etters, so we group Cumberland Valley visits by day and offer you a couple of specific dates rather than any day. A straight lift, new or pre-owned, is installed in two to three hours, mounted to the treads with nothing on the walls. Rentals install the same way and come out in under an hour with two weeks notice. Curved rails arrive two to five weeks after the order. Service calls are a flat $195 plus mileage for our lifts and most other brands, and urgent stops are prioritized on the route.
Drive time and scheduling

Straight answers
Stairlifts in Shippensburg: common questions
How much is a used stairlift in Shippensburg?
Certified pre-owned stairlifts usually run between about $1,600 and $4,500 installed with a 3 month service warranty. New straight stairlifts land between about $3,000 and $8,000, and curved rails generally start somewhere around $10,000.
Can I rent a stairlift in Shippensburg?
Yes. A straight rental Savaria K2 is $1,295 to start for installation, removal, and the first three months, then $150 a month, cancel with two weeks notice. Repairs are covered the whole time.
Is there a travel charge for a stairlift in Shippensburg?
No. Shippensburg is on our Cumberland Valley route, so the consultation and the installation come at the same price as a job ten minutes from the shop. The only time mileage appears is on a service call well outside our routes, and we quote it before scheduling.
Do you cover Newburg, Orrstown, and Walnut Bottom?
Yes. Southampton, Shippensburg, Hopewell, and Lurgan townships, Newburg, Orrstown, Walnut Bottom, and Newville are on the same route, and we continue to Chambersburg and Carlisle.
Can a stairlift go on the stairs of an older King Street home?
Yes. Straight, steep stairs are the easiest kind for a stairlift, and a folding rail keeps the front door clear at the bottom. Where the staircase turns, a curved rail follows it, as it did on a wood staircase we did in the borough.
