Wheelchair Ramps in Hanover, PA

Hanover and Spring Grove entrances

The borough's streets around Center Square, Broadway, Carlisle Street, and Baltimore Street are brick singles and twins from the 1880s onward with a porch of three to six steps and, often, a narrow side yard. The ramp runs along the house with a landing at the door, or uses a rear entrance where the lot allows. McSherrystown and Spring Grove's older blocks are the same, and the Spring Grove install pictured used a short straight run from the front walkway to a raised porch with handrails both sides. Penn Township and West Manheim are post-war ranches and later two-stories with a few porch steps and a lawn, plus garage entries that take a short indoor ramp. Where a porch is high and the lot is small, a vertical platform lift takes a 5 by 6 foot footprint instead of a long run.

UPMC Hanover discharges people with walkers and chairs every day, and a modular ramp installed before the date is a common first job for us in the borough.

A modular ramp in Spring Grove and Hanover, with buy-back

Purchase with buy-back: the ramp disassembles and gets reused, so ask about buy-back when it is no longer needed. The system: 36 inches of clear width between handrails, 1,000 lb capacity, slip-resistant surface, welded aluminum that never rots or splinters, tool-free connections on adjustable legs, and a lifetime warranty, with platforms, turn platforms, stair sections, and gates. The modular ramps page has the length table, and our post on whether an HOA can deny a ramp covers the newer developments.

Modular ramp cost in York County

The Spring Grove ramp pictured is a good example of the affordable end: a raised porch reached by a short straight run from the walkway, handrails both sides, one platform at the door. Hanover's older brick homes with a higher porch and a side yard need a longer run that turns the corner of the house, and each turn adds a platform. For a recovery after UPMC Hanover, ask about buy-back when the ramp comes out. Tell us the number of steps and we will estimate length and price on the phone, then measure and put the exact number in writing within 24 hours. No travel charge in Hanover or Spring Grove, and financing is available.

Installed in a day on the Hanover route

We measure from the walkway to the top of the threshold, lay out the run and landings, and confirm the door swing at the top platform. Sections hook together with pre-assembled handrails, so a porch ramp like the Spring Grove one goes in within a few hours with no digging, no concrete, and usually no permit. Hanover is about 45 minutes from our shop in Etters, on the same route as Gettysburg and Taneytown, so we are in the area most weeks. Stairs inside the house are on the Hanover stairlift page.
