Wheelchair Ramps in Steelton, PA

Rowhome entrances in Steelton, Highspire, and Middletown

Steelton's Front Street and the numbered streets up the hill are brick rowhomes and twins from the steel mill years, with a stoop of three to five steps to a narrow sidewalk and a rear entrance off the alley. Highspire and Middletown's older blocks near the river and the railroad are the same, and Oberlin, Enhaut, and Bressler add post-war singles with a few porch steps and a small yard. The Steelton install pictured used a straight run with a landing at the door; where the sidewalk is too tight for that, the ramp goes in at the alley entrance, and above about 30 inches of rise a vertical platform lift in a 5 by 6 foot footprint is the better answer.

Many calls here follow a discharge from UPMC Harrisburg, Penn State Health Hershey, or the rehab hospital in Hummelstown, and come from a tenant or a family member rather than the homeowner. A modular ramp sits on adjustable legs and attaches to nothing, so landlords approve it, and it comes back out when the recovery is over.

A ramp to keep in Middletown and Steelton, or to sell back

Purchase with buy-back: the ramp disassembles and gets reused, so for a few months of recovery, ask about buy-back when it is no longer needed. The system: 36 inches of clear width, 1,000 lb capacity, slip-resistant surface, welded aluminum that never rots, tool-free connections, lifetime warranty, with platforms, turn platforms, stair sections, and gates for a rowhome front. The modular ramps page has the length table, and our post on getting a wheelchair into a house with steps walks through the choices for a stoop.

Handicap ramp cost in Dauphin County

Rowhome ramps are short, which keeps them affordable. A three-step stoop is about 21 inches of rise and a 21 foot ramp at the ADA slope, which along a house front is a straight run and one landing at the door. The price climbs when the run has to turn, because every turn adds a platform, and when the rise passes about 30 inches, which is where we start pricing a platform lift beside the stoop instead. Tell us how many steps and we will give a rough length and price on the phone, then measure and put the exact number in writing within 24 hours. No travel charge in Steelton, Highspire, or Middletown, and financing is available.

Installed in a day, out clean later

We measure from the sidewalk or yard to the top of the threshold, lay out the run and the landing, and confirm the door swing. Sections hook together with pre-assembled handrails, so a rowhome ramp is installed in a few hours with no digging, no concrete, and usually no permit. Steelton is fifteen minutes from our shop in Etters, on the same route as Harrisburg and Middletown, so a discharge date this week is usually workable. Stairs inside the house are on the Hummelstown and Middletown stairlift page.
