Home elevators in Hershey and Derry Township
Hershey homeowners add elevators for two reasons: to stay in a two-story home near family and Penn State Health as they age, and because a well-finished elevator is a feature in a larger home. We install both kinds, from a shaftless Pollock in an older Chocolate Avenue home to a Savaria Eclipse in a new Derry Township build.
Hershey elevator options
For an existing home with two floors, the Pollock and PVE go in through a floor opening with no hoistway. For new construction or a renovation that can frame a shaft, the Savaria Eclipse gives a finished cab, up to six stops, and 950 lb. The glass Vuelift suits a two-story foyer. We also install the PVE Cube where a square footprint fits better than a round tube.
Hummelstown, Palmyra, and Elizabethtown are on the same route and get the same service.

Timeline and permits
Shaftless and pneumatic elevators are usually riding six to ten weeks after the order, with two to four days of installation. Traditional elevators follow the construction schedule. Derry Township may require a building permit for the opening or hoistway; we prepare the drawings and file it. Residential elevators are exempt from Pennsylvania state inspection.

Home elevators in Hershey: common questions
What is the least disruptive elevator for an existing Hershey home?
A Pollock or a PVE. Both need a floor opening and a circuit, not a shaft or a machine room, and install in a few days.
Can you work with my builder on a new home in Derry Township?
Yes. We quote from plans, provide hoistway and electrical requirements, and coordinate the install with the construction schedule.
Do home elevators need an inspection in Pennsylvania?
Residential elevators are exempt from state inspection in Pennsylvania. A local building permit may apply to the construction; we handle it.
How much does a home elevator cost?
It depends on the type and the site work. We give a written quote that separates the elevator from the construction so you can see both. Financing is available.
