Platform lifts in Harrisburg for homes, churches, and businesses
Harrisburg's high porches, split-level churches, and older commercial buildings with a few steps at the entrance are exactly what platform lifts are for. We install vertical lifts for porches and entries, enclosed commercial lifts with the state permit and inspection handled, and inclined lifts where a staircase is the only route.
What we install in Harrisburg
Residential porch lifts: the Savaria Multilift for rises up to 6 feet and the V-1504 beyond that, both outdoor rated and installed in a day on a concrete pad. Commercial lifts: enclosed V-1504s and the enclosed-cab Prolift for churches, offices, and public buildings, with interlocked doors specified to code. Stages and raised floors: Ascension Protégé and Virtuoso. Straight staircases: the Savaria Delta inclined lift that folds against the wall.

Permits and inspections in Pennsylvania
Commercial platform lifts in Pennsylvania need a state permit before installation and a witnessed acceptance test afterward, and commercial travel is limited to 12 feet without a variance. We prepare the Department of Labor and Industry application, the drawings, and the work-by-others checklist, perform the test in front of the inspector, and offer service plans that include the periodic tests. Residential lifts need no state permit; a township building permit for the pad may apply. Pricing and the full lineup are on the platform lifts page.

Harrisburg is about 15 minutes from our shop in Etters, PA.

Platform lifts in Harrisburg: common questions
How much does a platform lift cost in Harrisburg?
Residential porch lifts typically run in the low to mid five figures installed. Commercial lifts cost more because of enclosures, interlocked doors, and the permit and inspection. We quote after a site visit and include the permit as its own line.
Does a church in Harrisburg need a permit for a platform lift?
Yes. Any commercial or public-building lift in Pennsylvania needs a state permit before installation and a witnessed test after. We handle both.
Platform lift or ramp for a few porch steps?
Under about 30 inches of rise a modular ramp is usually simpler and cheaper. Above that a lift saves yard space. We price both when it is close.
How long does a platform lift take?
Residential: one day once the pad and circuit are ready. Commercial: a few weeks end to end, mostly permit lead time before the order and inspection scheduling after.
