Delivering to Springbank

Hospital Bed, Lift and Ramp Rental for Springbank Acreages

Springbank is the acreage country just past Calgary’s western edge, between the city and Highway 22, south of the Bow River. The city neighbourhoods of West Springs and Aspen Woods were once part of it. Under the Springbank Area Structure Plan that Rocky View County adopted in March 2025, all new residential lots must be at least 2 acres, and that space is exactly what makes a delivery here different from one in town.

On an acreage, the hard part is rarely the room. It is the distance from where the truck stops to where the bed goes, the surface in between and the weather on the County roads. Springbank is the closest acreage district to our downtown address, about 22.6 km and 29 minutes away, and we plan each delivery around the lot as well as the house.

Coming home from

  • Foothills Medical Centre

    About 18.1 km or 21 minutes from central Springbank, which makes it the nearest hospital, closer than Rockyview. It lists stroke, spinal cord injury and amputee rehabilitation clinics.

  • Rockyview General Hospital

    About 25.4 km or 28 minutes away in SW Calgary, with an Acute Geriatric Unit, a Seniors Health Clinic and inpatient orthopedics.

  • Carewest Glenmore Park

    Next door to Rockyview General, so a similar drive. It lists a Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Unit, a Geriatric Day Hospital and a Rehabilitation and Community Transition Program.

Going home to Springbank

Rockyview sits on the south-west side of the city, but by road Foothills Medical Centre is the closer hospital to Springbank: about 21 minutes against 28. Either way the ride home is under half an hour, and our crew needs about 29 minutes from downtown, so a delivery on discharge day is often possible when the equipment is in stock and you call early. If the patient is finishing rehab at Carewest Glenmore Park, the discharge date may be known further ahead, which can give time for a site visit before a ramp goes in.

Weather matters more out here than in the city. Rocky View County says Priority 1 arterial roads can take up to 36 hours to clear after a snowfall, and Priority 2 collector roads are targeted within 60 hours after the snow stops. If a storm lands in the days before a discharge, tell us about your road and your lane, and plan to have the driveway itself cleared to the door. For home care after discharge, the central intake is Community Care Access, and anyone can make the referral with the patient’s agreement.

Homes here, and what fits in them

Springbank homes are single-detached houses on country residential lots, and across Rocky View County 93% of occupied homes are single-detached. What we need to know first is the approach. Where can the truck park? Is the path to the door gravel, pavers, lawn or a paved drive? Is the best entry the front door, the garage or a walkout at the back? A long walk from the truck is manageable, but loose gravel, a slope or steps without a rail all change how we plan the carry, and we would rather know before we arrive.

Ramps take the same thinking. A modular aluminum ramp stands on multi-positional base feet rather than concrete, and it can sit on a driveway, a walkway or level ground, but the bottom has to land on firm, level ground with room to turn a wheelchair. On a large lot, the right answer is often not the front steps but whichever entrance has the lowest rise and a hard surface leading to it. Send us photos of each option and the height from the ground to the top of each threshold.

Discharge coming up

Coming home from hospital in the next day or two?

Phone us with the discharge date and what the care team has recommended. We book delivery to arrive before the patient does, whether they are leaving Foothills Medical Centre, Peter Lougheed Centre, Rockyview General Hospital or South Health Campus. Same-day delivery depends on stock and the time you call, so the earlier the better.

Equipment rentals in Springbank: questions

How long does it take to get equipment to Springbank?
Springbank is about 29 minutes from our downtown address, the shortest drive of any acreage area we serve. Same-day delivery is often possible when the equipment is in stock and you call early. For a discharge, phone as soon as the date is set.
Is there a delivery charge for a Springbank acreage?
We confirm any delivery charge for your address when you book. Tell us at the same time about the gate, the length and surface of the lane, and where we can park, so the delivery window we give you is realistic.
Can a modular ramp sit on gravel or a lawn?
The ramp stands on base feet with a large footprint and needs no concrete, but it does need firm, level support, especially at the bottom landing. A paved driveway or a solid walkway is the easiest base. On gravel or grass, we look at the ground first and may suggest a different entrance.
What if it snows the day before delivery?
County roads are cleared in priority order, and smaller roads can take a couple of days after a storm. If snow puts your delivery at risk, we phone you to agree a new window. Having the lane and the path to the door cleared makes the biggest difference on the day.
Do I need a permit for a rental ramp in Rocky View County?
Springbank is in Rocky View County, not the City of Calgary, so check with the County. Tall ramps and large platforms may be treated more like decks. We give you the ramp length, height and platform sizes to make that check straightforward.
