Dumbwaiter Elevators

Small lifts that save a lot of steps.

A dumbwaiter moves food, laundry, files and supplies between floors so your staff do not have to carry them. Compact, quiet and far cheaper than a passenger lift.

Key Features

Simple, hygienic and quiet.

Built for daily service use with minimal maintenance and easy cleaning.

Compact Shaft

Fits into service risers and cupboard spaces where a passenger lift could never go.

Food Safe Finish

Stainless steel cabin interiors that wipe down easily and meet kitchen hygiene expectations.

Door Interlocks

Landing doors stay locked unless the car is present, so nothing can be dropped down the shaft.

Counter Height Loading

Set the opening at worktop level so staff load without bending or lifting.

Quiet Operation

Low noise drive suitable for dining rooms, clinics and guest floors.

Low Running Cost

Small motor, light loads and simple mechanics keep both power use and servicing costs down.

How We Work

From space check to handover.

Most dumbwaiter installations are quick, provided the space is confirmed properly first.

01

Space Check

We find a suitable riser or cupboard run and confirm the pit and headroom needed.

02

Design & Quote

Capacity, cabin size, loading height and number of stops agreed and quoted.

03

Manufacture

Cabin, guides and drive built to size, then factory tested before dispatch.

04

Installation

Fitted and commissioned, usually in days rather than weeks, then load tested.

05

Maintenance

Quarterly servicing is normally enough given the light loads and simple mechanics.
