Dumbwaiter Installation

Installation, testing and commission will be carried out by our team of highly experienced engineers. Once fitted, our maintenance team will see that your system is regularly serviced and maintained to the highest standards.

Developed to meet the requirements of very short lead time market, standard dumbwaiters of 50kg and 100kg capacity are readily available from our suppliers. These service level lifts are available as two or three stop,
single or through entry machines and come complete with vertical bi-parting landing doors and their own galvanised steel structure.

The maximum travel of 4m (two stop) or 7.3m (three stop) can be easily adjusted on site. Most dumbwaiters can be supplied with either single or 3-phase drives and all car and landing finishes across the range are stainless steel, with landings having 2 hour fire ratings as standard. There is also a choice of brushed aluminium roller shutter or stainless steel vertical bi-parting door for car entrance protection.

A variety of service lifts are available depending on your needs. We are just as adept at installing high specification automated service lifts within laboratory or healthcare setting as we are at installation of dumbwaiters within residences or restaurants.
