Dumbwaiter Lifts – Transporting Laundry, Food, and More with Ease

Gartec Dumbwaiters are a popular home lift choice for transporting small-load goods (up to 150kg) such as documents, food, laundry, or equipment between floors. Often a popular choice for some of our commercial environments such as restaurants and hotels, they are also often chosen by homeowners because they are economical, easy to install and provide a discreet option making lives easier by avoid carrying items up and down the stairs or to assist people with mobility restrictions from carrying heavy items between floors.

About Dumbwaiter Lifts

We know that continuously traversing the stairs at home can be exhausting, and if you need to carry more than a handful of items at once, you end up wondering if there’s an easier way to move more than a handful of items at once. 

If you no longer have the ability to carry many items all at once, and you often have the need to transport small-load goods at home with ease, Gartec has the ideal solution. Able to transport up to 150kg of food, laundry, documents, equipment, or anything else between the floors of your home, a dumbwaiter is one of our more popular choices of service lifts and platform lifts when it comes to enhancing the accessibility of private homes – making your home work for you. 

Widely used in commercial environments like restaurants and hotels, document, food, and laundry dumbwaiter lifts are also a great economical choice for homeowners due to the simplicity of installation and the discreet solutions they provide.

What Can You Expect from Your Dumbwaiter Lift?

Here at Gartec, we have three options available when it comes to the installation of your new dumbwaiter. The standard model, which simply transports loads of up to 150kg between floors, our double models with a bank of two residential dumbwaiters, which are ideal for transporting food where temperature control is necessary, and the bottom drive models, which are designed with the reduction in headroom requirements in mind. 

All of these options are simple in design and highly durable. This means that they are more than capable of assisting in the transportation of small goods, and with a fast and easy installation requiring no motor room or load-bearing shaft, you can have your dumbwaiter up and running in no time. 

Using a Gartec dumbwaiter is as simple as holding down a button. With this, you can move heady safely and efficiently as it has a weight capacity of 150kg. Think of all the stress and strain of manual handling this can alleviate.
