DUMBWAITERS
Residential Dumbwaiters
Dumbwaiters were originally used to bring food up from a basement kitchen up to the dining room. Today many homes have dumbwaiters going from the garage to the kitchen for groceries, from the upper-level rooms to the basement for laundry or even to carry firewood from the basement to the upper floors. In today’s urban centers, homes are being built on smaller pieces of land, one floor stacked on top of another, requiring the residents to carry heavy loads up and down a large number of stairs. This can be dangerous for anyone, but especially for the elderly. Installing a dumbwaiter in your home may be the answer.
Dumbwaiters travel within a hoist-way carrying various objects. The car (the box that carries the load) moves within the hoist-way along a guide rail to keep it in place. Cables and pulleys are generally used to lift and lower the car.

Our residential dumbwaiters are available in powder-coated steel, or stainless steel cars. These units have the lift capacity of 100 or 200-pound net loads. They include a roll top gate (standard) or you can upgrade to a metal bi-part gate. A removable & adjustable metal shelf is also available. Safety is assured with standard slack cable monitoring device, car safeties, top final-limit switches, and UL® /cUL® certified controllers.
The dumbwaiter excels at transporting everything from delicate items, foods, files or laundry from floor to floor, to heavy items such as groceries, firewood in a residential application. Custom car sizes allow Waupaca to build dumbwaiters to meet your specific lift needs.
