Dumbwaiters for Homes and Businesses

Looking for an easier way to move things between floors? A dumbwaiter is a compact freight elevator made to carry objects, not people. It is safe, convenient and space-saving in both homes and commercial buildings.

Restaurants, hotels, medical labs and offices have used them for years, and they are now a sought-after feature in multi-story houses for groceries, laundry, luggage and household supplies. See the Jeeves Econolift for homes or the Jeeves Pro for business.

Dumbwaiters in Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens

A commercial dumbwaiter moves plates, trays and supplies between a kitchen and a dining room or storage floor, which saves staff from carrying loads on the stairs. Read more in dumbwaiters for restaurants.

Dumbwaiter, Stair Lift or Elevator?

A dumbwaiter carries goods only. If a person needs help with the stairs, a stair lift or home elevator is the answer, and many homes have both. Our comparison of dumbwaiters and stair lifts explains where each one fits.

Dumbwaiter FAQs

Can a dumbwaiter run from the basement to the second floor?

Yes. A dumbwaiter can serve three stops, provided the openings line up one above another.

How much weight can a home dumbwaiter lift?

It varies by model. Residential units are rated for typical household loads, and we give you the rated capacity of each option in your quote.

Does a dumbwaiter need maintenance?

Very little. An occasional service visit keeps it running smoothly.

Will a dumbwaiter help when I sell the house?

It can be an appealing convenience in a multi-level home. How much it adds depends on the property and the buyer.
