What are Dumbwaiters?

Dumbwaiters, also called mini-loads, are small elevators designed to transport small loads from one floor to another without the need to go up and down stairs, and are often used in hotels, restaurants, hospitals and even homes.

What are the main characteristics of the Dumbwaiters?

Although they are custom-designed, dumbwaiters are usually small in size, as they are specially designed for the vertical movement of smaller loads. They usually have vertical or hinged sliding guillotine doors, as well as fixed or removable trays, which are very useful for the distribution of the products to be transported. They are usually low consumption equipment and their capacity may vary depending on the model selected, between 50 kg and 100 kg.

The Electric Lifts are small hoists designed for the vertical displacement of small loads, with a capacity of between 50 kg and 100 kg, during a 35 m travel and with a nominal speed of 0.31 and 0.39 m/s.

These units are designed with manual double-leaf stainless steel guillotine doors, and incorporate removable intermediate trays for better load distribution.

They can operate with a 230 V single-phase motor at 50 Hz/60 Hz or with a 400 V three-phase motor at 50 Hz/60 Hz, and thanks to their electric drive with frequency inverter, they can perform soft starts and stops, operating very quietly.

The most standardized uses are:

  • Dish racks for the hospitality industry (restaurants, bars, cafeterias and hotels)
  • Mini-loads for shoe stores or other types of stores
  • Bookends for libraries or bookstores
  • Montainstrumental for hospitals, clinics or pharmacies
  • Office document holders
  • Transporting clothes and household goods, allowing for less physical effort and greater order in the house.

The Hydraulic Platform Jacks are platforms designed for the vertical displacement of small loads, with a capacity of between 50 kg and 100 kg, for a maximum travel of 16 m in a 4:1 ratio and with a nominal speed of 0.40 m/s.

Their drive system works by means of a single acting hydraulic cylinder with indirect traction thrust, with a nominal pressure of 30 bar or 60 bar depending on the load. They are equipped with a three-phase electric motor and pre-assembled 24 V electric control.
