Dumbwaiters in Pennsylvania

Jeeves dumbwaiters for houses, restaurants and offices

Let a Dumbwaiter Do the Carrying

A dumbwaiter is a small freight elevator meant for objects, not people. Restaurants, hotels, labs and hospitals depend on them, and they have become a popular addition to homes for moving groceries, luggage, recyclables and shopping bags between floors.

Choose the Jeeves Econolift or our residential dumbwaiter for a house, or the Jeeves Pro for a business.

Dumbwaiter Questions

What is the difference between a residential and a commercial dumbwaiter?

A residential dumbwaiter is sized for household loads and occasional use. A commercial dumbwaiter has a higher capacity and is built to run many times a day.

Can a dumbwaiter be added to an older house?

Often, yes. We look for a vertical path through closets, a pantry or beside a chimney.

How much space does a dumbwaiter take?

About the footprint of a small closet on each floor it serves.

Is a dumbwaiter safe with children in the house?

Yes. The doors stay locked unless the car is at that floor, and the car will not move with a door open.
