Depending on your site and the industry you operate in, you might need to investigate different types of service lifts. Basic dumbwaiter lifts (such as the lifts we supply) are ideal for a small commercial business, and getting this lift installed is surprisingly quick and easy. They are a perfect fit for domestic homes and can be especially useful for seniors or anyone who struggles with going up and down flights of stairs. Installing a basic lift can help you and your team understand how your new service lift will affect your day-to-day life, and to what extent it will save you time and energy.

Using service lifts can also help your company to improve the quality of service you offer and are seen as standard in some industries. Food-based industries, in particular, should certainly consider adding at least one small service lift to their kitchen. Using service lifts in a kitchen allows food to arrive in perfect condition and at the perfect temperature. It keeps the transportation of food smooth and free of mess, minimizing stress and labour. 

It also reduces the chance of accidents on the way to and from the table! In a busy kitchen, the chance of falls or other accidents is high. If you add endless trips up and down a flight or two of stairs, laden with heavy food trays, the probability of an accident is much, much greater.

Dumbwaiter lifts are exceptional for use in the home or business. For example, they're ideal for kitchens, hotels, and restaurants. In fact, dumbwaiters are often known as "food lifts", and have been used for hundreds of years. 

Dumbwaiter lifts are small, compact, and easy to install. They're also subtle, so you needn't worry about a chunky, unsightly metal lift sitting in the middle of a room. Service lifts are often indispensable in buildings with several floors - after all, who wants to go up and down all those stairs? They also keep hot food hot, and cold food cold. If you're transporting delicate items - for example, many people enjoy afternoon tea, but there are a lot of delicate, breakable teacups involved! - the lifts are smooth, steady, and reliable. 

If you're uncertain about what you and your business might need get in contact with us and we can propose what we think will be the best model to suit your particular application. A traditional 50kg or 100kg dumbwaiter lift might be useful as a starting point however if you need more industrial, heavier goods transported or something more bespoke we can suggest a larger capacity goods lift from our product range that can hopefully assist in transporting your goods between levels.

As a quality UK supplier and installer, our technical team helps ensure your kitchen lift is installed trouble-free. We are happy to meet with you and discuss the ideal service or dumbwaiter lift you require and will draw up the plans for the project. We also certify all of our work to ensure it has met all health and safety standards. Simply put, you can have confidence that your new service lift will meet all possible safety standards. 

In order to prepare for the installation of your dumbwaiter lift, a representative from our lift company will visit you onsite and carryout a full in-depth site survey. During this initial visit we will discuss at length what exactly you require from your new service lift and we can recommend the most appropriate model. Typically, the kitchen lift equipment  for a 2 floor installation will take between one and two days to fit. Prior to starting any works you will be issued with a full programme of works detailing the starting day and time, duration of works and completion day.

Our installation team is highly trained and have years of experience. Upon completion, our equipment is officially commissioned by ourselves, and relevant documentation handed across.

Heavy Goods Lifts and Lifts Trolleys are a little more heavy-duty. While a basic dumbwaiter lift is designed primarily for food, a lifting trolley can carry much heavier goods. In fact, they can carry around 100-1000kg of weight. These lifts are aimed towards warehouses and any business that carries heavy goods and pallets.

It's possible that a business could need two different types of service lift. For example, a lighter dumbwaiter lift could be used in the kitchen or somewhere else in the building, primarily for domestic use. If the building has a warehouse or some kind of industrial goods area, a heavy goods lift or lift trolley would be perfect for that area. 

Speak to our installation team if you think you need more than one service lift or two different types. There are differences in installation and price that will need to be considered. There are also significant differences in what a heavy goods lift can handle. Since their upper limit is 2000kg, you will need to identify what equipment your business needs to transport, and the estimated combined weight of each load would be. Buying a lift that's just about able to lift what you need is a bad idea. Always make sure your lift can go above and beyond what you'll need to carry. 

While a service lift with a lower weight limit may be cheaper, in the long run, it could cause damage, and may even lead to serious accidents. Always play it safe, and speak to our installation team. Be frank about your needs, and we'll do our best to help you. 

If you run food outlets, hotels, pubs, a major department store or even an office complex, your business could likely benefit from installing a service lift. In the hospitality industry, the most common use for service lifts is to transport food to and from the kitchen, but service lifts also offer a suitable means of moving laundry. This can be very useful, as the more traditional laundry chute method is determinedly one way only! 

Ideally, a hotel should consider two different service lifts. One can be used in the kitchen for transporting food, and another can be used as a laundry chute. 

Simply put, if your business in any way involves transporting items from one floor to another (especially food!) you would likely benefit from installing a service lift. If you're unsure, why not speak to a professional about when and how your lift would be installed, and what kind of price you'd be looking at for installation, servicing, and maintenance. Once we have completed a site survey we can offer the information you need to decide where on your site you should place your lift for optimal convenience. 

Time is money, and you can rest assured that installing high-quality service lifts could save you and your team a lot of both!
