Low Headroom Dumbwaiter Lifts

The low headroom dumbwaiter lifts from S&D Lifts are intended for buildings where the headroom on the upper floor is insufficient to accommodate a conventional top drive lift. Our bottom-drive system solves this problem.

TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS WITH A LOW-HEADROOM DUMBWAITER

Our low-headroom dumbwaiter lift is a service lift with a difference: the double chain drive has the winding unit placed at the bottom of the lift shaft, under the car, in a separate machine area. This enables it to be installed in locations where there isn’t enough headroom to fit a conventional service lift.

The access door to this lift is normally located under the serving sill. The lift occupies the same shaft plan size as a conventional top drive lift system – the only difference is that the sill height at the bottom floor has to be a minimum of 900mm.

We can supply different finishes for the lift car and landing door that suit any environment or requirement. This includes graded stainless steel suitable for food hygiene or chemical applications, or marine-grade stainless steel.

We can also supply painted finishes, which are more suitable for domestic applications, enabling the lift to blend seamlessly with its surroundings.
