Dumbwaiters are a smart, space-saving solution for efficiently transporting items between floors in both residential and commercial settings. These compact freight elevators are designed to move goods—not people—making tasks like delivering food, laundry, or medical supplies quicker and easier.
While dumbwaiters are helpful in homes, they are especially valuable in commercial spaces such as restaurants, hotels, casinos, and hospitals, where they streamline operations and improve service efficiency. However, despite their simple function, dumbwaiters are complex electro-mechanical machines that require regular maintenance to ensure safety and compliance with state codes.
Whether you’re operating a commercial dumbwaiter or have one in your home, Arrow Lift can help to keep it running safely. Our trained Technicians provide the necessary dumbwaiter service and repairs so you can continue to count on your dumbwaiter for years to come.
