Residential Dumbwaiters

Lifting aids, like dumbwaiters, have been used for thousands of years both in construction and residential settings. The passenger elevator is, however, a much newer device, dating back only about 150 years. This is in part due to the fact that there were a number of safety concerns posed by elevators up until the middle of the 1850’s, when the first safety elevator was developed.

There are a number of different residential dumbwaiter manufacturers and many models to choose from. Electric dumbwaiters can typically be classified as either a custom built dumbwaiter or a dumbwaiter kit.
