UK's Leaders in Dumbwaiters & Trolley Lifts
These small lifts are perfect for the repeated movement of small loads in a range of residential and commercial environments.
At Axess 2 we provide a broad range of dumbwaiter lifts that are suitable for use within a range of situations. Whether you are looking for a dumbwaiter or trolley lift to transport food efficiently between the kitchen and dining areas in a restaurant, or are seeking a home installation to assist a disabled person, our proven service for dumbwaiter lifts can ensure that your requirements are fully met at all times.
A service lift is also of value in numerous other environments which may not immediately spring to mind. For example, they can be used for transporting goods in a shop, moving stationery between office floors, or relocating records in a medical centre or hospital. Because of this flexibility, dumbwaiters typically prove to be great assistance to any sort of business environment.
What are Dumbwaiters?
Dumbwaiters were first invented in the 19th century, although the original meaning of the phrase actually indicated a device that was more akin to a serving tray. Nonetheless, the new meaning soon became the exclusively accepted definition, and the success of dumbwaiter lifts is clearly evident from the fact that they still see such widespread use today.
Dumbwaiter lifts provide a practical and efficient solution for the transportation of goods, particularly in multi-story buildings, eliminating the necessity for manual labour. The applications of these systems encompass a broad spectrum, from residential properties seeking to effortlessly move laundry or groceries between floors, to establishments such as restaurants and hotels that rely on prompt room service. Furthermore, the compact design of dumbwaiter lifts allows for seamless integration into diverse architectural plans, without encroaching upon valuable space.
Our reliable selection of varying lifts have already been utilised within some of the UK’s most prestigious establishments, so you can always be certain of receiving the very best quality service when you choose Axess 2. For more information, please get in touch with our professional team now and we will be pleased to help meet your dumbwaiter needs.
