Hazardous Location Dumbwaiters
Commercial dumbwaiters are an important part of logistics in various industries, especially in hazardous environments where the safe delivery of goods is absolutely crucial. They are primarily used to move heavy objects between floors in a building and in hazardous spaces where it is unsafe for a human being to carry the items manually.
Why Hazardous Locations Need Dumbwaiters
Hazardous locations which include industrial plants, chemical facilities and oil refineries can all benefit from the installation of specialized dumbwaiters, which deal with challenging conditions and comply with strict safety rules. These devices must be composed of long-lasting, non-reactive materials that can withstand exposure to corrosive chemicals, extreme heat and cold and potentially explosive surroundings.
Space-Saving
Minimal footprint required for installation.
Labor Reduction
Automate repetitive vertical transport tasks.
Enhanced Safety
Reduce risk of injury from carrying heavy loads.
Smooth Operation
Precision leveling and soft start/stop.

Use Cases
Self-Supporting Steel Hoistway Dumbwaiter
A self-supporting steel hoistway dumbwaiter is a
complete vertical transportation system. It is
supplied with an integrated structural steel enclosurethat helps eliminate the need for a conventionally constructed masonry or a framed shaft. Such a system can greatly reduce installation times and construction costs. It can also help in the reduction of cumbersome and time-consuming coordination between various trades. The engineered steel structure serves as the hoist way as well as the support framework for the dumbwaiter equipment. It provides a compact, durable and code-compliant installation for new constructions and retrofit applications. It is available in fire-rated and non-fire-rated configurations and can be installed in restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, offices, schools and residential buildings. This self-supporting dumbwaiter is an ideal option for wherever the efficient movement of food, supplies, documents and materials between
floors is a requirement.
