Residential dumbwaiters can help transport laundry from floor to floor
Residential dumbwaiters make a world of difference, just like home elevators, stairlifts, and wheelchair lifts. When it comes to transporting items throughout your home, you may find that you need assistance, and a dumbwaiter is a perfect solution. Some homes are larger and have a lot of floors, which make a dumbwaiter ideal. Also, mobility issues could be another reason that a dumbwaiter could come in handy. If you are considering adding a dumbwaiter to your home, then there are three essential questions that you should ask to know if this is the right choice.
Do You Have Any Home Constraints?
For our mechanics to install residential dumbwaiters, construction must take place to build the shaft where the dumbwaiter will be located. Many factors impact where the unit can be located. Examine your home to see if there are at least four square feet of space to build a hoistway. Then, your Contractor and Preferred Elevator can work hand in hand to find the best solution. Considering these factors are essential before you can move on to the installation process.
What Items Do You Need Your Lift to Transport?
The weight and size of the items that need to move from floor to floor determine the dumbwaiter’s size. It would be best if you had in mind what items you would like the lift to carry. Will it be groceries? Laundry? Cleaning materials and supplies? Residential dumbwaiters typically have a weight capacity of 100-200 pounds. Keep that in mind while determining if a dumbwaiter is right for you.
Do You Need a Specific Travel Height?
Before our mechanics install your dumbwaiter, we will make a site visit to determine a few factors. In the meantime, you should think about where in your home you want the structure to be located and how far you want it to travel. Having this in mind will help determine your specific needs.
