Dear Customer,
The following questionnaire has been developed to inform you about some of the options available, and to assist us in arriving at an accurate estimate for your lift. Our lifts are sold as do-it-yourself kits. We have installers in certain areas of the country so call if you do not have a builder or handy man to install the unit. Since our units come in kits, they generally take about a day to install depending on the experience of the installer.
If you have any questions please feel free to call us about your needs. We are here 8:30 am – 5:30 PM CST. (405) 516 2420
To size the dumbwaiter properly add 4" to the dumbwaiter width and 3" to the dumbwaiter depth or vice/versa if the shaft already exists. So if your shaft way size is 30" w x 30" d, the container size would be 26" w x 27" d. However, this can vary according to the lift desired, check with our engineering department before building to confirm dimensions.
Most dumbwaiter shafts can be finished with 5/8" sheet rock for a smooth interior which is fireproof.
Here are the standard sizes we offer. Custom sizes are generally around 15% more than the standard ones, and we can custom build dumbwaiters up to 80" high.
All measurements are Width x Depth x Height
Note: Over half the lifts we build are custom size lifts, made to fit existing or designed shaft-ways, construction and architecture. Specify desired dimensions below and we will quote your specific needs.

Most people prefer Birch for home and many businesses do as well. The Cabinet grade birch is very durable, beautiful, and customizable just like all of our units.
The Gray Powder coated steel is great for industrial, business, firewood etc; The stainless is not only beautiful, but durable and easy to clean and approved by all institutions, health departments etc;
The Cabinet Grade Birch with Stainless Liner is a remarkably durable unit for restaurant use, and the stainless liner passes all the tests, at less money than the solid stainless.
All of our units come with Vinyl Rib Closures that snap to protect the product, and Steel Doors with interlocks that will not allow the unit to be accessed until it comes to a stop on the floor desired. We also offer Steel B’ Rated Fireproof doors accepted by building codes. You can order the unit with or without doors. You can mount our interlock doors inside the framing of the wall, then cover with your own custom cabinetry, or mount our doors on the outside of the wall, your choice. If you choose to use your own Cabinetry, we can supply you with the interlock device which you can mount on your own custom door.
It is possible to have as many as three door access points, if you need access on the first floor on the front of the unit, and access on the 2nd floor on the right hand side, etc; specify the number/location of access points below. The more access points, the higher the price...
All units require a dedicated 110v 4 gain outlet within 6’ of the top of the unit.
Mount two ¾” of plywood screwed together in the top of the lift shaft. You will mount the lift winch and electrical components to this surface.
