A Brief History of Dumbwaiters
▪ Who invented the dumbwaiter ?
Thomas Jefferson In 1790
Monticello
Thomas Jefferson’s
Home
Charlottesville, VA.
Margaret Bayard Smith wrote:
▪ When he had any persons dining with him, with whom he wished to enjoy a free and unrestricted flow of conversation, and by each individual was placed a dumbwaiter, so as to make the attendance of servants entirely unnecessary, believing as he did, that much of the domestic and even public discord was produced by the mutilated and misconstructed repetition of free conversation at dinner tables, by these mute, but not inattentive listeners.

Benefits of Vertical Material Handling Systems
▪ Economical
▪ Efficient
▪ Health
▪ Safety
▪ Welfare
▪ Green & Sustainable
▪ Custom Designs for special purposes
Economical
Saves space Low initial cost
$ $
Material Handling Systems can reduce the number of Elevators needed and result in BIG savings
Efficient $ $
Smaller design can fit anywhere and reduce delivery time
Efficient $ $
Employee delivery time can vary
Efficient
▪ If (1) employee whose average salary and benefits amount to $35.00/hr
▪ (3) 20 minute trips per day up
▪ (3) 20 minute trips per day down
▪ Average work week
▪ Total cost to the employer a Week
▪ Total cost to the employer a Year
2 hours
$35.00
5 days
$350.00
$18,200.00
Efficient
In a larger facility an employer may have 10 or more employees
Cost Escalates $182,000.00
Health
Available Stainless Steel for easy “wash down”
Health
Contaminated or hazardous materials may be transported
without exposure to areas such as passenger elevators
Health
Enclosures may be equipped with air filtration (HEPA) systems
designed to reduce contaminants
Safety
ASME 17.1 or ASME B20.1
National Electric Code and UL/CSA UL Standards for fire
resistant entrances
Safety
Avoids exposure to potential injury from carrying materials up and down stairs or in
passenger elevators
Safety
Provides a safer alternative to the use of chain hoists and fork lift trucks
Welfare
Systems can be provided in pleasant designs which can enhance the décor while increasing efficiency

Town stores
Green & Sustainable
Less Energy than an Elevator but with the same life span
Custom Designs
▪ Vertical material handling systems can be designed to satisfy customer specific applications. The variety of drive mechanisms, guide rail types, and flexibility of control circuitry can provide custom systems for almost any vertical transport requirement
