A dumbwaiter is a compact freight elevator designed to move items, not passengers. Restaurants, hotels, laboratories and hospitals use them to send supplies between floors, and in recent years they have become a sought-after feature at home for groceries, laundry, luggage and recycling.
We supply the Jeeves Econolift for houses and the Jeeves Pro for commercial buildings. For the basics, read what a dumbwaiter is and how it works.
The Jeeves Econolift is a budget-friendly residential dumbwaiter that suits homes where space is limited.
It is a smart addition to a multi-level home that has no room, or no need, for a full elevator.
Engineered for demanding commercial use, the Jeeves Pro handles high-volume settings such as restaurants, hotels, medical facilities and offices.
Think about everything you carry up and down stairs in a week: grocery bags, laundry, cases of water, holiday boxes. A Jeeves dumbwaiter moves all of it while you walk up with your hands free. We supply them for single-family homes, townhouses, restaurants and offices in Chicago, Naperville, Peoria and Springfield.
We can work from your architect’s plans on a new build or find a path through an existing house. The consultation and the written estimate are free.

Wherever the stops line up. A garage or basement directly below a kitchen or pantry is the classic arrangement.
Once the shaft is ready, the dumbwaiter itself is typically installed in a few days.
Yes. Multi-level townhouses are good candidates, because daily life in them involves so many trips on the stairs.
Yes. The doors are interlocked, so they open only when the car is at that floor. A dumbwaiter is for goods and must never carry people.
