A dumbwaiter is a compact freight elevator designed specifically for transporting items rather than passengers. Commonly used in restaurants, hotels, laboratories, and hospitals, dumbwaiters provide a convenient way to move supplies between floors. In recent years, they’ve become a sought-after feature in homes — perfect for easily moving groceries, laundry, luggage, or recycling from one level to another.
Looking for a budget-friendly way to simplify lifting and carrying between floors? The Jeeves Econolift is an excellent choice for Illinois homeowners. This residential dumbwaiter features a commercial-grade rail and trolley system, paired with a maintenance-free cable drive and motor-gear assembly for smooth, dependable operation.
Perfect for homes where space is limited, the Econolift offers a practical, space-saving solution to transport groceries, laundry, or supplies with ease.
The Jeeves Econolift is available in 100 lb. and 150 lb. weight capacities and features a beautifully finished birch wood cab. Its economical cable-drive system handles up to three stops and travels up to 35 feet at a speed of 30 feet per minute — ideal for homes without the space or need for a full elevator. It’s a smart addition for multi-level homes in Illinois looking for easier floor-to-floor item transport.
Engineered for demanding commercial use, the Jeeves Pro line includes models with 125 lb., 250 lb., 300 lb., and 500 lb. capacities. Built with a powder-coated steel cab and an optional stainless steel finish, these dumbwaiters are built to handle high-volume environments like restaurants, hotels, medical facilities, and offices across Illinois.
The winding drum system allows the unit to travel up to 80 feet at a speed of 50 feet per minute, delivering fast, reliable performance.
Each Jeeves Pro dumbwaiter comes equipped with a stainless steel bi-parting gate (with slide-up gate options), and multiple landing door styles, including bi-parting, slide-up, and swing doors — available in primed steel or stainless steel finishes. Choose the motor location that fits your layout best: above, below, or beside the hoistway.
Whether you need floor loading or counter loading, this system offers the flexibility Illinois businesses need to optimize workflow and meet ADA or code compliance requirements.
