A dumbwaiter can help you transport everything from groceries and laundry to files and food trays. At DME Elevators & Lifts, our certified in-house technicians install only the highest-quality residential and commercial dumbwaiter models so you can reliably move the things you need from floor to floor.
Moving heavy or bulky items can be difficult for people with limited mobility, and dumbwaiters will make these everyday tasks easier. With multiple layouts, load sizes, and weight capacities, our dumbwaiter models are designed to meet your specific needs.
Commercial dumbwaiters are intended for places like schools, universities, manufacturing facilities, and houses of worship. They’re an ideal option when installing a passenger elevator is not feasible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a showroom where I can see a lift installed?
Yes! Schedule a visit to our Lisle showroom and take a ride on our elevators and lifts. Call us to schedule an appointment and one of our advisors will be happy to walk you through your options.
Should I buy new, buy used or rent a stair lift?
Which kind of stair lift you choose depends on your current situation and mobility needs. If your budget is a concern, you can opt for a used stair lift. If you have temporary mobility issues from a recent injury or surgery, a stair lift rental is a good option.
How long does it take to have a stairlift installed once purchased?
Straight stairlifts oftentimes can be installed within a few days of purchase. Curved stairlifts require a custom rail to fit your home, taking on average 4-5 weeks from measurement to installation.
How can I plan for a future elevator in my new home?
The best option is to work with your architect, builder and elevator company to ensure the home is equipped with an elevator-ready elevator shaft. Until the elevator is eventually needed, the space can be used as closets, each closet aligned vertically.
How high can a LULA Elevator travel?
A LULA (Limited Use Limited Application) elevator can travel up to 25’. LULAs are great for low rise public buildings that have limited space and don’t require the speed and weight capacity of a commercial passenger elevator.
If I’m considering a home elevator, when should I call you?
We’re accustomed to working with architects and home builders from inception of drawings to the finished result. DME can provide design information and advise you on the best location. We partner with your team throughout the entire process.
Can wheelchair lifts be operated independently?
Yes, all products are designed and configured for independent operation. All the wheelchair lifts can also be operated by an attendant from any of the control panel locations if the user is unable to operate the push buttons or prefers that the lift be operated by others.
