A retrofit dumbwaiter fitted to the outside of the toilet block to access the upstairs area.
Background
World Vision moved into this warehouse with an upstairs store room and they wanted to be compliant with Worksafe. A dumbwaiter was needed to transfer stock and office supplies upstairs to avoid using the dangerous, narrow stairs.
Approach
To use a rack and pinion drive system, which only requires 90 mm of space within the shaft, excludes the use of a motor pit and virtually no headroom is required above the lift car, as is the case with conventional hoists. The dumbwaiter is able to lift 100 kg and attach a
simple lift shaft on the wall face
Challenges
Dumbwaiters Australia service lifts are supplied as a modular system, making it very easy to install when space is limited.
Results
“The lift is fantastic and very easy to use. We are all surprised at how quiet and smooth the lift runs. Thank you for a great result and being so easy to work with.”
Mr. Matt Knorr
