There is no need to risk accidents, back strain, or muscle ache by carrying heavy materials from floor to floor, when a dumbwaiter can do the work for you. A dumbwaiter is a small elevator installed to facilitate easy transportation of materials from one floor to the other; and while its name might be light-hearted, its function is anything but light. A residential or commercial dumbwaiter can be an excellent addition to a home or business, to significantly reduce the work involved in moving whatever needs to be moved across multiple levels. Safety always comes first, and dumbwaiters are designed to carry a wide range of materials, from lighter items like dinnerware, to heavy items like groceries and luggage. If you’re in the market for a sensible solution to running the stairs, these handy inventions might be the solution for you. If you’re faced with mobility challenges due to aging or living with a disability, a dumbwaiter can reduce your burden so that you’ll not cause further strain on your body by carrying objects around your house.
As you’re deciding which size and model dumbwaiter might be right for you, it’s important to take its purpose into consideration, and Preferred Elevator can help you assess and determine your exact need. We install, improve, update, and maintain dumbwaiters throughout all towns in Maryland, from Bethesda to Rockville to Fulton. If you’re beginning the process of adjusting your home for future accessibility needs, a dumbwaiter is an excellent place to start.
In commercial applications, dumbwaiters can ferry food from kitchens up to hungry hotel guests, transport bank documents from one office to another, and safely deliver medical files and equipment from one floor to another in hospitals and doctor’s offices. Available in wood and stainless steel, we provide installation of dumbwaiters for both residential and commercial customers, in a variety of options to fit your needs and budget.

Geoff did a thorough inspection of my elevator explaining how the system worked etc. He changed the backup battery and was meticulous inspecting every floor. He was friendly, courteous and it was obvious he knew his stuff having been in the industry for so long

Our experience with Preferred Elevator Company was positive and professional. Their troubleshooting and refurbishing of our residential elevator represented quality workmanship and attention to customer communication. Our elevator was installed by the previous homeowner over 25 years ago. When service was needed this year, we contacted the elevator manufacturer who suggested we call Preferred Elevator Company. We were pleased with their support.

I have used Preferred Elevator Company for years for maintenance but this week I had a minor emergency. My elevator broke with perishable items inside. I couldn’t get it open. They were terrific. Came when I needed them and took care of the problem right away. You don’t regret calling them.

They came out to fix a chair lift for me. The tech was on time. Unfortunately he informed me he didn't know prices. Ken, the owner, called me and was very helpful and worked with me. Thank you, Ken.
Urgent Safety Notice
Elevators installed with more than 4 inches of “gap space” between the hoistway doors and the elevator car doors can pose a serious safety risk. Children may become entrapped in the space and could be seriously injured or killed. This risk can be reduced with the proper installation of space guards at each floor.
