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.

Pros and Cons to Getting a Dumbwaiter Installation

Pros and Cons to Getting a Dumbwaiter Installation

When it comes to a dumbwaiter installation, there are pros and cons that come with the decision.

Do you find yourself having to lug heavy baskets of laundry up and down the stairs each day? This can be tiring, not to mention the chance of falling down the stairs in the process. To resolve this issue, you could consider getting a new dumbwaiter installation for your home. When it comes to a dumbwaiter installation, there are pros and cons that come with the decision.

Pro: Convenience

Imagine you have something heavy that you have to bring downstairs. Maybe it’s a pile of dishes. Perhaps you have some laundry. In either case, it can be a chore to carry objects up and down the stairs.

By getting a dumbwaiter installation, this will no longer be an issue with you. You can now place everything onto your dumbwaiter and simply let the dumbwaiter move everything for you. This will stop your arms from getting too tired.

Con: Noise

A dumbwaiter can make some noise during operation. This is especially true if your dumbwaiter is old or hasn’t been maintained very well. Fortunately, if you get a newer dumbwaiter model, and take good care of it, you can minimize how much noise it makes.

Pro: Safety

It can be dangerous hauling heavy objects up and down the stairs. When you carry heavy objects to the different levels of your home, it can be more difficult to maintain balance. Falling down the stairs is already a danger in and of itself, and the danger is multiplied when carrying heavy objects that can cause further damage if they fall on you. By getting a dumbwaiter installation, you can keep yourself safer since you won’t have to carry heavy items up and down the stairs anymore.
