Bespoke Dumbwaiter Lifts
Wherever food, drinks or other small goods need to be transported between floors, the BKG range of bespoke dumbwaiters offers the ideal answer. Each BKG Bespoke Dumbwaiter is tailored to meet the most exacting of requirements and each lift is built specifically to match customers’ needs.
All BKG Bespoke Dumbwaiters come with vertical bi-parting landing doors and their own galvanized steel structure. Conventional models come complete with a machine access door. Capacity, travel, speed, number of stops, car dimensions, loading, entrance type, finishes etc can all be varied to customize the lift to match the site requirements.
To satisfy hygiene demands, stainless steel shelves and floors are supplied as standard. Other stainless steel surface finishes are available as an option. A special seamless hygienic car is available for more rigorous requirements. Automatic “hands free” doors are also available to speed up the loading and unloading process. Optional car protection and heated compartments are especially useful in food transporting applications.
Special Chain Drive models are available for 3-sided access and in applications where low headroom is a problem, a bottom drive variant is available.

Dumbwaiter Lifts for Low Headroom Situations
This lift has been designed for buildings where the headroom at upper floor is insufficient to accommodate a conventional top drive lift. The double chain drive lift has the winding unit placed at the bottom of the lift shaft under car within a separate machine area. The access door is normally located under the serving sill. The lift occupies the same shaft plan size as a conventional top drive lift, with the only stipulation that the sill height at the bottom floor serviced has to be a minimum of 900mm.
Standard specification and specification variables are the equivalent (or the same) as the conventional bespoke dumbwaiters. Like all other BKG Service lifts from Shorts, this 100.45/41 model complies with the European Standard EN81-3: 2000.

Under-bar Dumbwaiter
This specialised 100kg 2-stop low headroom lift is ideal for bars, pubs and restaurants. It is effectively a serving height lift at the bottom floor (often the cellar), with a bi-parting door arrangement, but turns into a hinged door floor loading lift at its top floor. The use of a low level winding unit arrangement means that the top floor entrance will fit unobtrusively under any counter or bar

Document Lifts
Where there is a requirement to move paperwork between floors, there is no need to install a fully-fledged dumbwaiter that can handle upwards of 50kg. BKG offer two small capacity service level dumbwaiters specially designed for documents and other very light and non-bulky items.
Although rated at 5kg and 20kg with the drive at the bottom of the shaft, BKG Document Lifts are in every other respect just like their big brothers. They come complete with their own galvanized steel structure and have easy to use small hinged landing doors and just like the larger models are produced to comply with the European Standard EN81-3:2000
