Sensor activated LED efficient lighting is standard along with 5.6 inch TFT display screens showing car travel direction, door sequence and floor-level reached along with car temperature. This system can be adapted to show weather reports, logos or other corporate information while passengers are travelling.

Advances in control engineering enable us to diagnose faults and reset equipment remotely, reducing the inconvenience of lifts out of service.

The already efficient drive systems can be augmented with the inclusion of our recently developed energy recovery system which can cut annual running costs by as much as 45%.  This gives the lift an A+ energy rating.  Our lifts allow full compliance with BREEAM Regulations.

Other options include 3D door detectors which will reverse car door closing as people approach the lift, therefore removing the risk of injury to older or frail passengers. Another benefit of this option is that it much reduces the possibility of damage to the door systems when loading goods.

Dumbwaiter Lifts

Fondly known as the dumbwaiter in the UK, the otherwise named “microlift” is a small freight elevator used for carrying objects rather than people (usually items like crockery and small supplies) between multi-level floors of buildings.

Here at Olympic Lifts we know that transferring goods across your production levels quickly, safely and efficiently is a top priority for many businesses from hospitality and catering industries to the public sector, and beyond. UK Dumbwaiter lifts are a great solution for this business process.

Fondly known as the dumbwaiter in the UK, the otherwise named “microlift” is a small freight elevator used for carrying objects rather than people (usually items like crockery and small supplies) between multi-level floors of buildings.

The Microlift dumbwaiter is Europe’s largest selling range of service lifts. Its modest size makes the transportation of heavy, hot or awkward goods simple. This lift operates inside a rapidly erected, structure supported framework, requiring only minimal builders work, even though the lift is able to travel up to twelve stops.

The range consists of four 50kg and two 100kg lifts, offering a wide choice of car sizes ‘off-the-shelf’. Part of the range includes the Low Headroom model (this may be necessary should your premises have limited ceiling space. It allows the motor to be installed at the side, reducing the height of the structure required for the lift to operate in).

It takes just 1-2 days to install a 2-floor lift. Specially trained fitters will install your dumbwaiter in the UK with minimal disruption to your premises. They will provide on-site training in the safe operation of the equipment once the installation has been completed.

After we have installed your Microlift the builder will clad the framework and decorate to your choice. Olympic Lifts then return to commission, test and ‘CE’ mark the lift. So, within a matter of days, you will have a fully-fitted dumbwaiter working for you, to make your life easier.

Features at a glance:

  • five 50kg and two 100kg models offering a wide choice of car sizes ‘off the shelf’
  • non-standard sizes and additional capacity are also available
  • installation in just 1-2 days for a 2-floor lift, with minimal disruption
  • free survey and expert guidance with no obligation
  • structure supported for easy installation
  • ‘rise and fall’ shutters supplied as standard
  • hinged doors available as an option
  • interlocked entrances for extra safety
  • quiet and efficient high-power motor

  • stainless steel available as an option
  • robust push buttons, fully automatic control
