Building A Manual Dumb Waiter For Second Floor Deck

 

I would suggest you approch this carefully, since you are essentially going to attempt to build a dumbwaiter or material lift. The company's who manufacture these lifts spend a lot of time and money engineering lifts that are safe. Believe it or not, a lot of accidents happen from these types of products.

We pre-assemble as much of the dumbwaiter as possible so that installation is as straightforward as possible, allowing us to pass savings along to our customers. Additional AmeriGlide Express Dumbwaiter features include a 32’ reach, a travel speed of 20 feet/minute, and the ability to make 2, 3, or 4 stops. The average homeowner spends $2,200 to build a 10x10 foot deck, $6,160 to build a 14x20 deck, and $8,800 to build a 20x20 deck. The cost to build a deck with pressure-treated wood, hardwood, or composite is about $25 per square foot, for both materials and installation. This simple elevator has functioned flawlessly for 8 years. It is so handy and so much fun to use; it is an uplifting.

It is important to get something that will not get you sued (or worse- hurt someone) if you have guests over to your house. You may want to look into an enclosed dumbwaiter as previously suggested or an Outdoor Elevator by Precision Lift Industries (www.precisionliftindustries.com). This is by far the best outdoor elevator or outdoor deck lift on the market. It doesnt need an enclosure and is safe for passengers, and is made entirely of aluminum. Elevator concepts (www.elevatorconcepts.com) builds a good dumbwaiter that you may be able to get factory direct. Precision Lift Industries may even be able to sell you the parts to put your own dumbwaiter together that will be 100% safe.
