6 A Brief History of Dumbwaiters Who invented the dumbwaiter? Thomas Jefferson In 1790

7 Monticello Thomas Jefferson s Home Charlottesville, VA.

8 Margaret Bayard Smith wrote: When he had any persons dining with him, with whom he wished to enjoy a free and unrestricted flow of conversation, and by each individual was placed a dumbwaiter, so as to make the attendance of servants entirely unnecessary, believing as he did, that much of the domestic and even public discord was produced by the mutilated and misconstructed repetition of free conversation at dinner tables, by these mute, but not inattentive listeners.

49 Benefits of Vertical Material Handling Systems Economical Efficient Health Safety Welfare Green & Sustainable Custom Designs for special purposes

50 $ $ Economical Saves space Low initial cost Material Handling Systems can reduce the number of Elevators needed and result in BIG savings

51 $ Efficient $ Smaller design can fit anywhere and reduce delivery time

52 $ Efficient $ Employee delivery time can vary

53 Efficient If (1) employee whose average salary and benefits amount to $35.00/hr (3) 20 minute trips per day up (3) 20 minute trips per day down Average work week Total cost to the employer a Week Total cost to the employer a $ hours 5 days $ $18,

54 Efficient In a larger facility an employer may have 10 or more employees Cost Escalates $182,000.00

55 Health Available Stainless Steel for easy wash down

56 Health Contaminated or hazardous materials may be transported without exposure to areas such as passenger elevators

57 Health Enclosures may be equipped with air filtration (HEPA) systems designed to reduce contaminants

58 Safety ASME 17.1 or ASME B20.1 National Electric Code and UL/CSA UL Standards for fire resistant entrances

59 Safety Avoids exposure to potential injury from carrying materials up and down stairs or in passenger elevators

60 Safety Provides a safer alternative to the use of chain hoists and fork lift trucks

61 Welfare Shoe Tube in Nike Town stores Systems can be provided in pleasant designs which can enhance the décor while increasing efficiency

62 Green & Sustainable Less Energy than an Elevator but with the same life span

63 Custom Designs Vertical material handling systems can be designed to satisfy customer specific applications. The variety of drive mechanisms, guide rail types, and flexibility of control circuitry can provide custom systems for almost any vertical transport requirement Lion s Gate Hospital, Vancouver, BC
