Matot Dumbwaiters & Material Lifts by Savaria

Matot dumbwaiters and material lifts by Savaria make moving things easy. 

With a complete range of options, sizes, capacities and loading configurations, vertical material handling systems from Matot, a division of Savaria, combine efficiency, safety, and innovation. 

Standard units can be manufactured and ready for installation in as little as eight weeks. 

Engineered to last and meet the most stringent code requirements, we manufacture our dumbwaiters and material lifts in the same facilities as the world-renowned Savaria elevators, wheelchair lifts and stairlifts, so you know they’ll be robust and reliable.

Before starting your project, ask yourself these simple questions:
  1. What do you need to move?
  2. How much do you need to move at one time?
  3. How will it be loaded and unloaded?
  4. How fast does it need to get there?

Our vertical material handling experts can help you spec the best solution for your project.

Three Robust Solutions

All three solution types from our Matot line-up offer typical speeds of 50 ft/min (0.25 m/s). The ideal flight time between terminal landings is 30-45 seconds or less. Most of our systems use a reliable winding-drum drive system, but we also offer a geared traction drive for higher travel distance applications.

And we can provide customization for your specific project requirements, including integrating advanced features like automated unloading or conveyor interfaces.

Maximize Space
Two stainless‑steel material lift openings mounted side by side in a wall, each with a vertical sliding door and a control panel featuring up and down buttons to the right of each unit.

Dumbwaiters

Compact and cost-effective for smaller loads (100–750 lb / 45–340 kg), with a maximum platform area of 1560 sq in (1.01 m²) and maximum car height of 48” (1.22 m). A great solution for applications where space is at a premium. Suitable for both floor-loading and counter-loading applications.
Most Versatile
Material lift with a stainless‑steel vertical sliding door installed in a block‑wall setting, featuring a control panel with illuminated call buttons mounted to the right of the opening.

Material Lifts

Ideal for larger cargo (up to 2000 lb / 907 kg), with platform sizes up to 48” w x 90” h (1.2 m x 2.3 m) with no depth restrictions. Available in floor-loading and counter-loading models, although floor-loading is more common.
Cost Effective

VRCs

Unlimited size and capacity for industrial needs and can be interfaced with load/unload conveyors. Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors excel in commercial and industrial applications, but cannot be exposed to, or used by, the general public.
