Matot Dumbwaiters & Material Lifts

When two industry leaders get together, expect great things!

Savaria acquired the Matot line of dumbwaiters, material lifts and vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs) in 2024.

Founded in 1888, Matot dumbwaiters and material lifts are used in a wide range of activities, including hospital and healthcare facilities, the hospitality sector, and a variety of retail and industrial settings.

Technology benefits:

  • Make the best use of most expensive commercial space—back-of-house operations and storage go downstairs
  • Efficient delivery of materials reduces congestion and accidents, frees up human resources for more productive tasks
  • Safe, efficient and sequestered transport of sterile or hazardous materials
  • Space-saving design, requiring 50-75% less square-footage than a freight elevator
  • Approximately 25-year base lifespan, and can be modernized with ease
