A Stannah Microlift 50kg combination through-car dumbwaiter was chosen for the safe movement of food and tableware aboard the latest addition to the Irish Navy – the LÉ Samuel Beckett, an offshore patrol vessel dedicated to fishery and maritime protection duties.

The Stannah Microlift 50kg combination food lift operates over a distance of 2820mm, between the main galley and the ward room and waste disposal room on the upper level.

To accommodate the space constraints of this singular environment, Stannah manufactured the food lift 50kg to the site specific dimensions of 715mmW x 775mmD.

Driven by a quiet, high-power motor, and finished in brushed stainless steel for hygienic durability, the service lift 50kg features rise-and-fall shutters with interlocked entrances for extra safety during transit.

Senior Contracts Manager, Steve Bason, comments: “Stannah was able to supply the Microlift 50kg to specific dimensions; and its through-car capability maximised its function – critical considerations in a singular environment where space was at a premium.”
