Product Description
The EAIS PBTL-B is a gravity-fed basket lowerator designed to hold a stack of dishwash baskets and present the top basket at a consistent working height as each one is removed. The mechanism is spring-loaded — entirely passive, with no motor, no power supply, and no moving parts beyond the rising platform itself. As the stack reduces, the platform rises gradually to keep the next basket at the same comfortable height throughout the shift.
During a busy service, warewashing stations can become disorganised quickly. Operators reaching into low trolleys or managing loose stacks of baskets on a worktop adds unnecessary movement and slows the rhythm of the wash cycle. A lowerator removes that friction — the basket is always at hand, always at the right height, and the area around the dishwasher stays tidier as a result. Over a long service, that consistency adds up.
- Stainless steel construction throughout — robust and straightforward to clean
- No power connection required — spring mechanism operates entirely passively
- Presents baskets at working height throughout the full service period
- Reduces operator bending and reaching at the warewashing station
- Supports a more controlled, organised workflow during peak periods
The unit sits on the floor within the warewashing area. Before ordering, it is worth confirming that your existing dishwash baskets are compatible in terms of footprint — baskets are not supplied with the unit. For very high-throughput operations running multiple dishwashers simultaneously, running two lowerators in parallel or stepping up to a higher-capacity model may be a more practical arrangement.
This lowerator is well suited to restaurants, cafés, staff restaurants, and contract catering sites where a single dishwasher handles the bulk of warewashing. If you are unsure whether it suits your basket specification or station layout, the team are happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The lowerator is designed to accommodate standard commercial dishwash basket footprints, but basket dimensions do vary between manufacturers. Before ordering, measure your existing baskets and check the lowerator's internal platform dimensions — if you share your basket specification with us, we can confirm compatibility before you commit.
- A single PBTL-B works well alongside a single dishwasher in restaurants, cafés, and similar operations. For sites running two or more dishwashers simultaneously, running a lowerator at each station is generally the more practical solution, and for very high-throughput operations a heavier-duty model may be worth considering.
- No — the unit is entirely passive and requires no electrical connection or plumbing. It is designed to be positioned on the floor at your warewashing station and used straight away, which keeps setup simple and avoids any additional installation cost.
