Table

• Used as a robust work surface in food preparation areas, catering kitchens, and bakeries.
• Suitable for general utility in workshops, laboratories, and light industrial settings.
• Provides a hygienic surface for packaging, assembly, or inspection tasks in cleanroom environments.
• Can serve as a temporary or permanent staging area for equipment or components in warehouses.

Typical construction material (top)

For this class of equipment, tops are commonly 304-grade stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Typical construction material (frame)

Frames are often galvanised steel, as described, or sometimes fully stainless steel for enhanced hygiene and durability.

Load bearing capacity

Units of this type typically support static loads ranging from 150kg to 300kg, depending on frame gauge and design.

Adjustability

Many work tables feature adjustable feet for levelling on uneven floors; some higher-end models may offer height adjustment.

Hygiene standards

Stainless steel surfaces are generally compliant with food safety regulations, making them suitable for environments requiring regular washdowns.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning of the stainless steel top is required. Galvanised frames, especially if painted, may need periodic inspection and touch-ups to prevent corrosion.
