Question 1

What thickness stainless steel worktop is recommended for commercial kitchen work tables?

Accepted Answer

Kitco fabricates commercial kitchen work table tops in 1.0, 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 mm thick Grade 304 stainless steel. For general food preparation (vegetable prep, pastry work, assembly), 1.2 mm is the standard commercial specification. For heavier-duty applications involving impact from meat cutting boards, heavy equipment and continuous abrasion (butchery, bakery production tables), 1.5 or 2.0 mm tops are recommended for their increased rigidity and extended service life under heavy use.

Question 2

Can work tables be fabricated with integrated equipment cutouts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kitco fabricates work tables with cutouts in the worktop surface for integrated equipment including commercial sinks, waste chutes, built-in scales, mixer bases and post-mounted food processors. Cutout dimensions and edge treatment (formed lip, flat flush or raised surrounding edge) are specified at the drawing stage and fabricated as part of the table top. Equipment cutouts eliminate the gap between a separate table and a separate sink, creating a single hygienic stainless steel work and wash surface.

Question 3

What undershelf and storage options are available on fabricated work tables?

Accepted Answer

Kitco's work tables are fabricated with optional undershelf storage: solid stainless steel lower shelves, chrome wire undershelf units, drawer packs in 1 to 3 drawer configurations, and lockable door enclosures beneath the worktop. Combination options (undershelf on one side, drawer packs on the other) are available. All undershelf storage is specified at the drawing stage and fabricated as integral components of the table frame, not bolt-on accessories.

Question 4

What leg height options are available for stainless steel work tables?

Accepted Answer

Kitco fabricates work table legs with adjustable feet covering a height range of 600 mm to 900 mm from floor to worktop surface, allowing precise levelling on uneven kitchen floors. Standard worktop height for standing food preparation in commercial kitchens is typically 850–900 mm. Lockable castor assemblies are available as an alternative to fixed feet for tables that need to be repositioned for cleaning access or layout changes. All leg heights are confirmed at the drawing stage.
