Bar accessory FORCAR ACF-5190NB

A mobile bar unit designed for front-of-house service in professional catering environments, the FORCAR ACF-5190NB provides a self-contained station where drinks are prepared, displayed and dispensed. The roll-up band, mounted across the front, secends to reveal shelving or storage below and ascends to conceal it, protecting contents from dust and maintaining a tidy appearance between service periods.

The principle is simple: a flexible fabric panel, tensioned on a spring-loaded roller, travels vertically between two side guides. When the operator pulls the band down, it locks at the desired height; releasing the lock allows the spring to retract the band smoothly. This mechanism eliminates the need for doors or flaps, giving instant access without occupying floor space or requiring clearance for swing.

To use the unit, the operator first raises the band fully to expose the work surface and any internal shelves. Glassware, bottles, mixers and tools are arranged on the shelves; the worktop holds shakers, jiggers and drip trays. When service begins, the band is lowered to the chosen height, creating a partial screen that still allows interaction with customers while keeping equipment secure. At the end of service, the band is pulled down completely to enclose the contents overnight or during transport.

Construction is a single vertical column of 1000 mm height, finished in the specified blue roll-up band. The material of the band and the frame is not detailed in the reference, but the mechanism is designed for frequent operation in a busy catering setting.

Controls are limited to the locking mechanism on the band: a simple catch that secures the band at any point along its travel. No electrical supply or additional settings are required.

The 1000 mm height positions the work surface at a standard bar-top level, allowing staff to work comfortably while standing and customers to place orders without bending. The unit's footprint is not specified, but the absence of doors or side panels suggests a compact, space-saving design suitable for temporary setups or tight service areas.

Cleaning follows from the parts present: the roll-up band can be wiped with a damp cloth to remove dust or spills; the work surface and internal shelves are cleaned with standard bar sanitising solutions. The locking mechanism requires occasional lubrication to ensure smooth operation.

The ACF-5190NB is offered in the single configuration described, with the blue roll-up band as the distinguishing feature.
