Equipment stand Stalgast 9701600

A base unit forms the foundation beneath professional catering equipment, raising hobs, grills or sinks to a comfortable working height while creating organised storage space below. By supporting the weight of heavy appliances and the loads placed on them, it prevents strain on worktops and ensures stability during daily use. The enclosed cupboard or shelving beneath keeps ingredients, utensils or cleaning supplies within reach, reducing movement across the kitchen and maintaining a tidy workspace.

This Stalgast base unit is constructed as a rigid frame that bolts directly to the floor or to adjacent units, forming a continuous run of work surfaces. The height of 600 mm is standardised for ergonomic food preparation, allowing staff to work without bending or stretching. The depth of 565 mm matches the footprint of most professional appliances, so the unit sits flush with equipment placed on top, creating a seamless line along the kitchen.

The 1200 mm width provides ample space for a single large appliance or two smaller ones side by side, such as a bain-marie and a hot cupboard. The open interior can be fitted with adjustable shelves or left as a single compartment, depending on the kitchen's storage needs. No internal fittings are supplied, so the space is organised with standard catering shelving, wire racks or pull-out trays.

Assembly involves positioning the unit, levelling it with adjustable feet, and securing it to the floor or to neighbouring units. Once in place, appliances are bolted to the top surface to prevent movement during use. The unit's footprint of 1200 by 565 mm dictates the space it occupies on the kitchen floor, so it is placed where it will not obstruct walkways or service doors.

Cleaning is limited to wiping down the exterior surfaces and the interior storage area, as no moving parts or electrical components are present. The materials used are chosen for resistance to moisture and cleaning chemicals, ensuring the unit remains hygienic and structurally sound over years of use.
