Table with Shelf

A roller table with shelf combines a roller transport surface with a lower shelf for storing racks and auxiliary materials, providing a dual-function solution for the dishwashing workstation. The shelf allows you to store rack reserves and other accessories right at the workstation without unnecessary movement. This combined solution is popular in HoReCa businesses, where both rack transport and storage capacity are key priorities.

Advantages of the shelf in a roller table

The lower shelf in a roller table provides a permanent storage space for rack reserves, auxiliary materials and other accessories needed in the washing process. Storing everything required right at the workstation reduces the time staff spend walking to separate shelves. An organised shelf area reduces chaos during peak hours when the flow of dishes is high and every second counts. The constant availability of rack reserves ensures an uninterrupted washing process.

Advantages of the roller and shelf combination

The combination of rollers and shelf in one table is more convenient than two separate elements—a roller table and a separate shelf. A single unit takes up less space and provides a unified workstation where all necessary resources are accessible from one position. Space saving is an important consideration in many commercial kitchens where width is limited. BHS helps calculate the optimal table size according to the space layout.

HACCP compliance with shelf configuration

A roller table with shelf fully complies with HACCP hygiene requirements set by food safety regulations. Both the roller surface and the shelf are made of stainless steel, which does not absorb bacteria or moisture. Daily cleaning of the shelf is essential, as it can accumulate food residues from the adjacent washing process. HACCP-compliant cleaning of the roller table with shelf is carried out together with the entire table surface after each shift.

Comparison with the shelf-free option

When choosing between a table with shelf and Table without Shelf, consider storage needs and cleaning priorities. A table without shelf is easier to clean and suitable for mobile equipment use under the table. A table with shelf is ideal if storing rack reserves at the workstation is more important than the advantages of an open lower section. BHS helps choose the right option.

Roller operation efficiency

The roller surface ensures efficient rack transport with minimal physical effort from staff. Rotating stainless steel rollers reduce friction between the rack and the table surface, allowing even heavy full racks to be moved easily. Using a roller table significantly speeds up the dish cycle, reducing the time racks are held on the table before further movement. The speed of the washing process depends directly on the efficiency of the rack transport system.

Shelf size and capacity

The shelf size in a roller table matches the table’s overall width and depth, providing maximum storage capacity. The shelf is deep enough for horizontal rack storage so that racks do not slide out during shifts. The shelf height from the floor allows easy placement and removal of racks with minimal bending. BHS helps check if the specific roller table shelf size matches the required rack dimensions.

Stainless steel durability

Stainless steel provides the roller table with shelf the necessary durability for intensive daily use in a damp working environment. The steel surface, rollers and shelf are resistant to heat, moisture and chemical cleaning agents. The investment in a stainless steel roller table pays off with a long service life and minimal maintenance costs.

Efficient dish flow at the dishwashing machine

A roller table with shelf ensures a fast rack flow from the pre-washing workstation to the dishwashing machine inlet. Staff place racks on the roller surface and with one push they reach the machine inlet side. The shelf storage space provides constant availability of rack reserves to start the next batch without delay. Such an organised workstation significantly speeds up the entire pre-washing stage.

Space planning with a roller table with shelf

The placement of a roller table with shelf should be planned according to the dishwashing machine inlet direction and staff movement paths. The table must provide sufficient work surface space for rack reception and pre-washing. The shelf’s location underneath means staff can simultaneously access both the roller surface and the shelf without changing position. BHS helps plan the optimal pre-washing zone layout with a roller table with shelf.

Maintenance and daily cleaning

Daily maintenance of a roller table with shelf includes disinfecting the rollers and table surface, as well as cleaning the shelf after each shift. The shelf is in contact with dirty dishes and rack reserves, so its cleaning is essential for meeting HACCP requirements. Stainless steel surfaces are easy to clean with a standard disinfectant solution without the need for special tools. BHS advises on the correct maintenance procedures for a specific table model.

Frequently asked questions

How many racks fit on the shelf?

Shelf capacity depends on the table width and rack size. BHS helps determine the most suitable table size according to the number of racks.

Can the shelf height be adjusted?

Shelf height is usually fixed in the design. BHS helps check the available configurations for a specific model.
