Metal tables with three sinks and a shelf are professional stainless steel kitchen tables with three washing basins and a lower shelf — a complete washing station for kitchens with high hygiene requirements. The three basins provide a HACCP compliant pre-washing, washing and rinsing process in a single unit. The lower shelf offers conveniently accessible storage right next to the washing area — clean utensils or cleaning accessories are always at hand. The durability of stainless steel and easy disinfection ensure compliance with food industry sanitary regulations. BHS offers these tables as part of the Work Tables with Sinks and Basins range to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

A metal table with three sinks and a shelf combines a full three-stage washing system with convenient storage — a compact, functional solution for professional kitchens with high HACCP requirements.
Three-stage washing system
A table with three sinks allows organising a complete washing process in a single unit: the first sink for pre-washing and mechanical removal of dirt, the second for washing with certified cleaning agents, and the third for rinsing with clean water. This configuration prevents cross-contamination between different washing stages. The three-stage system meets HACCP requirements for washing food contact surfaces and dishes in food businesses.
Shelf as a storage solution
The lower shelf provides convenient additional storage right next to the washing area — clean utensils, washing accessories or disposable materials are immediately accessible. The shelf reduces the need for extra storage units next to the washing area. Unlike closed doors, the shelf ensures quicker access and better air circulation, promoting faster drying. Compared to the model without shelf, this configuration is optimal if storage near the washing area is important.
Advantages of stainless steel
Stainless steel is the standard material for manufacturing professional kitchen equipment in the food industry. It is corrosion-resistant, does not absorb microorganisms and safely comes into contact with food products and cleaning chemicals. The polished surface is easy to disinfect with certified food industry agents. A stainless steel table with three sinks will serve for many years under intensive daily use in HoReCa kitchens.
HACCP compliance and sanitary regulations
Food industry sanitary regulations require a specific organisation of washing areas according to HACCP principles. The three-basin configuration is a classic HACCP compliant washing scheme, ensuring a separate basin for each stage. Regular disinfection with certified food industry agents maintains the required hygiene level. BHS advises businesses on compliant washing area configurations to meet sanitary regulations.
High-capacity kitchens
Large restaurants, hotel kitchens and canteens with intensive dish turnover use three-sink tables as a central element of the washing area. The three-stage system provides greater washing capacity compared to two-basin solutions. The shelf further increases efficiency, as necessary materials are right at hand. The largest restaurants and canteens appreciate this table’s functional solution under intensive workloads.
Size selection
Tables with three sinks and a shelf are available in various widths. A larger model provides wider sinks and more comfortable work with large dishes. When choosing a size, consider kitchen space parameters, water connection location and workflow requirements. BHS helps businesses select the table size according to the specific application.
Installation and water connections
A table with three sinks requires three separate drainage connections and water supply to at least two of the outer sinks. During installation, it is important to ensure that the drainage capacity matches the simultaneous discharge from three sinks, as sudden intensive rinsing creates increased water flow. Limescale deposits in water conditions can form in the drainage system — regular descaling is recommended.
Preventive maintenance
Regular cleaning and disinfection in all three sinks maintain the necessary hygiene standard according to HACCP requirements. The shelf surface should be cleaned regularly, avoiding moisture stagnation on it. Steel surfaces can be cleaned with specialised stainless steel care products that protect against limescale deposits.
Advantages compared to two-basin solutions
A table with three sinks, compared to a two-basin solution, provides a complete HACCP compliant three-stage washing process in a single unit without using additional space or equipment. A two-basin configuration cannot ensure a full three-stage system without an extra basin. Large kitchens with intensive dish turnover gain significantly greater capacity with a three-sink table. The shelf further enhances this advantage with convenient storage near the washing area.
