A refrigerated table with lift mechanism is a professional cooling worktable with a liftable or pull-out cooling unit compartment, allowing convenient cleaning of the floor and ventilation elements beneath the equipment without moving the heavy appliance from its working position in restaurants, cafés, hotels and other HoReCa businesses. The refrigerated table with lift mechanism provides an efficient solution for the HACCP required cleaning without the risk of moving the equipment — the cold unit compartment with the lift mechanism lifts or slides out, freeing access to the floor area and condenser block. This solution is particularly suitable for high-intensity kitchens where equipment must meet high hygiene standards and minimise manual labour.

A refrigerated table with a lift mechanism is a premium solution for kitchens with high hygiene standards — the lift mechanism eliminates the need to move heavy equipment for cleaning, thereby reducing labour requirements and the risk of damage during relocation. BHS offers this solution across Europe.
Advantages of the lift mechanism
A refrigerated table with a lift mechanism offers several key advantages compared to a standard refrigerated table. HACCP compliance — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism provides full access to the floor area beneath the equipment for cleaning without relocation; HACCP cleaning beneath heavy equipment is simple. Safety — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism prevents the risks of moving equipment; without relocating the equipment, the floor covering or pipes are not damaged. Convenience — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism allows two employees to perform cleaning without calling a technician to move the equipment; saves time and costs. Condenser accessibility — the condenser is also located in the liftable compartment of a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism; its cleaning and maintenance are simpler.

Operating principle of the lift mechanism
A refrigerated table with a lift mechanism uses a special liftable or pull-out design for the refrigeration unit compartment. Lift mechanism — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism with a compartment that lifts upwards using gas struts or a screw mechanism; frees the entire floor area beneath the equipment. Pull-out mechanism — an alternative refrigerated table with a lift mechanism with a compartment that pulls out forward; frees the condenser for maintenance and allows cleaning of the compartment’s side areas. Fixation — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism in the lifted position is stably fixed with support elements; there is no risk of the compartment unexpectedly sliding during cleaning. Return to working position — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism quickly lowers the compartment back; the equipment is ready for refrigeration work within minutes.
Technical characteristics and dimensions
A refrigerated table with a lift mechanism is available in various sizes to suit kitchen layouts. Width — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism in standard width 700–1500 mm; single or double door configuration depending on width. Temperature range — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism maintains an indoor temperature of +2°C to +8°C; meets the requirements for storing fresh products. Cooling system — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism typically features ventilated cooling; rapid temperature recovery after door opening in intensive use conditions. Stainless steel — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism made of stainless steel for the work surface and interior; complies with food contact surface requirements.

Cleaning and HACCP
A refrigerated table with a lift mechanism is designed to simplify the HACCP cleaning procedure. Floor area cleaning — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism lifts the unit compartment; the floor beneath the equipment is cleaned with a washing machine or by hand; water does not enter the unit compartment. Condenser cleaning — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism provides access to the condenser during maintenance; the condenser is cleaned with a compressor or a special cleaning agent once a month. Disinfection — the interior of a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism is cleaned and disinfected daily; the lift mechanism does not interfere with standard interior cleaning. HACCP documentation — cleaning beneath the refrigerated table with a lift mechanism is recorded in the cleaning log; demonstrates regular compliance with HACCP procedures.

HoReCa usage scenarios
A hotel professional kitchen with several refrigerated tables with a lift mechanism — regular floor cleaning beneath the equipment in accordance with the sanitary procedure plan; kitchen workflow is not disrupted. A catering base with intensive use — a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism allows quick and effective daily cleaning between orders.
Frequently asked questions
Does the lift mechanism increase the equipment’s height or width? A refrigerated table with a lift mechanism typically retains standard table dimensions — the lift mechanism is integrated into the unit compartment; in the lifted position, the compartment may extend higher than the base equipment, but in the working position, the dimensions are identical to a standard table. Explore the range of Refrigerated Tables.
Can a refrigerated table with a lift mechanism be used in built-in kitchen arrangements? A refrigerated table with a lift mechanism requires free space in front of or above the equipment for the lift mechanism to operate; it is important to plan this during the kitchen arrangement installation stage.
