Serving bridge with 1 shelf Novameta BHS-LPL1-100-30-40

An upper shelf for the Novameta Table 1000 adds organised workspace above the main bench without taking extra floor space. It creates a second tier for ingredients, utensils or small appliances, keeping the worktop clear while keeping everything within reach.

The shelf is fixed above the table at a height that allows trays, bowls and containers to sit securely without blocking the operator's view or movement. Its flat surface supports items directly, while the open underside leaves the main worktop free for food preparation, plating or assembly. The shelf itself does not move or tilt; it is a static platform bolted to the table frame or to wall brackets where the table is mounted.

To use the shelf, the operator places items on its surface during setup or service. There are no controls or settings; the shelf simply holds whatever is loaded onto it. Weight is distributed across the full length, so heavier items are best centred to avoid tipping. The shelf remains in place during cleaning and is wiped down with the rest of the bench.

Construction is AISI 304 stainless steel, welded and reinforced to prevent sagging. The 1000 mm width matches the Table 1000, while the 300 mm depth gives enough room for standard gastronorm trays or stacked containers. The 400 mm height is measured from the table surface to the underside of the shelf, allowing clearance for hands and utensils below.

No controls are fitted; the shelf is a passive storage surface.

The 1000 mm width provides a full-length storage tier above the table, matching the bench footprint. The 300 mm depth balances capacity with reach: deep enough to hold trays or containers, yet shallow enough that items at the back remain accessible. The 400 mm height clears most hand movements and small appliances, so the shelf does not interfere with work below. AISI 304 stainless steel resists corrosion and staining, making the shelf suitable for wet or humid environments.

Cleaning is straightforward: the shelf is wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each service. Because it is welded, there are no seams or crevices that trap debris. The open underside allows the main worktop to be cleaned without obstruction.

Custom sizes are available by consultation with Novameta specialists. The shelf can be manufactured to individual width, depth or height requirements, and delivered with installation and maintenance services.

The shelf is designed for the Novameta Table 1000 and is listed in the benching and storage section of the catalogue.
