Serving bridge with 1 shelf Novameta BHS-LPL1-130-30-40

An upper shelf for a professional catering table creates an additional work surface above the main bench, keeping ingredients, utensils or plated dishes within easy reach while freeing the lower worktop for active preparation. The shelf is fixed above the table at a height that allows staff to slide trays or containers underneath without stooping, turning vertical space into organised storage or staging areas.

The shelf is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, welded into a single rigid frame that resists sagging under load. The front and side edges are strengthened with welded returns, preventing flex and giving a clean, safe perimeter that protects both the contents and the operator. The flat surface is uninterrupted, so trays, bowls and small appliances can be placed anywhere without tipping.

To use the shelf, it is mounted above the table on brackets or supports that are bolted to the table frame or to the wall behind. Once secured, the shelf becomes a permanent fixture, ready to hold whatever the kitchen workflow demands. The 300 mm depth allows standard gastronorm trays to sit fully on the shelf without overhang, while the 1300 mm length spans the width of a typical preparation table, giving a continuous run of storage.

The construction is entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, heat and repeated cleaning. The welded joints eliminate crevices where food debris or moisture could collect, and the smooth surface can be wiped down quickly with a cloth or sanitiser. No moving parts or electrical components are present, so maintenance is limited to periodic checks of the mounting bolts and a wipe-over after service.

This shelf is part of the Novameta table 1300 series and is sized to match the standard width of the table. Custom sizes can be ordered through consultation with Novameta specialists, allowing the shelf to be tailored to non-standard tables or specific kitchen layouts.

The shelf is listed in the catalogue under worktop accessories and storage solutions for professional catering environments.
