Serving bridge with 1 shelf Novameta BHS-LPL1-160-30-40

An upper shelf for a 1600 mm worktable adds storage above the main work surface without taking up floor space. It attaches to the table frame or wall brackets, creating a second tier for ingredients, utensils or small equipment. The shelf keeps items within reach while keeping the worktop clear for food preparation, plating or assembly. In a professional kitchen, vertical space is often underused; an over-shelf turns it into organised storage that follows the workflow from left to right.

The shelf is fixed in place, so the operator loads and unloads it by hand. Items are placed directly on the shelf surface, which is flat and open. There are no dividers or doors, so everything is visible and accessible. The height of 400 mm above the worktop allows most containers and trays to fit underneath without interfering with the main work area. The shelf itself is 300 mm deep, giving enough room for standard gastronorm trays or stacks of plates without overhang.

Construction is welded AISI 304 stainless steel, a food-safe grade that resists corrosion and staining. The welds are ground smooth to eliminate sharp edges and make cleaning easier. The shelf has no moving parts or electrical components, so maintenance is limited to wiping down the surface. The steel is not coated, so it can be scrubbed with abrasive pads if needed without damaging the finish.

Width is 1600 mm, matching the standard worktable length. The specification allows a tolerance of 5% to accommodate slight variations in table frames or installation conditions. The shelf is supplied as a single piece, not adjustable or extendable.

This shelf is designed for Novameta 1600 mm tables, but can be adapted to other makes if the mounting points and dimensions match. For non-standard sizes or custom designs, Novameta offers consultation and bespoke manufacturing.
