Table base BHS-HoReCa POL-C-50-730

A sturdy table base designed to support professional catering worktops, providing a stable platform for food preparation, plating or holding equipment. The base raises the worktop to a comfortable working height, reducing strain on kitchen staff during long shifts. Adjustable feet allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, ensuring the worktop remains steady even when heavy trays or appliances are placed on it.

The base is built around a central column that transfers the weight of the worktop and its load directly to the floor. A cross-shaped support at the bottom spreads the load over a wider area, preventing the base from tipping or sinking into soft flooring. The column and cross are bolted together during assembly, creating a rigid frame that resists twisting or wobbling. Four adjustable feet at the corners let the operator fine-tune the height of each corner independently, compensating for sloping floors or minor imperfections in the worktop itself.

Assembly begins with the cross-shaped base, which is laid flat on the floor. The central column is then bolted to the cross, followed by the top mounting plate. Once the frame is assembled, the adjustable feet are screwed into the base until they touch the floor. The operator then places the worktop onto the mounting plate and secures it with screws, which are not included in the set. The feet are adjusted until the worktop is level and stable, ready for use.

The base is constructed from black painted steel, chosen for its strength and resistance to corrosion in a busy kitchen environment. The paint finish protects the steel from moisture and cleaning chemicals, extending the life of the base. The mounting plate measures 400 mm by 800 mm, providing a secure platform for worktops up to 1400 mm by 900 mm in size. The overall height of the base is 730 mm, a standard worktop height that suits most kitchen staff.

Controls are limited to the four adjustable feet, each of which is turned by hand to raise or lower that corner of the base. The feet have a threaded design, allowing fine adjustments to be made quickly and easily. The base weighs 21 kg, making it light enough to be moved by one person but heavy enough to remain stable under load.

The 730 mm height positions the worktop at a comfortable level for tasks such as chopping, mixing or assembling dishes. The 21 kg weight ensures the base stays in place during use, while still being manageable for repositioning if the kitchen layout changes. The 700 mm by 400 mm footprint takes up minimal floor space, leaving room for other equipment or staff movement.

Cleaning is straightforward: the painted steel surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The adjustable feet should be checked periodically to ensure they remain tight and secure. If the base is moved, the feet should be readjusted to level the worktop once it is in its new position.

Variants include different heights and colours from the RAL palette, allowing the base to be matched to the kitchen's existing equipment or branding. The base is designed for self-assembly, with all necessary parts and instructions included in the set, except for the screws needed to attach the worktop.
