Confirm tabletop, shelf, drawer, cabinet and leg materials by component.
Select storage and access according to the kitchen workflow.
Balance rigidity, assembly requirements and export packing volume.
Coordinate backsplash, undershelf, casters, drawers and upper shelves.
Commercial Work Table Series
Build the workstation around the task and storage requirement
Commercial stainless steel work tables may share a similar appearance, but tabletop construction, reinforcement, shelf layout, backsplash height, drawer structure, cabinet type and packing method can lead to very different quotations.
PRIME coordinates these details before quotation so suppliers compare the same configuration rather than quoting only a general work table description.
Product Types
Commercial stainless steel work table configurations
Start with the task, storage requirement and available installation space. Each table can then be adjusted in material, top structure, reinforcement, shelf layout, drawer arrangement and packing method.
Type 01
Work Tables with Undershelf
Open-base work tables with a lower shelf for ingredient bins, cookware, trays and frequently used kitchen items.
Type 02
Work Tables with Backsplash
Backsplash tables designed for wall-side installation where splash control, edge protection and easier cleaning are required.
Type 03
Stainless Steel Prep Tables
Flat-top work surfaces for ingredient preparation, assembly, plating and other commercial kitchen preparation tasks.
Type 04
Work Tables with Drawers
Work tables with integrated drawers for knives, utensils, tools and small accessories that need to stay close to the operator.
Type 05
Enclosed Base Work Tables
Cabinet-base tables that combine a preparation surface with protected enclosed storage below the tabletop.
Type 06
Custom Stainless Steel Workstations
Project-built stations with drawers, shelves, upper racks, enclosed sections and task-specific storage configurations.
Material Selection
SUS 304 vs SUS 201 for commercial work tables
Material should be confirmed by cleaning environment, market expectation, food-contact requirement and budget. A quotation should state whether the tabletop, shelf, drawers, cabinet panels and legs use the same stainless steel grade.
| Comparison point | SUS 304 stainless steel | SUS 201 stainless steel | Buyer action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical positioning | Commonly requested for demanding commercial foodservice and project applications | Cost-oriented option for suitable indoor environments | Confirm application and target market expectations |
| Quotation clarity | Ask whether the tabletop, shelf, drawers and cabinet are all 304 | Ask whether 201 is used for the complete unit or selected components | Request a component-by-component material statement |
| Surface and finish | Confirm finish direction, protective film and welded-edge treatment | Confirm finish consistency and transport protection | Use approved photos or a reference sample when required |
| Best practice | Do not approve only the phrase “stainless steel work table.” | Specify material grade, thickness and component scope in the order | |
Specification Focus
Details that affect rigidity, usability and quotation
Commercial stainless steel work tables are fabricated products. Clear specification control is more important than selecting only a catalogue image.
Overall Dimensions
Confirm width, depth, working height and clearance around adjacent equipment.
Tabletop Construction
Clarify steel thickness, folded edge, internal reinforcement and sound-deadening structure.
Backsplash
Define height, edge fold, wall gap and whether side splashes are required.
Undershelf
Confirm shelf height, thickness, load expectation and access clearance.
Drawers
Specify drawer quantity, position, internal dimensions, slides and handles.
Cabinet Base
Confirm hinged or sliding doors, internal shelf layout and ventilation requirements.
Legs and Feet
Review tube size, adjustable feet, cross bracing and optional caster requirements.
Export Packing
Choose assembled, knock-down, carton, pallet or wooden-frame packing by freight plan.
