Worktables

21 products

Stainless steel worktables give prep cooks a durable, easy-to-clean surface, with an undershelf to keep tools and ingredients close.

This collection includes flat-top worktables with undershelves and adjustable bullet feet from 24" x 30" to 30" x 72", backsplash worktables for wall runs, and a mobile prep station cart that holds 18" cutting boards. It sits in Worktables & Equipment Stands.

Types of worktables

  • Flat-top worktables: Open on all sides for island prep or for placing between equipment.
  • Backsplash worktables: A raised back edge keeps food and liquids off the wall when the table sits against it.
  • Mobile prep stations: A cart on locking casters that can be wheeled to where prep is needed. The one here holds 18" cutting boards and has adjustable shelves.

What to consider when choosing a worktable

  • Size: 30" deep tables are the common standard. 24" deep tables fit tighter aisles. Choose a length that matches the task and leaves clear walkways.
  • Steel: A lower gauge number means thicker steel. Tops and undershelves may be stainless or galvanized, so check the specs for the grade and gauge that suit your use.
  • Backsplash or flat: Choose a backsplash for tables against a wall, and a flat top for islands or tables between equipment.
  • Levelling: Adjustable bullet feet level the table on sloped kitchen floors.
  • Load: Heavy or vibrating equipment, such as mixers and slicers, may need an equipment stand rated for the load instead.

Worktable FAQs

What size worktable do I need?

Most kitchens use 30" deep tables; 24" deep tables suit narrow spaces. For length, allow enough surface for the task and its tools, plus a landing area for finished product.

Worktable with backsplash or without?

Use a backsplash when the table sits against a wall. Choose a flat top for islands, or when the table sits between pieces of equipment.

Can I put a mixer or slicer on a worktable?

Check the table's load rating first. Heavy or vibrating equipment may be better on an equipment stand built for that weight.

Do you offer custom worktables?

Yes. For non-standard sizes, sinks or corner runs, ask about custom stainless steel fabrication, or talk to our commercial kitchen design team.
