MKN Work Table 10018323 – Optima 850

42 kg of net weight on a 600 x 850 mm footprint gives the MKN Work Table 10018323 a defined presence in an Optima 850 run. The full 600 x 850 mm working surface matches that footprint, so all of the top is usable prep or landing area.

In a shipboard galley this specific body size helps planners drop neutral space into an Optima 850 cooking line without changing the geometry. The 600 x 850 x 700 mm overall dimensions correspond to a single Optima 850 body, so the table can occupy the same bay as a cooking module and keep the front edge in line. That simplifies the design of any common plinth, skirting or cover that the yard fabricates beneath or over the series.

The working surface is quoted as 600 x 850 mm, identical to the plan dimensions, so there is no overhang or inset that would complicate welding to a stainless cover or joining to adjacent units. For a galley designer this means the complete top area can be allocated as preparation space, plating space or set down between appliances, with no allowance needed for unusable shoulders or recesses. The 700 mm height keeps the corpus within the Optima 850 system envelope, which matters if a continuous worktop or bridge plate is intended to span several bodies.

Net weight of 42 kg indicates that this is more than a light-duty shelf. On the naval architect’s side, that figure, together with the 51 kg gross weight, feeds directly into deck loading calculations and lift planning during installation. On the galley side, the same weight points to a structure that can take the day-to-day loads of chopping, tray stacking or pan landing without feeling flimsy. Because the body shares the 850 mm depth of the cooking modules, it can be positioned anywhere along the line without breaking the straight run of fronts or backs, which simplifies routing of services and the detailing of any deck upstands behind the equipment.

Build and control

• Self-supporting closed construction

This work table is the right choice where an Optima 850 line needs a neutral 600 x 850 mm body for preparation, plating or landing space in the same depth and height as the powered modules. It is the wrong choice where the requirement is a main central prep island, because the 600 x 850 mm footprint is sized as a single-body insert rather than a large stand-alone bench.
