MKN Work Table 10018326 – Optima 700

Six hundred by seven hundred millimetres of working surface at an 850 mm height defines this Optima 700 work table’s role in the line. It is sized as a compact preparation or set-down station that still matches the Optima 700 module depth for a continuous run.

On a ship this footprint matters because every 600 x 700 mm block takes deck area, structural load and HVAC allowance. At a net weight of 38 kg and a gross weight of 45 kg for shipping and handling, the table is light enough to manhandle into constrained galley spaces, yet substantial enough that, once fixed down, it becomes a stable part of the production line. The 850 mm working height sits above the 700 mm corpus height, so equipment and undershelves in the same series align visually while keeping the working edge at a comfortable level for repetitive tasks.

The external dimensions of 600 x 700 x 700 mm mean the body sits flush with other Optima 700 components, while the working surface projects to the 850 mm height. That split between corpus and working level is what allows pipework, cable runs or storage to sit below while preserving a continuous stainless work plane above. In a marine galley where bulkheads and deckheads are already fixed, these millimetres decide whether the line passes under existing services or forces modifications.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout gives a consistent material for both structure and surface. Using the same grade across the table simplifies welding, finishing and later repair work, because every panel and brace takes the same treatment. It also means there is no transition from one lesser material to another hidden inside the carcass, which is where corrosion often starts in a damp, salt-laden environment. The self-supporting closed construction then turns that stainless shell into a rigid unit that does not rely on neighbouring appliances or masonry for stability.

This table is the right choice where a 600 mm-wide section is needed to complete an Optima 700 run, provide a hygienic landing area between cooking modules, or create a small preparation station without committing to a larger body. It is not the best option where undercounter refrigeration or heated storage is required in the same footprint, because this model is a plain work table rather than an equipment base.
