MKN Work Table 10018327 – Optima 700

Four hundred by 700 mm of working surface at an 850 mm height defines this Optima 700 work table as a narrow, full-height module in the line. With a carcass dimension of 400 x 700 x 700 mm and a net weight of 33 kg, it occupies little deck area while still acting as a fixed part of a cooking block rather than a loose table.

On board, that combination suits galley runs where every 400 mm section of footprint has to be justified. A designer can insert this unit between appliances in a 700 mm-deep Optima run to gain a neutral 400 x 700 mm landing or prep area without extending the line beyond what the deck plan allows. The 850 mm working surface height keeps staff on a consistent level across adjacent Optima 700 elements, which matters when operators work laterally along the line during service.

The distinction between the 400 x 700 x 700 mm carcass and the 400 x 700 x 850 mm working surface gives room within the structure for load-bearing elements while preserving a flat top for trays, chopping boards or pans. At 38 kg gross weight the unit remains manageable for the yard or contractor during embarkation and positioning, yet once secured it is substantial enough to act as part of a continuous stainless worktop. For naval architects, the published net and gross figures provide a defined load to allocate into the galley weight and stability budget instead of estimating from a generic table.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout simplifies both hygiene planning and integration into the rest of an Optima 700 installation. One material from the working surface through the body avoids mixed interfaces that complicate welding or create transition points for corrosion. Cleaning regimes based on hot water and detergent are well matched to a continuous 1.4301 surface, and any later modification work on board is helped by knowing that the whole 33 kg structure follows the same alloy specification.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction

The self-supporting closed construction has particular value in islands or peninsular runs where the table cannot rely on adjacent furniture or bulkheads for stiffness. It allows the module to carry its own load and to be repositioned if the galley layout is revised without having to re-engineer subframes or brackets, and the closed body avoids open frames that would otherwise collect debris or complicate deck cleaning in a narrow traffic route under and around the 700 mm-high carcass.

This work table is the right choice where the requirement is a compact neutral section within a 700 mm-deep Optima line and no undercounter utilities are planned. It is the wrong option where the brief calls for cupboards, drawers or other usable storage volume under the worktop, because this model provides a closed, self-supporting body from 400 x 700 x 700 mm upward rather than open or compartmented space below the 400 x 700 mm working surface.
