MKN Work Table 10018421 – Optima 850

500 x 850 mm of working surface on a 700 mm high body defines this Optima 850 work table as a compact, full-depth module in the line. At 40 kg net weight it is substantial enough to carry small appliances or act as a plating and landing area, while still manageable for the yard to position during installation.

On board, the 500 x 850 x 700 mm footprint matters because galley layouts are usually planned around fixed depth and height references. This table follows the Optima 850 depth, so it drops into a cooking block without step changes that complicate cleaning or disrupt tray and pan movement. The short 500 mm length makes it a spacer between heavier modules where bulkhead distances are tight, or a landing space next to a kettle or fryer, rather than a long central prep bench. For shipyards and owners, those published dimensions give the naval architect a clear number to work with when aligning the block with coamings and deck drains.

The working surface matches the 500 x 850 mm footprint, so there is no overhang to trap soil or interfere with adjacent equipment. That is relevant in a marine galley where the deck is washed down frequently and anything that creates a ledge becomes a cleaning point. The body is described as a self-supporting closed construction, which means the unit stands as a complete carcass rather than an open frame. In practice this avoids open undershelves exposed to spray and debris when the deck is hosed, and it simplifies side cladding and sealing to adjacent furniture because the table presents a continuous surface.

Material specification is stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout. Using the same grade for the working surface and the carcass means the whole 500 x 850 x 700 mm envelope tolerates the same detergents and wash-down regime, and there is no mixed-material interface between top and body to manage. For operators, this makes the unit straightforward to keep in service: standard marine cleaning products can be used across all external faces without treating the top and base differently.

The weight figures, 40 kg net and 50 kg gross, are not just shipping numbers. On many vessels the table will be brought aboard by hand or by small lifting aids rather than by large yard cranes. Knowing the 50 kg gross weight, including packaging, helps plan safe handling routes through narrow accesses and stairways, and the 40 kg net weight is a check on how the deck plating and any plinth beneath will carry the load once the unit is in place.

This table is the right choice where an Optima 850 cooking suite needs a short, fully stainless landing or prep section that keeps the same 500 x 850 mm plan area and 700 mm height as the published module dimensions. It is the wrong choice as the primary preparation bench in a large production galley, where longer work tables would reduce joints, or where open underframes are explicitly preferred for maximum visibility under equipment.
