MKN Work Table 10018422 – Optima 700

A 500 x 700 mm working surface in Optima 700 geometry gives this table a defined role as a compact preparation or set-down point in a cooking line. With a net weight of 36 kg it is substantial enough to sit solidly in the run without being awkward to move into position during installation.

On board, the 700 mm depth aligns with the Optima 700 cooking bodies, so this table can close gaps in a line or extend a run without breaking the plane of the worktop. The 500 mm length keeps the footprint tight where bulkhead clearances and circulation routes are constrained, yet still offers enough area to handle chopping boards, trays or small appliances without having them overhang the edge. When galley space has to be split between hot line, bakery and scullery, being able to drop in a 500 x 700 mm stainless table can be what makes a layout workable.

The dimensional data separates the carcass from the working level. The body is 500 x 700 x 700 mm, while the working surface is specified at 500 x 700 x 850 mm. Both sets of figures matter in a ship environment: the carcass dimensions tie into any plinth, coaming or leg arrangement beneath, and the 850 mm working surface height is what the crew experience when they stand at the table. That working height also fixes how this unit lines up under wall shelving and how much vertical room is left for any equipment parked on top. Gross weight is quoted at 43 kg, which is the number that lands in the logistics plan and lifting method statement when the piece is brought on board or moved between decks.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) is used throughout. This consistency means frame and working surface behave the same way under cleaning chemicals and day-to-day abrasion, and it simplifies any welding or sealing to adjacent Optima 700 components specified in the same material. For a designer, having a 1.4301 (AISI 304) work table in the line reduces the number of different finishes in the galley and keeps spare or replacement panels interchangeable across the series.

This table is the right choice where a small, freestanding station is needed in an Optima 700 run or where a 500 x 700 mm stainless surface must match that series in depth and material. It is the wrong choice if the layout calls for long, uninterrupted preparation surfaces or integrated base cabinets, because this model is limited to a 500 mm length and is specified purely as a work table without undercounter storage.
