MKN Work Table 10020147 – Optima 850

Thirty kilograms net for a 300 x 850 x 700 mm body tells you what this Optima 850 work table is: compact in length, full-depth, and light enough to move into position without heavy plant. The 300 x 850 mm working surface matches the overall plan dimensions, so the entire footprint is usable top rather than a mix of overhangs and frames.

On board, a 300 mm length is a planning tool for the gaps left between cooking and service modules, not a primary preparation bench. In an Optima 850 cooking line, matching the 850 mm depth means pans and trays can be slid across from adjacent appliances without steps or ledges, which matters where hot containers are moving in a narrow galley. At 700 mm high, this table sits below the typical working height, so designers can use it as a landing or parking surface, or under-counter support beneath wall-mounted kit, without crowding the main work zone.

The stated dimensions of 300 x 850 x 700 mm give a predictable volume envelope that fits against bulkheads, under serving hatches or between other Optima 850 bodies. The identical figures for overall length and working surface length mean there is no dead zone lost to a back riser or upstand; a 300 x 850 mm board or tray will sit fully supported. Net weight of 30 kg and gross weight of 36 kg keep handling straightforward during installation or refit, while still putting enough mass on the deck to avoid a flimsy feel once it is fixed. Those weights are also the numbers a yard will use for cranage and logistics planning.

Material specification is clear: stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout. That simplifies both hygiene and maintenance regimes, because the same cleaning agents and inspection criteria apply across the top and the self-supporting closed construction beneath. There is no hidden mild-steel subframe to corrode behind panels, and no mixed alloys that behave differently under the same chemicals or washdown routines.

This unit is well suited where a small section of continuous 300 x 850 mm worktop is needed in an Optima 850 run, or where a 700 mm-high parking surface is required under shelving or equipment. It also answers tidy-up problems at the end of a line, filling a narrow space so containers and utensils are not left on makeshift supports. It is the wrong choice where the galley needs a main preparation area for several operators, or where large cutting boards, tray runs and small appliances must sit side by side for extended periods; in those situations a longer work table from the same series is the more appropriate specification.
