MKN Work Table 1203602 – CounterSL

A 500 x 700 mm working surface on a 270 mm high body defines the MKN 1203602 as a low work table rather than a full-height bench. With a net weight of 16 kg, it is a compact stainless module that can be positioned easily while still giving a clearly usable stainless work area.

On board, this proportioned footprint suits areas where a continuous tall cabinet run would block sightlines or service access. The 500 x 700 mm plan dimension is large enough to take a cutting board or small equipment for a dedicated task station, yet small enough to drop into a tight counter line without forcing major changes to the galley layout. Designers can use it as an infill surface in a CounterSL run or as a defined working position in a front-cooking or buffet context where vertical mass has to be kept down.

The published overall dimensions of 500 x 700 x 270 mm match the working surface size, so there is no difference between nominal footprint and usable top. That makes it straightforward to align this table with other 700 mm deep CounterSL bodies and to calculate clearances to bulkheads or service risers. The low 270 mm height can be exploited to route services above or below the unit and to leave free space where cleaning access, ventilation paths or customer visibility are a concern. In refits where access is constrained, the 24 kg gross weight is light enough that getting the packed unit through narrow doors, companionways or hatches is manageable without special lifting equipment.

Material specification is stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout. Using the same stainless grade across the whole body and working surface avoids mixed constructions with coated or galvanised sections that age differently under cleaning regimes. For a table that may be moved, rotated or reconfigured during the life of the vessel, having all sides in 1.4301 means any face can be presented to the working side without exposing a less suitable material into a food zone. The 16 kg net weight reflects that all-stainless build while still keeping the unit in a handling range where two people can reposition it safely.

• Self-supporting closed construction

This work table is the right choice where the requirement is a low, stainless surface that integrates into a 500 x 700 mm CounterSL grid and does not need under-counter storage volume. It suits buffet islands, snack points and front-of-house counters where a low corpus is part of the design brief. It is the wrong choice where the expectation is a tall base cabinet with significant enclosed storage or an ergonomic working height for primary production; in those cases a higher body from a different line has to be specified instead of this 270 mm high CounterSL unit.
