MKN Work Table 1203605 – CounterSL

Five hundred by 700 mm of working surface in a 270 mm high body defines the MKN CounterSL work table 1203605. With a net weight of 23 kg it is a compact but substantial stainless unit in the CounterSL low-height line.

On board, a 270 mm overall height places this table below the main working plane of a galley or buffet, which is often useful in front-cooking or serving runs where equipment must not obstruct the view across the counter. The 500 x 700 mm footprint is modest in deck terms, so it can be inserted into tight layouts or used as a bridging or set-down module between other CounterSL or matching bodies. For designers working within fixed bulkhead and deckhead clearances, the published height is the hard limit that decides whether the unit can run under existing structures.

The specification distinguishes between overall dimensions of 500 x 700 x 270 mm and a working surface of 500 x 700 x 150 mm. That tells the planner that the full plan area is usable, while 150 mm is the effective working depth above the internal structure. This matters where the table is used with gastronorm containers or displayware: the surface specification is the reference for how items will sit, and the remaining corpus height defines how the unit lines up visually with adjoining equipment. At 31 kg gross weight, the difference to the 23 kg net gives a clear indication of packing and handling allowance when the logistics team plans crane lifts, pallet loads and passage through doors and hatches.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout is the material call. For a work table in a service or light preparation area this grade gives the smooth, cleanable surface that shipboard hygiene regimes require, and the single-material construction simplifies cleaning and inspection because there are no mixed materials hidden in the corpus. On a vessel where chemical cleaning agents and salt-laden air are a daily reality, specifying the steel grade up front avoids uncertainty at the integration stage.

Accepting GN 1/1 containers is the functional link into the rest of the galley system. On a 500 x 700 mm working surface that means standard pans and trays can be dropped in and moved without special adapters, so the same container can pass from preparation to holding to service. For marine operators standardisation of container formats reduces the variety of small items carried on board and simplifies replacement during port calls.

This work table is the right choice where a low-height, 500 x 700 mm stainless surface is needed in a CounterSL concept, for example in buffet lines or compact front-cooking stations. It is the wrong choice as a primary workbench in a main production galley that needs undercounter storage volume and a full working height; in that case, higher and deeper bodies from other MKN series should be considered.
