MKN Work Table 1303702 – HotLine

Thirty kilograms net weight on a 500 x 700 mm working surface defines the MKN 1303702 as a compact but solid HotLine work table module. With a 700 mm overall height, it introduces a lower level into a cooking block instead of matching the taller cooking appliances around it.

On board, a 500 x 700 x 700 mm body is straightforward to position in tight galleys where every piece has to justify the deck area it takes. The footprint is large enough to serve as a local prep or plating station yet small enough to fit into short runs of wall space or between bulkhead features that prevent installing a wider module. Because the working surface is quoted at the full 500 x 700 mm, all of that footprint is usable stainless worktop, which helps when aligning with 700 mm-deep galley equipment in a straight line.

The dimensional data also matter for installation and logistics. At 30 kg net and 37 kg gross weight, the table is light enough to move through narrow access routes and stairways during a refit without heavy lifting equipment, while still giving a reassuring mass once it is fixed to its final position. Height at 700 mm sets the working level lower than many galley counters, which can be an advantage in front-cooking, snack or buffet settings where the work surface should sit below eye line, or where an operator is seated.

Construction in stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout ties the unit into standard marine galley material practice. 1.4301 is the common austenitic grade used for commercial kitchen worktops and carcasses, giving a smooth, cleanable surface suitable for food-related areas as well as a consistent appearance across the HotLine series. Using the same grade for all parts of the table avoids mixed surface behaviour in service and means cleaning routines can be standardised with the rest of the galley furniture.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction

The self-supporting closed construction allows the 1303702 to stand as an independent module without relying on a wall bracket or shared underframe, which is useful where the bulkhead cannot carry load or where services run behind the line. In a HotLine installation this makes it a simple way to extend a run of 700 mm-deep bodies with extra stainless working area while keeping the visual language consistent.

There is a clear boundary to where this unit makes sense. It is the wrong choice where undercounter storage, open shelving or integrated refrigeration are required, because the closed, self-supporting body is not configured to accept those functions. It is also a poor fit where the galley design is built around a higher continuous working height; in that case a different table height or a cooking module with a matching top level will give a more ergonomic line.

In the right context, the 1303702 is a straightforward way to add a defined 500 x 700 mm stainless work zone into a HotLine scheme without adding another powered appliance. Ordered under MKN product number 1303702 in the HotLine series.
