Table Base B-L3 for Professional Worktops

A sturdy table base that raises a worktop to standard kitchen height, giving a stable platform for food preparation, plating or holding small appliances. The base transfers the load of the worktop and its contents through a central column to a wide cast-iron foot, spreading weight evenly across the floor and preventing tipping when the top is unevenly loaded.

The base arrives as a flat-pack of parts: a square mounting plate for the underside of the worktop, a vertical steel column, the cast-iron foot, three adjustable levelling feet and the necessary screws for assembly. Once the column is bolted to the plate and the foot, the operator fits the levelling feet into threaded sockets at the corners of the foot, then turns each one to raise or lower that corner until the worktop sits level. The adjustment range is small but sufficient to compensate for minor floor irregularities in a professional kitchen.

Assembly begins by laying the mounting plate on the underside of the worktop, aligning it centrally. The column is then attached to the plate with the supplied screws. The cast-iron foot is positioned on the floor, and the column is bolted to it. The three adjustable feet are screwed into the foot until they touch the floor, then turned in unison to lift the entire base until the worktop clears the floor and sits level. No additional tools are required beyond a spanner for the levelling feet.

The base is constructed from black painted cast iron for the foot and black painted steel for the column and mounting plate. Cast iron provides mass and stability, while the steel column keeps the overall weight manageable. The mounting plate measures 250 mm square and is 3 mm thick, giving a secure surface for screwing the worktop down. The base is designed to support worktops up to 700 mm in diameter, allowing a generous overhang for easy access around the edges.

Controls are limited to the three adjustable feet, each of which sets the height of one corner. Turning a foot clockwise lowers that corner; anticlockwise raises it. The feet are locked in place by friction once the desired height is reached.

The 730 mm height places the worktop at a comfortable standing height for most kitchen staff, reducing fatigue during long shifts. The 520 mm square footprint leaves enough floor space for staff to stand close to the worktop without tripping over the base. The 9.5 kg weight allows two people to move the base into position before the worktop is fitted, yet is heavy enough to resist accidental movement once assembled.

Cleaning is straightforward: the painted surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The adjustable feet should be checked periodically for tightness, and the mounting screws inspected to ensure the worktop remains securely fixed.

Variants available include different heights, colours from the RAL palette, and a heavier 4.0 kg cast-iron foot for environments where additional stability is required.
