Novameta Open Frame 1000-7 Worktop Support

An open-frame support creates a rigid platform for worktops, sinks or mobile equipment without enclosing cupboard space. Four vertical legs carry the load directly to the floor, leaving the area beneath clear for cleaning, storage trolleys or under-counter appliances. The frame itself does not heat, cool or move; it simply holds the chosen surface at a fixed working height so chefs can prepare, portion or plate without bending or stretching.

Assembly begins by positioning the four legs on a level floor. Each leg is fitted with an adjustable foot that compensates for minor unevenness and prevents rocking. Once the legs are square and plumb, the horizontal cross-members are bolted between them. These cross-members form a rectangle that matches the worktop dimensions and provide the mounting points for the surface. The operator then places the worktop, sink or appliance on the frame and secures it with screws or clamps. No additional tools are required beyond those used to assemble the frame itself.

The frame is constructed from mild steel tubing welded into a single unit. The tubing is finished with a powder-coated surface that resists corrosion and chipping in a busy kitchen. All exposed edges are deburred to prevent cuts during handling. The four adjustable feet are threaded steel rods with rubber pads that protect the floor and dampen vibration.

Height can be set between 835 mm and 900 mm, allowing the frame to match existing work surfaces or to suit the ergonomic needs of the kitchen team. The footprint of 1000 mm by 700 mm gives a stable base for standard catering worktops while keeping the unit narrow enough to fit through most service doors and corridors.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the frame with a damp cloth to remove dust and splashes. The powder-coated finish can be cleaned with mild detergent but should not be scrubbed with abrasive pads. The adjustable feet should be checked periodically to ensure they remain tight and the rubber pads are intact.
