Novameta Open Frame 1600-7 for Professional Worktops

An open frame provides a rigid, freestanding base for heavy catering worktops without enclosing cupboards or shelves. The four legs transfer the load directly to the floor, allowing the worktop to sit flush at the required height while leaving the space beneath clear for cleaning or for mobile trolleys to slide underneath.

The frame is assembled from square-section steel tubing welded into a single unit. This construction resists twisting and sagging under the weight of a fully loaded worktop, even when the unit is positioned away from a wall. Adjustable feet on each leg compensate for uneven floors, ensuring the frame remains level and the worktop stays stable during food preparation.

To install, the operator positions the frame on the kitchen floor, adjusts the feet to level it, and lowers the worktop onto the top rails. No additional bracing or wall fixing is required, so the frame can be placed anywhere in the kitchen layout and moved if the workflow changes. The open design also allows easy access for cleaning beneath the worktop and for running power or plumbing services where needed.

The frame is manufactured from mild steel with a protective finish. It measures 1600 mm in length and 700 mm in width, matching standard worktop dimensions. Height is adjustable between 835 mm and 900 mm, allowing the worktop to align with adjacent equipment or to suit the ergonomic needs of the kitchen staff.

Cleaning is limited to wiping down the steel surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and spills. The open construction prevents dirt from accumulating in enclosed spaces, and the absence of moving parts means no lubrication or mechanical maintenance is required.
