Novameta Open Frame 400-65 for Professional Catering Worktops

An open frame provides a rigid, unenclosed base for catering worktops, sinks or mobile equipment stands. Without sides or cupboards, the frame allows full access from all four edges, so operators can reach every corner without obstruction. The four legs transfer the weight directly to the floor, keeping the load stable even when the worktop is unevenly loaded with heavy pots or appliances. Adjustable feet level the frame on uneven kitchen floors, preventing wobble and spills.

The frame itself does not heat, cool or process food; it supports the equipment that does. A solid worktop fitted to the frame becomes a preparation surface, a landing area for hot pans, or a mounting point for sinks, hobs or mixers. Because the frame is open, air circulates freely underneath, reducing the risk of trapped moisture and corrosion. The absence of enclosed spaces also simplifies cleaning, as there are no corners or crevices where dirt or grease can accumulate.

To assemble, position the frame on a level floor. Adjust each leg in turn until the frame is stable and the top surface is horizontal. Fit the chosen worktop to the frame using the fixing points provided. Once assembled, the frame remains in place, ready to support the daily load of a busy kitchen.

Constructed from steel, the frame is designed to bear the weight of commercial catering equipment. The legs are tubular, combining strength with a relatively light weight for easy handling during delivery and installation. The height adjusts between 835 mm and 900 mm, allowing the frame to match standard worktop heights or to accommodate taller equipment such as bain-maries or under-counter refrigeration units.

The footprint of 400 mm by 650 mm defines the floor space the frame occupies. This compact size fits into tight kitchen layouts while still providing a usable work surface. The open design allows the frame to be placed against a wall or island, or left freestanding for access from all sides.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe down the steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dust or spills. The absence of enclosed spaces means there are no hidden areas to scrub. Regular checks of the adjustable feet ensure the frame remains level and stable over time.
