Novameta Open Frame 400-7 for Professional Catering Worktops

An open frame stand creates a stable, unenclosed base for catering worktops, shelves or mobile trolleys without cupboards or panels that trap dirt. The four legs rise from the floor to support a flat top surface; nothing else touches the sides, so air circulates freely and spills wipe straight through. This design suits kitchens where equipment is moved often, or where a single frame must carry different tops for different tasks.

The frame stands on its own, ready to receive a worktop, shelf or tray. The operator places the chosen top onto the frame, adjusts the legs to the correct working height, and secures the top if the frame provides fixing points. Once set, the frame holds the load at a comfortable height for food preparation, plating or serving, and keeps it clear of the floor to meet hygiene standards.

Constructed from stainless steel, the frame resists corrosion and withstands frequent cleaning with hot water and sanitising agents. The four legs are fixed at the corners, providing a footprint of 400 mm by 700 mm that fits between existing kitchen units or against a wall. The height adjusts between 835 mm and 900 mm, allowing the frame to match standard worktop heights or to accommodate taller equipment beneath.

No controls are fitted; the frame is a passive support. The adjustable height range means the frame can be set to the same level as adjacent worktops for a continuous surface, or raised to create a separate station. The 400 mm by 700 mm footprint determines the space the frame occupies on the floor, while the adjustable height affects how the operator reaches the top and what can be stored underneath.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the legs and top surface with a damp cloth and sanitiser, as there are no enclosed spaces or crevices where food debris can collect. The open design also allows quick visual inspection for damage or wear.
