Novameta Stainless Steel Socle for Professional Catering Equipment

A stainless steel socle forms the base that raises catering equipment off the floor, creating a gap for cleaning and a stable platform for heavy appliances. The open design allows air to circulate underneath, preventing moisture build-up and making the floor easier to sweep or mop. By lifting the unit, the socle also protects the equipment from floor-level knocks and spills, extending its working life in a busy kitchen.

The socle is cut to length on site, so the operator measures the footprint of the appliance or worktop and fits the strip along each edge. Once the socle is in place, the equipment is lowered onto it, distributing the weight evenly across the floor. The height of the socle matches standard worktop levels, ensuring the appliance sits at the correct ergonomic height for staff.

Constructed from stainless steel, the socle resists corrosion and staining, even in wet or greasy environments. The material is non-porous, so it does not absorb odours or bacteria, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth. No moving parts or electrical components are present, so upkeep is limited to routine cleaning and occasional checks that the socle remains level and secure.

Sold by the metre, the Novameta Z-SOCLE allows caterers to create a continuous run under multiple units or a single appliance, tailoring the length to the exact dimensions of the kitchen layout. The same socle can be used under refrigeration units, ovens, fryers, or preparation tables, providing a uniform look and a consistent working height across the kitchen.

The socle is compatible with any equipment that requires a raised, stable base, including most professional catering brands that follow standardised worktop heights.
