Equipment Stands

Most kitchens prefer to keep their equipment off the floor, and that is where equipment stands come in. They are available in a range of sizes, so you can place something small like a slicer on one, or use it to support a heavier piece of equipment like an oven. These stands are designed to hold a variety of machines and are essential in many commercial kitchens.

Be sure to check the load capacity before making a purchase. It is not safe to place a 1000-pound machine on a stand rated for only 500 pounds, even if the dimensions seem to work. Always check the technical specs, including the CAD drawing and measurements, to make sure your equipment will fit properly.

Equipment stands are also helpful because they bring your controls up to a comfortable height, often keeping them within arm’s reach or at eye level. Some stands are made from stainless steel, while others are built from aluminum. The right choice depends on how much durability your kitchen requires.

You can also choose between models with a full backsplash or just a small lip. A backsplash is especially useful for messy jobs like meat grinding, helping to keep raw meat or other debris from splattering around the workspace.
