How Commercial Kitchen Tables with Gantry Work

Kitchen tables with gantry combine two essential elements: a sturdy stainless steel work surface for food preparation and an elevated shelving system mounted above. This overhead gantry typically features one or two tiers of shelving that run the length of the table, supported by vertical uprights. The genius lies in its simplicity—your prep surface remains uncluttered while ingredients, tools, and equipment stay perfectly positioned at eye level. Some models include additional features like built-in sockets for plugging in small appliances, heat lamps to keep plated food warm, or integrated storage drawers beneath the work surface—all designed to create a complete, self-contained workstation.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Kitchen Tables with Gantry

To maximise your gantry table's efficiency, organise shelving by frequency of use—most-used items at eye level, less frequent above. Use clear containers on upper shelves for easy identification, and create dedicated zones for different prep tasks. Clean thoroughly beneath the gantry daily, as this area can collect dust. For added functionality, consider magnetic knife rails or utensil hooks on the gantry uprights, and position the table strategically between storage and cooking areas to minimise unnecessary movement.
