All-Stainless Work Table

338 products

All-stainless work tables have a stainless steel top, undershelf and legs, so the whole table resists rust in wet, humid and cold areas such as dish rooms, walk-in coolers and meat prep. They are the default prep surface in restaurants, butcher shops, bakeries and commissaries. Tables differ in top gauge and steel grade, length and depth, backsplash, edge profile and undershelf, and some accept casters, drawers or overshelves.

About commercial all-stainless work tables

Before you buy

  1. Match the top's gauge to the work, remembering that a lower number is thicker steel: 14 or 16 gauge for heavy chopping and equipment, 18 gauge for lighter prep.
  2. Choose type 304 stainless for tables near sinks, brine, acids or sanitizer, and consider type 430 only for dry areas.
  3. Add a backsplash when the table sits against a wall so food and liquid cannot fall behind it, and leave the back open on island tables worked from both sides.
  4. Check the working height and whether the feet adjust, because uneven floors and floor drains are common in prep areas.
  5. Confirm the rated load if the table will carry mixers, slicers or other heavy countertop machines, and look for reinforcing channels under the top.

Common questions

What is the difference between 304 and 430 stainless steel?

Type 304 contains nickel, which gives it better resistance to corrosion from salt, acidic foods and cleaning chemicals. Type 430 has little or no nickel, is magnetic and costs less, and it can show rust spots sooner in wet conditions. Many kitchens use 304 near water and 430 on dry prep and storage tables.

What does the gauge of a work table top mean?

Gauge is the thickness of the stainless sheet, and the scale runs backwards, so a lower number is thicker. A thicker top flexes less under heavy equipment and resists dents from cleavers and dropped pans, while a thinner top is lighter and suits general prep. The undershelf is often a lighter gauge than the top.

Can a stainless work table go in a walk-in cooler?

Yes. All-stainless tables are a common choice for walk-in coolers and other cold, damp rooms, because there is no galvanized or painted part to corrode. Measure the walk-in door and interior first, since the table has to fit through the opening and leave clearance for the evaporator's airflow.
