Stainless Steel & Fabrication
Stainless steel and fabrication covers the workhorse kitchen equipment made from food-grade stainless steel: catering trolleys, commercial shelving, sinks and taps used across pubs, restaurants, hotels, dark kitchens and care homes. 304-grade stainless steel is the standard for food-contact and washdown areas thanks to its corrosion resistance, with load capacity and dimensions sized against the kitchen layout. Sub-categories cover trolleys (including gastronorm, plate and service trolleys), shelving, sinks and taps as the core moveable and fixed fabrication needed to run a compliant commercial kitchen.
Key specifications
Across the branch, shelving runs 300-610mm deep in widths to 1830mm with per-shelf ratings of 40-150kg+, sinks span compact hand-wash units up to 2400mm multi-bowl pot-wash runs with 250-300mm deep bowls, and trolleys carry 100-300kg on braked castors.
Stainless Steel & Fabrication — FAQs
Why is 304 stainless steel standard for commercial kitchen fabrication?
304-grade stainless steel resists corrosion from food acids, cleaning chemicals and constant washdown far better than mild or lower-grade steel, and meets UK food-hygiene requirements for food-contact surfaces.
How do I choose between different types of stainless steel fabrication?
Match the piece to its job: trolleys for moving stock and gastronorms between areas, shelving for dry and cold storage, and sinks for washing and food prep — most commercial kitchens need a combination of all three.
