A stainless steel equipment stand gives countertop cooking equipment, mixers and other machines a stable base at the right working height. Babak Food Equipment offers equipment stands from Thorinox, Efi, Wolf and Atosa for restaurants, cafés, bakeries, food trucks, caterers and institutional kitchens across Vancouver and British Columbia. A purpose-built stand is lower and stronger than a standard work table, keeps heavy equipment steady and frees floor and counter space for the rest of your line.
Types of equipment stands
Cooking equipment stands
Low stands, typically about 24″ high, for countertop griddles, charbroilers, hot plates and countertop fryers, so the cooking surface sits at a comfortable height.
Mixer and slicer stands
Heavy-duty stands sized for countertop mixers, slicers and food processors, often with an undershelf for attachments and bowls.
Mobile equipment stands
Stands with locking casters make it easy to move equipment for cleaning or to reconfigure a station.
Stands with undershelf or open base
An undershelf adds storage; an open base leaves space for bins or carts. Some stands have a marine edge or raised sides to keep spills and small items from sliding off.
How to choose an equipment stand

Load rating: check the weight of your equipment and choose a stand built for it, especially for mixers and griddles.
Height: pick a height that puts the working surface – not the stand top – at a comfortable level for staff.
Size: the top should match or slightly exceed the equipment footprint, including any legs or feet.
Heat and clearance: under cooking equipment, follow the manufacturer’s clearance requirements and use stainless construction near heat.
Mobility: casters help with cleaning; make sure they lock, and plan gas or electrical connections that allow movement.
Stainless gauge and grade: a heavier gauge top and stainless legs resist sagging and corrosion in hot, wet areas.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an equipment stand and a work table?
An equipment stand is usually lower and built to carry the weight of a specific machine, while a work table is taller and designed as a prep surface.
How tall should a griddle stand be?
Most countertop cooking equipment stands are about 24″ high, so the cooking surface ends up near standard counter height. Check the height of your equipment’s legs before choosing.
Can I put a countertop fryer or griddle on a mobile stand?
Yes, as long as the casters lock and gas or power connections are designed to allow movement, such as a restrained flexible gas connector.
Are equipment stands made of stainless steel?
Most commercial stands have stainless steel tops, and many have stainless or galvanized legs and shelves, for durability and easy cleaning.
