SE3636ECR2

Overview

The Atosa SE3636ECR2 is a 36" x 36" stainless steel equipment stand from Atosa's MixRite line of stainless fabrication products. It belongs to the manufacturer's 36 Inch Series of equipment stands, a family built on the same construction approach across four widths: this 36-inch-wide model, along with the SE3630ECR2 (36" x 30"), SE3648ECR2 (36" x 48") and SE3660ECR2 (36" x 60"). The SE3636ECR2 gives a commercial kitchen a sturdy stainless landing surface for countertop equipment, with an open adjustable shelf below for storage. It ships knocked down (KD) with the tools for assembly included in the carton.

Key Features

• Sturdy stainless steel top and undershelf – 18-gauge stainless steel forms both the work surface and the lower shelf.
• H-shape reinforced rib – an added H-shape rib underneath the top surface lets it support more evenly distributed weight, which matters when heavy countertop equipment sits on the stand for long stretches.
• Safety hemmed edge – a hemmed edge around the sides and back comes standard and helps keep equipment and other contents from sliding off the stand.
• Adjustable undershelf – reposition the shelf to suit what you store below, whether that is pots and pans, small appliances or back-up dry goods.
• Adjustable bullet feet – 1-inch adjustable bullet feet let you level the stand on uneven floors for optimum stability.
• Stainless steel hat channel, leg and socket – the structural components are stainless steel, matching the surface material throughout the stand.
• Ships KD with tools included – knockdown packaging keeps the carton compact, and the included tools make assembly straightforward on site.
• Optional casters – a 5-inch-high caster kit with 1-1/2-inch expanding stems (set of 4, part # WA400001) is available as an accessory for this stand.

Installation & Requirements

The SE3636ECR2 ships knocked down rather than pre-assembled, so plan for on-site assembly when the carton arrives. Atosa includes the tools needed for easy assembly with the stand, so no separate tool purchase is required to put it together. Once the legs and undershelf are in place, adjust the 1-inch bullet feet at the bottom of each leg to level the stand and eliminate wobble on uneven floor surfaces — a level footprint is what gives the stand its stated optimum stability. If you want the stand to be mobile instead of fixed in place, the optional WA400001 caster kit adds four 5-inch-high casters with 1-1/2-inch expanding stems.

Operation

In day-to-day use, the SE3636ECR2 works as a support surface and a storage unit in one. Set the countertop equipment on the stainless top; the H-shape reinforced rib underneath the surface is there to support more evenly distributed weight, so heavy equipment sits on a reinforced platform rather than on bare sheet. The safety hemmed edge running around the sides and back helps keep the equipment and any other contents on the stand from sliding off during service. Below the top, the adjustable stainless undershelf gives you open storage — keep frequently used pots, pans or supplies within reach without giving up floor space to a separate shelving unit. If the stand is fitted with the optional caster kit, it can be repositioned around the kitchen as your layout changes.

Applications

Equipment stands like the SE3636ECR2 are a fixture in restaurant and institutional kitchens wherever countertop equipment needs a home at working height. Typical uses include supporting countertop cooking equipment such as griddles and hot plates, holding coffee and tea equipment, or carrying small appliances in prep areas. The 36" x 36" footprint and 25 3/4" height suit tighter kitchens, food trucks and bakery or café stations where a full-size work table would crowd the room but a sturdy platform with storage underneath is still needed. With the undershelf loaded and the bullet feet levelled, the stand doubles as open shelving for back-of-house storage, and with the optional casters installed it can serve as a mobile staging stand for catering or event service.
