The Venancio ESL18 Equipment Stand
The Venancio ESL18 is a 18 inch wide open top equipment stand built to carry Venancio Professional countertop cooking equipment at working height. It suits a single 18 inch countertop hotplate, charbroiler, or griddle at the end of a line. The top is an open welded frame rather than a solid deck, so a countertop unit drops in with its own feet removed and sits locked in the frame without fasteners once you add the optional installation kit. A solid stainless steel undershelf below keeps sauce pans, hotel pans, and backup product within reach of the cook. It is intended for commercial kitchens only, and installation of the stand together with the countertop unit should be done by a trained professional. It ships as one fully welded piece; no electrical or gas connection is required.
Fully Welded Stainless Steel Tubular Frame
The frame is tubular stainless steel welded at every joint, unlike a bolted knock-down stand that loosens as it gets pushed and pulled during cleaning. The base, panel, and sides are stainless steel, so grease and boilover from the equipment above wipe off without staining. The stand needs no clearance to combustible or non-combustible surfaces at the sides or rear; you only need to respect the spacing requirements of the countertop unit sitting on it.
Load Bearing Undershelf with Height Adjustment
The lower shelf is structural, not just storage. It ties the four legs together and must stay in place, and its height can be adjusted to suit what you store under the line. The stand rides on 6 inch highly polished chrome adjustable steel legs, 2 inches in diameter, so you can level it on an uneven floor and match the height of neighboring equipment. An optional 6 inch caster kit swaps in for mobile cleaning access.
