Cash Desk Counter with a Column Arm for the Till Screen and Scanner
A dark lane with the till lifted off the deck — the monitor and scanner ride on a column arm, leaving the whole worktop free to work on.
Three studio angles of the same build. No crops and no repeats — every frame is a different camera position.
The problem this build solves is small and constant: a till monitor and a scanner standing on the worktop take up the part of the deck the cashier most needs, and every basket has to be worked around them. Lifting both onto a column arm gives that space back, and it puts the screen at the operator's eye line instead of below it.
The photographs are one build in one colour. The column arm, the stainless deck and the powder coated cabinet are the fixed part of this counter. Length, depth and colour are not — they are fixed by your checkout area, and the arm is fitted to the terminal you actually own.

Supermarkets, convenience stores, chain retail and speciality stores. Tell us the store format and the floor area and the specification comes back written against them.
Every close-up below is the same counter, shot in the showroom rather than in the studio. Each one shows a part of the build you would otherwise have to take on trust.
Polished stainless, pressed and welded
The deck and the well are one stainless surface, pressed and welded rather than assembled from panels. With the screen and the scanner lifted onto the arm, the whole of this surface is available to the cashier, which is the point of the build.
Monitor and scanner mounted clear of the deck
The arm carries both the screen and the scanner off a single column. The mounting is made to the terminal you already own rather than to a generic bracket, which is why sending a photograph of your equipment is more useful than describing it.
Aluminium border, moulded cap at each end
The stainless top is closed with an aluminium border, and the border is finished with a moulded cap at the corner rather than a mitred joint. It is the corner that trolleys find, and a cap survives that where a mitre opens up.
Cold rolled steel under a plastic powder coat
The cabinet is cold rolled steel under a plastic powder coat in whichever RAL or PANTONE reference the store works to, with a dark kick plate along the base where mops and trolley wheels land.
Every item on this page is made to order. Send a floor plan, a hand sketch or a photograph of a fixture you like, and we quote against it.
Store fixtures are light for their size, so a container fills up on volume long before it fills up on weight. The number that decides your freight is therefore not what one unit weighs — it is what shape the goods are in when they go through the container door. Everything we build leaves in one of three shapes, and which one it is changes the arithmetic completely.
Shelving bays, produce islands and bulk cabinets travel as panels — uprights, shelves, back panels and plinths, strapped flat. They are built up on the shop floor, so the packing list and the assembly drawings travel with the goods.
Trolleys slide into one another and baskets stack. Past the first unit, each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length, so the shipped volume ends up a fraction of what the unit count suggests.
A checkout lane is welded, coated and fitted out as one piece, so it is crated whole with padding on the steel. Nothing waits to be assembled at the store beyond levelling it into the lane. It also means the crate is the counter plus a margin, so the length you order is the length that ships.

Export wooden case
Standard export crate with impact padding on the steel parts, built for the length of a sea passage rather than for a warehouse move.
Per container
Per loading plan
We do not publish a units per container figure, because it moves with the length you order. A 1200 lane and a 2000 lane do not load the same way.
Send us the quantity and the destination port. We come back with a loading plan built on your actual counter length, not on a catalogue average.
Almost nobody buys one checkout counter. A front end is ordered as a set, and these three categories are the ones that come with it most often. Putting them on the same order is also what lets one colour run across the whole front of the store, because it is then one batch of coating rather than three.
They belong to the same part of the floor, and they ship nested, so adding them to a counter order costs far less container volume than the unit count makes it look.
See shopping carts and basketsThe impulse position sits in front of the lanes, so these stands are read as part of the checkout even though they are a separate category on the order.
See promotional display tablesThe end bays that close off each aisle behind the checkouts are the shelving a shopper sees while queuing, so they carry the same colour and the same shelf finish as the lanes.
See shelving baysHow many of each a store needs is a floor area question rather than a product question, and it is answered store by store on the supermarket layout design page.
Send the lane width and a photograph of the till and scanner you are fitting. The arm mounting is made to your terminal, so the photograph saves a round trip.
Two things move the price on this counter: how long each lane is, and what the column arm has to carry. A photograph of the equipment is enough for the second.
The four that come up on nearly every enquiry for this build. If yours is not here, send it with your drawing and it is answered alongside the quotation.
It is made to fit them rather than the other way round. The mounting is drawn against the monitor and the scanner you already own, so send a photograph or the model numbers with your enquiry. Fitting a generic bracket and hoping is the one way this build goes wrong.
Two reasons. It gives back the part of the deck the cashier most needs, so a full basket can be worked without going round the terminal. And it puts the screen at eye line rather than below it, which over a full shift is the difference between looking at a screen and stooping to it.
Inside the column and out through the cabinet, rather than across the deck. That is decided when the counter is drawn, along with the cut-out, which is another reason the terminal has to be known before the counter is made rather than after.
Yes, though not as photographed. A belt is a lane-by-lane decision across the range: the longer sizes are normally built with one and the shorter ones without. Tell us which of your lanes need a belt and both versions are priced side by side.
