Deep Pressed Well
One piece, no seam
The well is pressed into the sheet rather than welded up from flats. There is no internal corner for anything to lodge in, and goods slid across the top stop in it rather than over it.
L-shaped lane · deep pressed well · stainless plinth band
An L-shaped lane with the stainless top running unbroken through the corner, a deep pressed well at the till position, and open storage along the staff side of the base.
Three studio angles on white, including the staff side. The well, the plinth band, the top edge and the body panel are photographed below.
The corner is what this counter is built around. The stainless top runs the full length of both legs and carries through the turn in one line, so the counter reads as a single object rather than as two units pushed together — and there is no joint at the corner, which is exactly where spillage collects on a counter built the other way.
At the till position the top is pressed into a deep well with heavily rolled edges, so goods slid across stop in it rather than over it. Along the base runs a brushed stainless plinth band, and behind the counter the base opens into storage compartments with vented panels rather than being closed off — the cashier reaches bags and consumables without turning away from the lane.

Two of these four are the surfaces a shopper touches, and two are the details that decide how the counter looks after a year in a corner position.
One piece, no seam
The well is pressed into the sheet rather than welded up from flats. There is no internal corner for anything to lodge in, and goods slid across the top stop in it rather than over it.
Full base line
A brushed stainless band runs the whole base and wraps the corner. It is at trolley height, which is why it is steel rather than coated panel — this is the line that takes contact every day.
Rolled, not folded
The edge is rolled right over rather than folded once. It takes the weight of somebody leaning on it and it keeps the cut edge of the sheet away from hands at exactly hip height.
Charcoal, powder coated
The body is plainly finished so the stainless does the work visually. Where the two meet, the top overhangs slightly, which keeps a wet surface from running down onto the coated panel.
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. What decides your freight is 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.
Shelving bays, produce islands and bulk cabinets travel as panels — uprights, shelves, back panels and plinths, strapped flat with bubble wrap on every component. 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, and the crate is the counter plus a margin.
This modelA checkout lane ships assembled, so the crate is the counter plus a margin and the length you order is the length that loads. That is the expensive end of the freight scale, which is why a counter order is usually put on the same container as flat packed shelving and nested trolleys rather than shipped on its own. The loading plan comes back with your quotation.
A checkout lane almost never arrives alone. These three categories share the front of the store with it, and putting them on one order is what lets a single colour reference run across the whole front, because it becomes one batch of coating rather than three.
The trolley bay sits within a few metres of the lane, and the lane length has to leave room for a loaded trolley to turn out of it.
See shopping carts and basketsThe 1000 mm promotion square is what fills the queue side of a lane, and it is the cheapest impulse position in the store.
See retail display tablesThe bays a shopper faces while queuing carry the same colour and board tone as the lane itself.
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 store layout planning page.
Send both wall lengths at the corner and which way your entrance opens.
Send the two wall lengths at your corner and tell us which way the entrance door swings. Those two answers set the leg lengths and the hand of the counter between them.
The four that come up on nearly every enquiry for this build. If yours is not here, send it with your layout and it is answered alongside the quotation.
The line does. Depending on the leg lengths the pressing may be made in sections, but the joint is placed away from the corner rather than in it, because the corner is where spillage collects on an L-shaped counter.
So the cashier reaches bags and consumables without turning away from the lane. On a corner counter the cashier is fixed in one position, and anything behind a door is something they have to stop serving to get.
Yes. Which leg carries the till and which carries the run is set per order, and it is decided by which way your entrance door swings rather than by preference. Tell us the door and we will draw it the right way round.
Because that line is at trolley height and it takes contact every single day. A coated plinth chips at the first strike and shows it; brushed stainless takes the same strike and does not.
