Two-Tone Cash Desk Counter with a Mirror Polished Stainless Top
A two-tone body under a mirror polished top — the build a store reaches for when the front end is meant to be looked at rather than only used.
Four studio angles of the same build. No crops and no repeats — every frame is a different camera position.
Most of this range is specified on what it can do. This one is specified partly on how it looks: a mirror polished stainless top over a two-tone powder coated body, with an L-shaped return closing the run. It is the build that goes into a front end which is visible from the door and is meant to set the tone of the shop.
That is not at the expense of the construction. Underneath the finish it is the same counter as the rest of the range — cold rolled steel, aluminium border, moulded corner caps — and it sits on the same 850 mm worktop, so it lines up with any other lane in the same front end.

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 steel, one surface
The top is polished rather than embossed. It looks considerably better under shop lighting and it shows marks more readily, which is the trade-off: this is a finish for a front end that gets wiped down properly rather than one that gets away with it.
Aluminium border with a moulded cap
The polished top is held inside an aluminium alloy border, closed at the corner with a moulded cap. On a mirror finish this matters more than usual, because a damaged edge is far more visible on a polished surface than on a textured one.
Two powder coat references on one body
The body carries two colour references split down a panel line. Both are quoted as RAL or PANTONE and both are held across the rest of the order, so a two-tone counter can still match the shelving behind it in one of its two colours.
Dark skirting along the cabinet base
A dark skirting runs along the base of every cabinet panel. It is where mops, trolley wheels and pallet trucks land, and keeping it dark and separate means the visible panels above it stay clean-looking for far longer.
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.

Packing
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 equipment lists by store size.
Send the lane width and the two colour references you want on the body. A two-tone counter is quoted the same way as a single colour one.
Three things move the price on this counter: the lane length, the packing return and whether the top is polished or embossed. All three can be answered in a sentence.
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 shows marks more readily than the embossed finish used on working lanes, so it suits a front end that is wiped down properly rather than one that gets away with it. In exchange it looks considerably better under shop lighting, which is the whole reason to specify it.
Yes. The two panel colours are quoted as separate RAL or PANTONE references and split down the panel line. Both are held across the rest of the order, so a two-tone counter can still match the shelving behind it in at least one of its two colours.
It closes the end of the run and gives the shopper somewhere to pack. It also turns the queue away from the main aisle rather than leaving it running straight into the walkway, which is worth as much on a busy front end as the extra worktop is.
Yes. Every counter on record in this range sits on an 850 mm worktop, and the 600 x 600 x 850 mm cashier station module matches, so a polished lane and a plain one stand side by side without the surfaces stepping.
