Slatted Timber Panel
Open, air moves through
The slats leave a gap between each board. Air moves through the panel instead of sitting still against a sealed one, and on a fixture holding wet produce all day that airflow is doing real work.
Island table · slatted timber · 1200 x 750 x 850
The standard island table, and the one that carries a recorded size. Slatted timber panels in a black frame under a dark deck, built in bays so the run follows the aisle rather than a catalogue length.
Studio angles on white. The slatted panel, the frame, the angled end and the deck are photographed below.
This is the workhorse of a produce department: a long, low island table that a shopper works from both sides, with the goods presented in crates or trays on a dark deck. Our records hold this format at 1200 × 750 × 850 mm per bay, which makes it one of only two builds in this whole category with a dimension we can stand behind rather than estimate.
The body is slatted timber board set into a black steel frame, with angled ends so the island does not present a square corner to trolley traffic. The slats are not decoration: an open panel lets air move under and around the crates, which on a fixture holding wet produce for a full trading day is the difference between fresh and tired.

Two of these four are the slatted panel, because the reason it is slatted is not the reason most buyers assume.
Open, air moves through
The slats leave a gap between each board. Air moves through the panel instead of sitting still against a sealed one, and on a fixture holding wet produce all day that airflow is doing real work.
0.8 to 1.5 mm, welded
The frame is folded and welded rather than bolted, and the panels sit inside it. A damaged panel is replaced on its own without the island coming apart, which on the fixture that takes the most trolley contact in the store matters.
No square corner
The ends are cut at an angle rather than square. A produce aisle is walked at trolley height and a square corner on a full-length island is the corner that gets clipped, week after week.
For crates and trays
The deck is dark so the produce carries the colour. It is the correct decision for a department where the merchandise is the brightest thing in the room and every other surface should get out of its way.
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.
This model
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.
Produce islands ship flat as panels, so the container arithmetic runs on panel count rather than on finished size. Two of the builds in this category carry recorded dimensions — 1200 × 750 × 850 mm for the standard island table and 1200 × 800 × 1300 mm for the tall build — and those two are the reference points a loading plan is worked from. Everything else is cut to your aisle and confirmed on the packing list.
Produce is the wettest, heaviest and fastest turning department in the store, and it rarely arrives on its own. These three categories share the fresh aisle with it.
Where the produce run meets the fish counter, both fixtures want stainless at the contact surfaces and a drain in the same floor.
See ice display tablesLoose dry goods sit alongside loose produce in most store plans, and the two departments are read by shoppers as one open market area.
See bulk food binsProduce is promoted harder than any other department, and a 1000 mm square at the head of the aisle is how a glut gets moved.
See promotional display tablesHow 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.
This is the build with a recorded size: 1200 × 750 × 850 mm per bay. Send your aisle length.
Send the aisle length you have to fill. Recorded bays are 1200 × 750 × 850 mm, so the bay count follows directly from your run.
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.
1200 × 750 × 850 mm per bay is on record for this format, and it is one of only two dimensioned builds in this category. Longer runs are multiples of the bay, so send the aisle length and the bay count comes back with it.
Air. A sealed panel around wet produce traps moisture against the crates; an open one lets it move. It also happens to look better, but airflow is the reason it is built that way.
Yes, and then it becomes a shallower fixture because nobody reaches it from the back. Tell us which it is with the layout, because it changes the depth rather than just the finish.
Crates, trays or open decking, decided against your range. Loose leaf, bagged salad and hard fruit all want different presentations, so the deck fit-out is drawn against what you actually merchandise.
