Recessed scale well · glass screen · built to your scale
A service desk with the scale recessed into the worktop rather than standing on it, so the weighing surface sits flush with the counter and goods slide on instead of being lifted.
One studio angle on white with close-ups below. Ask if you need a particular view before ordering and we will photograph it.
A scale sitting on a counter creates a step. Every item has to be lifted over it, the platform collects everything that falls off it, and the cable runs across the working surface. Recessing the scale into the worktop removes all three problems at once: goods slide onto the platform, the surface wipes down in one pass, and the cable is under the counter where it belongs.
That only works if the well is cut to your actual scale, which is why it is the first thing we ask for. Above the worktop a raised glass screen gives the served position some separation, and the body is timber board over a steel carcase so the desk matches the fixtures around it.

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.
Three close-ups for this build. The scale well is the whole specification and it is the first of them.
Cut to your scale
The well is cut so the scale platform finishes flush with the worktop. A well that is even slightly oversized leaves a gap that collects everything, which is why we need the actual scale model rather than a nominal size.
Above the worktop
The screen gives the served position some separation without closing it off. On an information or weighing desk the shopper needs to be heard, so the screen is raised rather than full height.
Board over steel
Board over a steel carcase, taking the same finishes as the rest of the store. A service desk is usually one of very few fixtures in its position, so it matching the rest of the shop matters more than usual.
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.
Service desks flat pack as panels, worktop and screen. Three desks are on record for this category — KS-F-01, KS-F-02 and KS-SG-01 — and each is built to the counter position rather than sold in a fixed size, which is why a service desk is drawn from scratch far more often than it is picked from a range.
A service desk sits where the store answers questions and weighs things, which puts it between the fresh departments and the front of store.
Fresh produce and the wet counters share a floor drain and a wash-down routine, and they are read as one department.
See produce display racksWhere the wet counter meets the cooked food counter, both want stainless at the contact surfaces.
See deli display casesA served wet counter needs somewhere to weigh, and the scale well is built into the desk rather than sat on it.
See store service countersHow 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 the make and model of your scale. The well is cut to it.
Send the make and model of the scale you use, and the counter position it stands in. The well is cut to your actual equipment rather than to a generic opening.

It is cut to your actual scale rather than to a generic opening, so send the make and model. A well that is even slightly oversized leaves a gap around the platform that collects everything dropped near it.
Three service desks are on record and each is built to the counter position rather than sold in a fixed size. A service desk is drawn from scratch far more often than it is picked from a range, which is why we ask for the position rather than quoting a size.
Yes, and on a service desk it is usually worth it — this is often where returns, lost property and cash floats end up. Tell us what you keep in it and the locking comes back on the drawing.
Three are on record and one is photographed. Ask and we will send what we have on the other two rather than showing you the same desk from three angles and calling it a range.
