Meat Cutting Table (2 × 4)

About the Meat Cutting Table

A Meat Cutting Table is a specialized work surface designed for the safe, sanitary, and efficient processing of raw meat, fish, and poultry in commercial environments such as butcher shops, meat processors, commercial kitchens, and abattoirs. These tables are built to handle the heavy-duty demands of cutting, boning, and trimming operations.

They are engineered with hygiene and durability in mind, often featuring materials that are easy to clean and approved for food contact by organizations like the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) or USDA.

✨ Key Features

Meat Cutting Tables typically include features that enhance durability, sanitation, and functionality:

• Worktop Material: The cutting surface is most often made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), also referred to as a "poly top" or "polytop".

  • This material is cut-resistant, tough, resistant to warping, and provides a sanitary surface for food preparation.

  • The tops are often removable and come in various thicknesses (e.g., 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 20mm, 25mm, 50mm) depending on whether they are primarily used for general cutting (knives) or heavy chopping (cleavers).

• Frame/Base Construction: The frame is typically constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel (often Grade 304, AISI 304 18-10) for maximum corrosion resistance and durability.

• Undershelf: A stainless steel undershelf is a common feature, providing valuable storage space for tools, supplies, ingredient bins, or equipment.

• Backsplash/Riser: Many models include a rear backsplash (or riser) to contain liquids and splatter, directing them away from the wall and promoting cleanliness.

• Stability and Adjustability: Tables generally have sturdy legs with adjustable feet (like stainless steel bullet feet) to ensure the table is level and stable on uneven floors.

• Optional/Alternative Features:

  • Drainage: Some tables include a liquid drain hole, liquid tray, and a diamond bottom top to manage runoff.

  • Mobility: Castors or wheels can be added for easy mobility.
