Description
The 1.6m Serve Over Counter is a plug-in refrigerated service display cabinet built for butchers, delicatessens, farm shops and fresh food retailers. At 1590mm wide, the 1.6m model is the most widely specified size in the VMAX flat glass serve-over range — the point at which display capacity becomes genuinely generous while the counter remains manageable within a typical shop floor layout. Suited to butchers, delicatessens, cheesemongers, farm shops and food-to-go operators, it provides enough deck length to lay out a proper range of cuts, cheeses or prepared foods with clear separation between products, supported by a flat glass front, stainless steel deck, intermediate glass shelf and ventilated cooling.
The Practical Working Size
Serve-over counters are working equipment before they are display equipment — and the 1.6m width is where the working aspect and the display aspect come into balance. There is enough deck length to lay out product properly, with space between varieties rather than a crowded single row, and enough width for two customers to be served simultaneously without staff getting in each other’s way behind the counter. The intermediate glass shelf adds a second display level that can be used for higher-margin or premium lines at eye level while bulk product sits on the deck below. The flat glass front keeps the display visually clean and unobstructed — a straight, sharp sightline into the cabinet that suits a modern retail aesthetic better than the curved glass of older designs.
Key Features
- Flat glass front – straight vertical front glass with angled top panel; clean, unobstructed sightline into the display
