Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this collection.

Stainless steel grade affects both durability and hygiene performance, which is why it's worth checking before you buy. Most commercial kitchen equipment, including benches, sinks, and shelving, is made from either 304 or 430 grade stainless steel. Grade 304 contains a higher nickel content, giving it better corrosion resistance, making it well suited to wet areas, food prep surfaces, and anywhere exposed to acidic foods or frequent washdowns. Grade 430 is a more budget-friendly option with less corrosion resistance, generally suited to drier applications like shelving or splashbacks away from constant moisture. For food prep benches, sinks, and dishwasher areas, 304 grade is usually the better long-term choice given the demands of a commercial kitchen. If you're not sure which grade suits a specific piece of equipment or application in your kitchen, check the product listing or ask our team before you order.
Many stainless steel products, particularly benches, shelving, and modular systems, are available in a range of standard sizes to suit different kitchen footprints, and some suppliers offer made-to-order options for spaces with unusual dimensions or awkward layouts. Standard sizing works well for most straightforward kitchen fit-outs, but if you're working with an irregular space, tight corners, or specific height requirements, it's worth checking what customisation options are available before committing to a standard unit. Measuring your available space carefully, including doorways and access points for delivery, is essential regardless of whether you're going custom or standard, since stainless steel benches can be heavy and awkward to manoeuvre once assembled. If your kitchen layout is a bit unconventional and you're not sure whether a standard bench will fit or whether you need a custom solution, send us your measurements and we'll help you figure out the best option.
Stainless steel is popular in commercial kitchens because it's relatively low maintenance, but a bit of regular care goes a long way toward keeping it corrosion-resistant and looking presentable. Wiping down surfaces daily with warm soapy water and a soft cloth removes most food residue and grease without damaging the finish, and it's best to always wipe in the direction of the grain rather than in circles, which can create fine scratches over time. Avoid abrasive scourers, steel wool, or harsh chlorine-based cleaners where possible, as these can damage the protective surface layer and make the steel more prone to staining or corrosion over time. For tougher marks, a stainless steel cleaner designed for commercial kitchens is usually the safest option. Routine cleaning also supports food safety compliance, since built-up grime can harbour bacteria. If you're after cleaning product recommendations for a specific item, our team is happy to help.
Freestanding stainless steel benches, shelving units, and trolleys are generally straightforward for staff to position and, in many cases, self-assemble, since they don't require plumbing or wiring connections. Stainless steel sinks are a different matter, as they need to be connected to water supply and drainage, which typically requires a licensed plumber to ensure the installation meets local plumbing codes and functions correctly long term. If your fit-out includes a dishwasher bench or a sink with integrated drainage, it's worth factoring in trade costs and installation time alongside the cost of the equipment itself. For modular systems that bolt together across multiple bench sections, following the manufacturer's assembly instructions carefully helps ensure everything sits level and stable. If you're not sure what a specific stainless steel item will need in terms of installation, our team can clarify before you order.
Yes, Cater Central delivers stainless steel benches, shelving, sinks, and modular systems to businesses across Australia, from major capital cities through to regional and remote areas. We warehouse stock in the major capital cities, so metro deliveries are often quick, with next-day delivery available in some cities depending on stock availability at the time of order. Regional and remote deliveries will generally take a little longer to arrange, and freight costs vary depending on your destination and the size of the item, since stainless steel equipment ranges from compact wall shelves and trolleys to large benches and modular systems that need appropriate freight handling. We'd recommend confirming freight costs and delivery timeframes before finalising your order, particularly for bulkier items or a tight fit-out deadline. If you need equipment by a specific date, get in touch with our team and we'll give you an accurate timeframe for your postcode.
