Moffat warns of ‘trampoline effect’ in cheap benches

Benches Built To Last – Not To Bounce

With the expansion of the global market place more catering managers are turning to the internet to source cheap fixtures and fittings for food preparation and storage areas. However it’s a case of ‘buyers beware’ warns fabrication specialists E & R Moffat.

“We are increasingly getting customers coming to us who have purchased cheap imported benches and then finding they are not up to the job,” says Gary Allen from Moffat. “These benches are often unstable and springy, suffering from the ‘trampoline effect’. Some people have actually watched their mixers and other vibrating machinery bouncing along them!”

Moffat has over 40 years experience in fabricating food preparation and storage equipment and all its benches are double skinned for extra strength and rigidity. This means they not only take more static weight but also don’t vibrate excessively once machinery is turned on.

Their sturdy construction from high quality materials ensures they stand up to the punishment dished out in a busy catering environment.And of course all the equipment is manufactured in Great Britain.

E & R Moffat is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of quality foodservice equipment, designing and manufacturing in-house. Based in Bonnybridge, Scotland, the company manufactures standard and bespoke servery, regeneration and storage equipment with a full nationwide after-sales engineering team. E & R Moffat is accredited to ISO 9001:2000 and many of the products have gas approvals and are EMC tested. For more information on E & R Moffat visit the website on www.ermoffat.co.uk
