- Model: Base cabinet 60x236 BLUM HK-XS
This 236 cm tall cabinet uses BLUM HK-XS lift hardware for vertical access in commercial kitchens with high ceilings. The unit measures 60 cm wide and stores dry goods, plated serviceware, and small equipment in hotels, restaurants, and catering facilities. Operators access upper shelves via mechanical lift assist without ladders or step stools.
Commercial Application
The cabinet organises bulk dry storage and reserves in prep areas, walk-in zones, and service corridors. It reduces floor space requirements by stacking storage vertically. Operations with 3-metre or higher ceilings can consolidate inventory into fewer units.
Used during prep and mise en place to house flour, sugar, oils, plated items, and back-stock serviceware. The BLUM lift mechanism brings high shelves to counter height. Staff retrieve items without climbing, improving workflow speed and reducing injury risk.

Q: What is the maximum shelf load capacity with the BLUM lift system?
A: Each shelf supports up to 20 kg when using the BLUM HK-XS lift hardware. Overloading will damage the spring mechanism and void the hardware warranty.
