The HQZ240 is an 8-foot folding bench table built for event catering, outdoor hospitality, and temporary seating in high-turnover food service operations. It measures 2400×760×740mm and folds in half for transport and storage. Used by hotels, banquet caterers, and mobile food businesses requiring rapid setup and breakdown.
Commercial Application
Catering operations require furniture that deploys quickly and stores compactly between events. The HQZ240 addresses this by folding flat and fitting into commercial vans or storage rooms without occupying permanent floor space.
Setup takes under 60 seconds. Legs lock into place without tools. After service, the unit folds in half, weighs light enough for single-person handling, and stacks with other units for multi-event transport.
