This offer ends in:
The AX516 is a 1525×1525mm square folding table built for banqueting, buffet service, and temporary food preparation zones in catering operations. The plywood top with PVC edge protection handles repeated setup and breakdown across events. Folding steel legs lock in place during service and collapse flat for transport between sites.
Commercial Application
Hotels and conference centres deploy this table for breakfast buffets, banquet seating, and meeting room layouts where tables must be stored between bookings. The square format seats eight guests or supports chafing dishes and cold display equipment. Staff unfold and lock the frame in under 30 seconds.
Catering companies use this unit at off-site events where vehicle space is limited. The folding design reduces trailer volume when transporting tables for weddings, corporate functions, or outdoor festivals. Multiple units stack vertically when folded, maximizing storage density in vans and warehouse racking.
