The Undershelf
Undershelves on Advance Tabco worktables are made with a larger welded surface area than competitors. A larger welded area offers more strength and reduces the risk of the leg clamp breaking. Their unique weld area also maximizes the size of the undershelf.
Added Hat Channel Reinforcement
Bending metal adds strength to the material. Advance Tabco hat channels are roll-formed and grooved, adding strength to the table. Hat channels add structural integrity to the underside of a table. Sound deadening material is used between the table bottom and hat channel, making it more pleasant to use in a loud kitchen.

Stronger Gussets
Advance Tabco stainless steel gussets are 33% longer, creating balance and stability in the legs – This allows the table to hold more weight. Stainless steel construction is stronger than the competitive galvanized metal used in standard gussets.
Add Drawers
All Advance Tabco tables that are made in the USA feature brackets allowing you to add drawers in the future. This creates flexibility for changing storage needs. Watch this video to learn how easy it is to install an Advance Tabco drawer!
