What is the Advance Tabco Difference? 

There are several manufacturers of stainless steel worktables on the market. Many of them create durable and functional tables, but what makes Advance Tabco an industry-leader and winner of 2017 Best in Class for Prefabricated Worktables? It starts with manufacturing in the USA.

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.

Hat Channels

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.
