A light-bodied lane with real storage in it — a drawer bank, a lockable cabinet and a raised screen closing the far end.
Four studio angles of the same build. No crops and no repeats — every frame is a different camera position.
Most checkout counters treat the cabinet below the worktop as a box for the till and its cabling. This one treats it as furniture. A bank of drawers runs down one side of the body, a lockable cabinet sits beside it, and the operator has somewhere to put the things a shift actually generates: rolls, bags, dockets, refund slips and a float that has to be secured every time the lane closes.
The photographs are one build in one colour. The drawer bank, the lockable cabinet and the raised end screen are the fixed part of this counter. Length, depth and colour are not fixed by us — they are fixed by your checkout area, and the table below says exactly which rows are which.

Supermarkets, convenience stores, chain retail and speciality stores. Tell us the store format and the floor area and the specification comes back written against them.
Every close-up below is the same counter, shot in the showroom rather than in the studio. Each one shows a part of the build you would otherwise have to take on trust.
Divided drawers under the worktop
Drawers run on the operator side, divided for coins, notes and the paperwork a lane generates. This is the part that separates a cashier counter from a table with a till on it: everything the operator needs is within reach without leaving the position.
Pressed and welded into the worktop
The well is pressed into the top and welded rather than dropped in as a separate tray. There is no lip for coins to lodge behind and no joint that opens up, which matters on the one surface in the store that is wiped down several times a day.
Aluminium border with a moulded corner cap
The border is closed with a moulded cap at the corner rather than a mitred joint. A mitre opens up over a few years of trolley traffic and a cap does not, and it takes the sharp edge off the part of a lane shoppers walk into.
Textured stainless on the working surface
The deck carries an embossed texture rather than a mirror polish. It hides the fine scratching that any working surface picks up, and it gives packed goods enough grip that they do not slide off when the lane is busy.
Every item on this page is made to order. Send a floor plan, a hand sketch or a photograph of a fixture you like, and we quote against it.
Store fixtures are light for their size, so a container fills up on volume long before it fills up on weight. What decides your freight is not what one unit weighs — it is what shape the goods are in when they go through the container door. Everything we build leaves in one of three shapes, and a bulk island is the one that travels best.
Shelving bays, produce islands and bulk cabinets travel as panels — uprights, shelves, back panels and plinths, strapped flat with bubble wrap on every component. They are built up on the shop floor, so the packing list and the assembly drawings travel with the goods.
Trolleys slide into one another and baskets stack. Past the first unit, each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length, so the shipped volume ends up a fraction of what the unit count suggests.
A checkout lane is welded, coated and fitted out as one piece, so it is crated whole with padding on the steel. Nothing waits to be assembled at the store beyond levelling it into the lane, and the crate is the counter plus a margin.
This modelA checkout lane ships assembled, so the crate is the counter plus a margin and the length you order is the length that loads. That is the expensive end of the freight scale, which is why a counter order is usually put on the same container as flat packed shelving and nested trolleys rather than shipped on its own. The loading plan comes back with your quotation.
A checkout lane almost never arrives alone. These three categories share the front of the store with it, and putting them on one order is what lets a single colour reference run across the whole front, because it becomes one batch of coating rather than three.
The trolley bay sits within a few metres of the lane, and the lane length has to leave room for a loaded trolley to turn out of it.

Send a plan or a photograph of the run you need and we will price it against your opening date.
Tell us the store size and the finish you need; our engineers reply with a counted list.
The ones that come up on nearly every enquiry for this category.
Yes, and it usually has to be. The counter lengths on record across our range are 1200, 1800, 1850 and 2000 mm, in depths from 600 to 1800 mm, all on the same 850 mm worktop height. Those are the sizes that have been built rather than a catalogue you have to choose from. Send us the width available for each lane and the counter is cut to it.
It follows the body length rather than a fixed count, which is why we ask for the lane width first. What is standard is the division: coins and notes separated, with a second level that also takes card slips, refund dockets and change records. Tell us what your operators keep at the lane and the bank is drawn around it.
Yes. The cabinet beside the drawer bank locks, and it is where the float and the equipment live when the lane is closed. On a counter without a belt this is the main security feature of the build, so it is worth confirming the key arrangement you want across a multi-lane order.
It closes the lane off from the aisle behind it. Without it, a shopper standing at the counter is looking straight into the next aisle and goods on the deck can be reached from the wrong side. It also gives the run a definite end, which matters when several lanes stand side by side.
