Underbar Storage & Fillers

Underbar Cabinets: What You Need to Know

In their simplest form, underbar cabinets consist of an open base on legs with a counter. Employees can use this countertop as part of their workstation or to hold smallware temporarily. As they are a simple way to organize glassware when it isn't in use, underbar spacers are great for optimizing efficiency. These units can also store dry product that doesn't require refrigeration. If you'd like to house more smallware than the bottom of an underbar filler allows, invest in a middle shelf to stack product on multiple surfaces in a single footprint.

Underbar storage is simple to use and maintain. These units typically are constructed of stainless steel, a metal that facilitates cleaning and resists dents and dings, and there are several underbar cabinet accessories available to enhance your bar area's cleanliness. Splash guards, for example, can be installed on most underbar units. When spills occur, underbar spacer splash guards can contain liquids to one area, preventing a larger mess.

Common Questions About Underbar Storage

What are underbar spacer kick plates?

Underbar filler kick plates are an addition to the bottom of the unit's door that reduces damage and stress inflicted on the door over time, and they're installed on the exterior. This accessory enables employees to open the unit without placing product down or risk dropping smallware on the floor. Like underbar storage units, kick plates usually are made of stainless steel, which is advantageous because we recommend matching the kick plate material to the door.

Should you invest in kick plates for your underbar cabinet?

Underbar spacer kick plates enable employees to open the door easily with their shoes, and they slow wear and tear on your unit. Underbar filler kick plates prevent dents, scratches, and more, so we recommend investing in these if you want to extend the unit's lifetime at your establishment.

Kick plates are designed to guard underbar storage against damage. The higher the traffic volume behind your bar, the more essential underbar cabinet kick plates become. This feature is becoming less an accessory and more a necessity as its popularity grows.

What's the difference between underbar filler casters and wheels?

Underbar storage caster assemblies contain a bracket and a wheel, which is sometimes referred to as a fork or yoke. The bracket containing the wheel is what differentiates a caster from a wheel, so if you need to replace the wheel on your underbar cabinet, search for a caster, not a wheel.

What casters are available for underbar storage?

Casters are designed to make your underbar spacer mobile. Underbar filler casters are available in two configurations: plate mounted and stem mounted. Plate-mounted casters feature a flat bracket with mounting holes, enabling you to flatten the assembly against the surface you'll attach it to. Stem-mounted casters don't have a flat surface; these casters are attached by locking or threading them to a pintle or spring retention clip.
