Inlet sink benches
A dirty-dish landing area and sink bowl positioned before the dishwasher, with provision for the selected pre-rinse fitting and waste arrangement.
Home / Products / Dishwasher benches
Dishwasher benches that keep the wash-up moving.
Give dirty dishes a place to land and clean racks somewhere to finish. We fabricate stainless inlet and outlet benches around the dishwasher you use, with sink positions, rack travel and corners arranged for the room.
Concept illustration; details vary by project.
The wash-up layout
Plan the whole path from return to clean rack.
Bench length is only part of the job. Machine connections, rack clearances, scraping space and staff movement determine whether a new wash-up bench improves the room.
Outlet & drying benches
Clear space for clean racks leaving the machine, with surface fall, edges and any lower storage designed around the chosen dishwasher.
Corner connections
Shaped work sections for an L-shaped wash-up area, checking door movement, rack transfer and machine service access before fabrication.
Replacement connecting sections
Replace a corroded or poorly fitting inlet, outlet or infill without assuming that the whole dishwasher area must be rebuilt.
Indicative pricing

Researched planning estimates in NZD, excluding GST. A simple outlet costs less than an inlet with bowls, complex corners and additional storage.

Questions
Common questions about commercial dishwasher inlet and outlet benches.
How do you match a bench to my dishwasher?
We check the machine’s connection details, rack travel and working height. Send the exact model, its installation drawing and photos of the existing interface so the bench can be fabricated to suit.
Can racks move from right to left?
Yes, where the dishwasher supports that direction. Confirm the machine’s inlet and outlet arrangement first, then position sinks, scraping space and clean-rack landing areas around the flow.
Can you include a pre-rinse sink?
A welded bowl and provision for your chosen pre-rinse fitting can be part of the build. Bowl size, tap mounting and waste details need to be confirmed; the tap and plumbing are separate unless the quote includes them.
What should I measure before requesting a quote?
Measure the available wall lengths, aisle width and machine height, then note door swings, pipes and power points. Include photos and the dishwasher installation drawing to establish the connection details.
