Counter & beverage trays
Trays for drink-service areas with a removable insert or grate where useful, sized to the counter and the dispensing arrangement.
Home / Products / Drip trays & catch trays
A drip tray that fits the space and empties sensibly.
Catch everyday drips beneath equipment, at a drinks counter or in a cleaning area. We make stainless trays to the footprint you need, with folded edges, removable inserts or a waste connection agreed around how the tray will be used and cleaned.
Concept illustration; details vary by project.
Tray applications
Match the tray to the liquid and the cleaning routine.
A shallow counter tray, a catch pan under a machine and a wash-down tray have different priorities. Specify the liquid, temperature, expected volume and how someone will reach the tray to empty or clean it.
Equipment catch trays
A tray beneath specified equipment, with edges and cut-outs arranged around the feet, pipes and service access. Support requirements are checked if equipment sits on the tray.
Drained trays
A welded outlet or agreed waste fitting to suit the installation, with its position and the route to waste confirmed before manufacture.
Removable liners & replacement pans
Lift-out trays made to fit an existing shelf, cabinet or machine opening, allowing enough clearance for removal without tipping the contents.

Questions
Common questions about custom stainless drip trays and catch trays.
Can the tray have a drain?
Yes, a drain outlet can be included in the brief. Specify the fitting, outlet location and waste route, and allow access for cleaning it. The plumber should confirm the connection where the tray drains into building services.
Can equipment sit on top of the tray?
Yes, when the tray and its support are designed for the equipment. Send the operating weight and foot positions so Matt can plan the tray, any grate and the load path to the supporting surface.
Can I use it as a chemical spill bund?
Send the chemical, required containment volume and site specification. Matt can assess the material and fabrication requirements and confirm any design or verification needed for that application.
How do I measure a tray that slides into an existing opening?
Measure the smallest clear width, depth and height along the whole removal route, not just the space at the back. Allow room for fingers or handles, and send photos of anything that prevents the tray lifting or sliding out.

Send the available footprint, maximum edge height, what liquid the tray will catch and how it will empty. Include equipment photos, any support or load requirements, and whether a removable grate or drain fitting is needed.
