Mobile Folding Canteen Tables
Convert your hall into a dining room in minutes. The challenge for many modern schools is space. A single hall often needs to serve as an assembly point, gym, and cafeteria all in one day. Cobolt Furniture’s mobile folding canteen tables are the definitive solution. These ingenious units combine tables and seating into one foldable structure that can be wheeled away by a single person.
Designed for speed and durability, our tables are the cornerstone of efficient school dining. Available in varying heights for Primary and Secondary students, and offering seating capacities from 8 to 16, they eliminate the need for carrying individual chairs and tables. Browse our full canteen furniture range for static alternatives.
Fold & Roll
One-person operation. Our tables feature a counter-balanced folding mechanism and heavy-duty locking castors. This allows a caretaker to fold the table, lock it safely, and roll it into storage effortlessly.
Integrated Seating
Tidy & quiet. With stools attached directly to the frame, there are no loose chairs to scrape across the floor or get lost. This significantly reduces noise and speeds up cleaning times after lunch.
Primary & Secondary
Correct sizing. We offer three standard heights. 650mm/685mm for Primary Schools (allowing 12-16 seats per table) and 735mm for Secondary/Adults (typically 8-12 seats per table).
Hygienic Tops
Wipe clean. The table tops are finished in high-pressure laminate with a seamless polyurethane edge. This prevents food and bacteria from being trapped in joins, ensuring high hygiene standards.
Space Efficient
Compact storage. When folded, the tables nest together tightly, taking up minimal floor space in your storage cupboard. This frees up your hall for PE, drama, or assemblies.
Customisable
School colours. Choose from a wide variety of laminate top colours and vibrant stool colours to match your school branding or divide the canteen into specific 'house' zones.
The Cobolt Advantage: 15-Year Warranty
We know that school dining furniture is an investment. That's why our mobile folding tables come with a comprehensive 15-year manufacturer's warranty.
We offer free site surveys to help you plan your dining hall capacity and accept School Purchase Orders for instant credit accounts.
Folding Table FAQs
How much space do they save?
A significant amount. When folded, the tables take up a fraction of their open footprint and can be nested together. This allows you to clear a dining hall for other uses in under 15 minutes.
Are they safe for students?
Yes. Safety is the priority. The tables feature an open position safety lock (to prevent accidental folding) and a closed position lock (for safe transport). The folding mechanism is dampened to prevent trapping fingers.
Can I choose different heights?
Yes. We offer:
• 650mm (KS1 / Primary)
• 685mm (KS2 / Primary)
• 735mm (Secondary / Adult)
Choosing the correct height ensures student comfort and posture.
What is the delivery time?
As these units are often built to order with your specific colour choices, lead times are typically 4-6 weeks. We recommend ordering during term time to ensure delivery during the holidays.
Do you offer bulk discounts?
Yes. If you are fitting out a whole dining hall, please contact us. We offer quantity discounts on multi-table orders for schools and colleges.
