Product Overview: 16-Seater Primary Mobile Dining System

Streamline high-volume lunch services with our most efficient dining solution yet. This 16-person rectangular unit provides an organised, fixed-seating environment that eliminates the safety risks of loose chairs while allowing for rapid hall reconfiguration in primary school settings.

The Cobolt Advantage

  • Ultimate Capacity Efficiency: By accommodating sixteen students on a single mobile frame, this table dramatically reduces the number of individual units required to fill a hall. This speeds up setup times and minimises the total storage footprint required for your catering furniture.
  • Precision Transit Engineering: Even at a length of 3.28 metres, the table nests into a slim, single vertical position. It is meticulously designed to glide through standard 1980mm high doorways, ensuring effortless movement between multi-use halls and storage rooms.
  • Pupil-Safe Infrastructure: The 18mm high-density MDF core is bonded with moisture-resistant laminate and finished with high-impact edging. This provides a non-porous, durable surface that withstands the high-traffic demands and frequent spills of Key Stage 1 and 2 dining.

Organisation & Sustainability

  • Bespoke Colour Zoning: Customise your canteen with 14 tabletop finishes and 11 vibrant stool colours. This allows for clear "house group" identification or the creation of a lively, engaging atmosphere that encourages social dining.
  • High-Speed Sanitisation: The integrated stool design removes "clutter zones" on the floor. Janitorial staff can sanitise the table and clean the floor space beneath it significantly faster than with traditional tables and loose chairs.
  • Eco-Conscious Circularity: In line with modern green procurement goals, this unit is 100% recyclable. The steel, timber, and high-impact plastic components can be ethically deconstructed and repurposed at the end of their service life.

The Cobolt Standard

  • Free Mainland UK Delivery: Every purchase includes our premier Gold Delivery Service and Free Mainland UK Delivery. We ensure your high-capacity units arrive in showroom condition, ready for immediate deployment.
  • 50 Years of Mastery: We leverage half a century of commercial B2B expertise to engineer furniture that genuinely survives the intense, multi-user reality of the British education sector.
  • Industry-Leading 16-Year Warranty: Reflecting the superior quality of our British-welded steel frames, we offer a 16-year guarantee on all structural welds and the folding mechanism.

Ideal Environments for the 16-Stool Rectangular Dining Hub

This unit is the definitive choice for Large Primary School Halls and High-Enrollment Academies that need to process hundreds of pupils within short lunch windows. Its linear format is perfect for creating long, organised rows, making it equally vital for Breakfast Clubs and Community Hall hire.

Key Features

  • 16 Integrated Plastic Stools — High-density seating that eliminates the safety hazards, noise, and floor-scuffing associated with loose chairs.
  • 650mm Primary Height — Ergonomically scaled specifically for children aged 5-11 years to ensure correct and safe dining posture.
  • 3280mm Linear Footprint — Maximises seating density per square metre, allowing schools to feed more pupils in a smaller area.
  • Heavy-Duty Locking Castors — Non-marking wheels that glide across school floors and lock firmly to prevent drifting during use.
  • Standard Doorway Clearance — Folds into a single vertical position that passes through 1980mm high doors for effortless logistics.
  • Water-Resistant MDF Core — A substantial 18mm high-density core designed for frequent sanitisation and heavy liquid exposure.
  • FIRA Certified — Independently tested to the highest British standards for structural stability, weight-bearing, and safety.
  • Safe Cleaning Lock — Features an intermediate lock that allows staff to partially fold the table for easy access to central hinges during cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can one person safely fold and move a table this large?

A: Yes. Despite its 3.28-metre length, the counter-balanced folding mechanism is designed for single-person operation. Once nested, the table glides smoothly on heavy-duty castors, making it easy to wheel into storage.

2. Will this table fit through standard internal school doors?

A: Yes. When folded, the unit is engineered to fit through a standard height doorway (1980mm), allowing for effortless transport between different halls and storage areas.

3. Why should we choose the 16-stool version?

A: The 16-stool model is our most efficient option. It allows you to feed the maximum number of pupils with the minimum number of tables, reducing the time your staff spend setting up and clearing the hall.

4. Is the 650mm height suitable for primary school children?

A: Absolutely. The 650mm height is perfectly calibrated for children aged 5-11 (KS1 & KS2), providing the correct ergonomic alignment for safe and comfortable dining.

5. How do we ensure the table doesn't fold while pupils are eating?

A: The unit features a mechanical Open-Position Safety Lock. Once deployed for dining, this lock prevents the table from moving back into the storage position until manually released by a staff member.

6. Are the surfaces resistant to heavy daily cleaning?

A: Yes. The high-pressure laminate top and plastic stools are non-porous and wipe-clean. The Intermediate Cleaning Lock also allows staff to partially fold the table to reach central areas safely.

7. Can we choose different stool colours for a single table?

A: Yes. With 11 stool colours available, you can mix and match to perfectly match your school's house groups or to create a vibrant, multi-coloured canteen aesthetic.

8. What is covered by the 16-year warranty?

A: The 16-year commercial warranty specifically covers the structural integrity of all steel welds and the entire internal folding and locking mechanism—the most critical moving parts of the system.

Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can one person safely fold and move a table this large?

A: Yes. Despite its 3.28-metre length, the counter-balanced folding mechanism is designed for single-person operation. Once nested, the table glides smoothly on heavy-duty castors, making it easy to wheel into storage.

2. Will this table fit through standard internal school doors?

A: Yes. When folded, the unit is engineered to fit through a standard height doorway (1980mm), allowing for effortless transport between different halls and storage areas.

3. Why should we choose the 16-stool version?

A: The 16-stool model is our most efficient option. It allows you to feed the maximum number of pupils with the minimum number of tables, reducing the time your staff spend setting up and clearing the hall.

4. Is the 650mm height suitable for primary school children?

A: Absolutely. The 650mm height is perfectly calibrated for children aged 5-11 (KS1 & KS2), providing the correct ergonomic alignment for safe and comfortable dining.

5. How do we ensure the table doesn't fold while pupils are eating?

A: The unit features a mechanical Open-Position Safety Lock. Once deployed for dining, this lock prevents the table from moving back into the storage position until manually released by a staff member.

6. Are the surfaces resistant to heavy daily cleaning?

A: Yes. The high-pressure laminate top and plastic stools are non-porous and wipe-clean. The Intermediate Cleaning Lock also allows staff to partially fold the table to reach central areas safely.

7. Can we choose different stool colours for a single table?

A: Yes. With 11 stool colours available, you can mix and match to perfectly match your school's house groups or to create a vibrant, multi-coloured canteen aesthetic.

8. What is covered by the 16-year warranty?

A: The 16-year commercial warranty specifically covers the structural integrity of all steel welds and the entire internal folding and locking mechanism—the most critical moving parts of the system.
