Canteen Folding Table Hire

Hire from £7.50 per table.

A proper folding table for catering, canteens and events

The Gopak Economy folding table is the canteen table we send out when a client needs a decent surface that can be wiped down, folded flat and loaded back into the van at the end of the night. It is 1830mm long by 685mm wide with a 698mm working height - big enough for six to eight people, small enough to move through a standard doorway.

The top is a hard-wearing Durham Oak laminate with an aluminium edge trim, and the frame is lightweight aluminium with a simple fail-safe folding mechanism. There are no pinch points and the legs fold back under the top so the whole thing sits at about 85mm deep for storage and transport. We list the weight as around 13kg, which is about right for the largest size in the Gopak Economy range.

These are the tables we have supplied into Amazon fulfilment canteens and similar large staff dining setups - set them in rows for a canteen, around the edge of a marquee for buffet service, or along the back of an exhibition stand. They also work well as registration desks, queueing tables or temporary office workstations.

We have been hiring out event furniture from our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham since 1999. We own the stock, maintain it in-house and deliver in our own vehicles, so the tables that arrive are the tables in the photos. Every hire includes £5 million public liability insurance, with risk assessments and method statements emailed to you or your venue before the event.

Common questions

What are the exact dimensions of the canteen folding table?

The Gopak Economy table is 1830mm long, 685mm wide and 698mm high. When folded flat it is about 85mm deep, which makes it easy to stack and transport.

How many people fit at one table?

A 1830mm x 685mm table seats six to eight people comfortably, so it works for a standard canteen bench on either side or chairs along both edges.

Can the tables be used outdoors?

The aluminium frame and laminate top will cope with outdoor use on grass or hard standing, but the laminate is not designed to be left out in the rain. If you are using them outside, make sure they are under cover or bring them in overnight.

Do you supply benches or chairs to go with them?

Yes. We can add matching Gopak economy benches or folding chairs to the same booking, so you get tables and seating from one supplier with one delivery.
