Pull-out shelf: a versatile work space with a secure hold

While mum is out and about, Andreas and 2-year-old Valentin take care of the laundry. His cuddly toy 'Foxy' likes to lend a hand too. A light touch is all that's needed and the practical pull-out shelf comes out from under the washing machine, creating an additional surface. The locking mechanism engages on both sides and secures the pull-out. Now there's plenty of space for the washing basket and the bedding is ready to hang up in no time at all. What's great is that the pull-out shelves – either the MOVENTO with up to 40 kg or the TANDEM with up to 30 kg – remain stable and in place. To keep his little rascal under control while he's carrying out household chores, dad Andreas plays aeroplane with him and lets Valentin 'fly' in the washing basket. Once the lock-open stop has been released, the pull-out shelf disappears into the cabinet again with just a gentle push.

We all know the feeling. You've left your tax return and all its paperwork to the very last minute. Anja is the same but she has a small yet reliable helper. The personnel specialist places her documents and folders on the pull-out shelf so she can work standing up. Once she's done, she releases the pull-out shelf lock with one hand and with a little push the pull-out shelf disappears into the cabinet, leaving her home office looking tidy again.
