The HLT-01 table runners are packaged with great care to ensure that they are optimally protected during transport. The sturdy cardboard box provides a reliable layer of protection to ensure that the table runners arrive at their destination undamaged. Despite the avoidance of unnecessary packaging waste, the use of plastic film could be seen as critical for some consumers. The product packaging contains a table skid HLT-01 in the size 80 × 72 cm.

As part of our practical test, we tested the HLT-01 table runner in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. The product impresses with its outstanding properties in terms of assembly, load-bearing capacity and design. Quick and easy assembly is facilitated by the pre-drilled holes, which makes aligning and attaching the runners an effortless process. However, it should be noted that the screws are not included in the scope of delivery . These must be purchased depending on the thickness of the table top . The table runners also impress with their exceptional stability and a load capacity of up to 400 kg. They are manufactured from a single piece of steel, which guarantees outstanding quality and durability. The powder coating in various colours not only contributes to the modern industrial design, but also provides reliable corrosion protection and makes the weld seams almost invisible. The table runners are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and can be easily combined with table tops or benches made of different materials. With nine different sizes and four different colours (black, anthracite, white, raw steel), individual requirements can be optimally met, ensuring a wide range of possible applications.
