ESSENTIO® VS SUB® Larder Under Bench Pull Out by Vauth-Sagel
Description

The Vauth-Sagel ESSENTIO® VS SUB® Larder is a full-extension, under-bench pull-out storage system engineered for residential cabinet installations. Manufactured in Germany, the unit features ultra-thin 70mm high formed sheet steel baskets with a uniform powder-coated finish and integrated non-slip matting, delivering a clean, linear aesthetic.

Designed for base cabinets, the unhanded system allows dual-sided visibility and access to stored goods. It is supplied in White and Lava Grey finishes to fit cabinet widths of 300mm and 400mm. The system requires an installation height of 660mm and a minimum internal cabinet depth of 500mm.

The VS SUB® Larder shares its basket geometry and modular accessories—including roll holders, hook panels, storage boxes, and dividers—with the full-height VS TAL® Larder series, enabling unified internal cabinetry design across base and tall units. Together, they form the foundation for a well-thought-out, clearly arranged kitchen and utility room.

Key Features
  • Dual-Sided Access: Full-extension pull-out mechanism provides complete visibility and direct access to contents from both sides.
  • ESSENTIO® Basket Design: Constructed with ultra-thin 70mm sheet steel side profiles and integrated non-slip matting for optimal internal volume and stability.
  • Integrated Damping: Soft-closing and self-closing runners feature built-in damping for smooth, quiet operation.
  • Modular Compatibility: Baskets and accessories inter-change directly with the full-height VS TAL® Larder system.
  • Easy Assembly & Adjustment: Features the EasyFit tool-free frame mounting system onto runners, alongside 3D front adjustment capabilities after installation.
