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

The Vauth-Sagel ESSENTIO® VS SUB® Rack is a compact, full-extension under-bench pull-out storage system designed for residential joinery applications. Constructed with two fixed shelves made from ultra-thin 70mm high formed sheet steel, the rack features powder-coated monochrome surfaces and integrated non-slip matting.  

Manufactured in Germany, the unit is available in White and Lava Grey finishes. It fits narrow base cabinet widths of 150mm, 200mm, and 300mm, requiring a minimum internal cabinet height of 515mm and a minimum depth of 465mm.  

The system provides targeted storage within narrow spaces; slimmer width models (150mm and 200mm) accommodate items such as spice containers and oil bottles, while the 300mm model provides capacity for pots, pans, and crockery.

Key Features
  • Full-Extension Mechanism: Delivers complete pull-out extension for direct visual access and reachability.  
  • Space Optimisation: Enables practical storage utilisation within narrow cabinet widths down to 150mm.  
  • ESSENTIO® Shelf Construction: Ultra-thin 70mm side profiles maximise internal shelf area, with integrated non-slip mats securing stored items.
  • Integrated Damping: Soft-closing and self-closing runners include a built-in damping mechanism for quiet, controlled closing.  
  • Post-Installation Adjustment: Features 3D front adjustment capabilities for alignment of cabinet fronts after mounting.  
  • Retrofit Friendly: Can be installed into existing base cabinetry without requiring benchtop removal.
