ESSENTIO® VS TAL® Larder by Vauth-Sagel
Description

The Vauth-Sagel VS TAL® Larder is a full-extension, pull-out tall pantry storage unit designed for residential cabinet installations. Part of the ESSENTIO® range style, the system is characterised by ultra-slim formed sheet steel baskets with 70mm side heights, featuring a uniform powder-coated finish and integrated non-slip matting for a clean, modern aesthetic.

Manufactured in Germany, the TAL® Larder system is available in White and Lava Grey finishes. It fits standard cabinet widths of 300mm and 400mm, with frame height options covering installation heights between 1700–1950mm and 1900–2140mm. Each unit comes equipped with six individually height-adjustable baskets.

The system utilises non-electric Power Assisted Movement (PAM) for smooth extension, with an optional dual-direction electrical push-to-open attachment available (VS309 Push to Open Power Move).

It shares basket designs and accessories—such as roll holders, hook panels, storage boxes, and separators—with the under-bench VS SUB® Larder series. Together, they form the foundation for a well-thought-out, clearly arranged kitchen and utility room.

Key Features

  • Adjustability: Features 3D front adjustment capabilities after installation, functional clips for basket height adjustment, and synchronised upper and lower end stops.

  • Optional Automation: Compatible with the VS309 electrical Push to Open Power Move attachment for touch-activated operation.
