Qanto Corner Unit with Plastic Shelf

The Qanto is a vertical lift system designed specifically for corner kitchen cabinets. Rather than leaving that awkward corner space difficult to reach or poorly organised, this mechanism brings stored items up to worktop height at the touch of a button.

Where It Fits

This unit works in corner base cabinets where you need maximum storage but want easy access. It's particularly well-suited to contemporary kitchens where clean lines and hidden storage are priorities. The 580mm square footprint fits standard corner cabinet configurations.

How It Works

The system operates as a motorised lift platform with two storage levels. Press the control and the entire storage assembly rises smoothly, bringing both the upper shelf (10kg capacity) and lower level (15kg capacity) within easy reach. Integrated LED lighting illuminates the contents as they rise.

Why It Matters

Corner cabinets typically become black holes where items get pushed to the back and forgotten. With the Qanto, everything stored becomes immediately visible and accessible without bending, reaching, or emptying half the cabinet to find what you need. This is particularly valuable if you have mobility considerations or simply want your kitchen to work more efficiently.

Design Consideration

The system requires 696mm of clear height above the cabinet to operate, which means it won't work under every worktop configuration. Your worktop also needs to be at least 650mm deep. The grey plastic shelving has a functional rather than premium appearance, so consider whether this fits with your kitchen's material palette.

Build Quality

This is a Blum-engineered mechanism, which means robust construction and smooth operation. The system arrives fully assembled and is GS certified for safety. The motor and lift mechanism are designed for regular daily use, though the 25kg total weight limit means you'll need to be mindful of what you store.

Options

This version comes with plastic shelving in dark grey. The Qanto system is also available with different shelf materials and finishes, including aluminium frames and various colour options.

Closing Guidance

If your corner cabinet currently frustrates you and you have the required clearance height, the Qanto solves a real problem. Consider what you'd actually store here and whether the weight limits and plastic shelving suit your needs.
