If you source camping furniture for a brand, an IGT table system is one of the most requested formats on the market. IGT stands for Iron Grill Table — a modular table standard built around a fixed unit width so that frames, panels, grills, and burners from different accessories all slot together. For buyers, that interchangeability is the whole point: one platform, dozens of configurations, and a product family that customers keep expanding over time. This guide explains how the IGT table system works, how the units are sized, and why adding one to your range makes commercial sense.
What an IGT Table System Actually Is
An IGT modular table is defined by its “unit” — a standardised opening width that every compatible panel drops into. The frame provides the rails; the panels, grill plates, sinks, and burner cradles are the fillers. Because the unit dimension is consistent, a brand can mix a solid tabletop panel next to a stove cutout next to a storage tray on the same frame. This is what separates a true IGT modular table from an ordinary folding table: it is a platform, not a single fixed product.
The appeal for end users is customisation. They start with a two-unit frame, then add panels and accessories as their kit grows. For your brand, that means repeat purchases and a natural upsell path — the reason the IGT format has become a staple across Japanese and Western outdoor labels alike.
Understanding IGT Unit Sizing
The building block of the whole standard is the igt unit frame. A single “unit” refers to one panel slot; frames are described by how many units they carry — commonly half-unit, 1.5-unit, two-unit, three-unit, and four-unit configurations. A larger frame simply holds more panels side by side, so a four-unit table gives more cooking-plus-prep surface than a two-unit one.
Half and 1.5-unit connectors let buyers bridge frames or extend a table at an angle, which is why odd sizes matter in a catalogue. Our 1.5-Unit IGT Connector is a good example of a piece that exists purely to expand and join systems. When you plan an assortment, offering at least two frame sizes plus a connector covers most end-user setups without overloading your SKU count.
How the Modules Combine
Modules combine along the frame rails. Slide in a flat panel where you want a work surface, drop a grill or burner cradle where you want to cook, and leave a slot open to hang a trash bag or a gear hook. Because every filler shares the same unit footprint, a customer can rearrange the layout in seconds and the pieces stay compatible across seasons and even across brands that follow the standard.
Material choice is where ODM buyers differentiate. A Bamboo IGT Modular Table reads as premium and warm, while an Expandable IGT Modular Table in aluminium leans lightweight and technical. A Wood-Grain IGT Link Frame gives the metal-frame durability with a softer visual finish.

Accessories That Complete the System
Accessories are what turn a frame into an ecosystem — and what keep customers coming back. Common add-ons include solid tabletop panels, wire storage panels, side trays, leg extensions, carry bags, and hanging racks. Storage frames that share the IGT footprint let users bolt shelving onto their cook station; our 2-Unit Storage Frame is designed to sit alongside a table and expand the working area vertically.
When you plan a private-label range, treat accessories as the margin engine. The frame gets the customer in; panels, trays, and bags drive the follow-up orders. A tight accessory line also reduces the pressure to constantly launch new frames — buyers refresh the platform by adding parts, not replacing it.
Why Brands Add an IGT Table System
Beyond the modular table category, an IGT platform strengthens a whole camping line. It anchors the “cook and prep” zone that pairs naturally with your chairs and folding tables — think a Classic Director Chair at a fully configured cook station. It also signals that a brand is serious about the outdoor cooking segment, which buyers and their customers notice.
Onway Sports has manufactured aluminium-alloy folding camping furniture for 30 years, with all twelve production steps — from tube cutting and bending to silk-screen, sewing, and final QC — handled in-house. That vertical control matters for IGT products specifically, because unit tolerances have to be exact for panels to interchange cleanly. Low first-run MOQs and full ODM support mean you can test a modular table with your market before committing to volume. When you are ready to spec frame sizes, materials, and finishes, request a quote and we will scope the program with you.
An IGT table system rewards brands that think in platforms rather than one-off products: a consistent unit standard, a handful of frame sizes, and a growing accessory line that keeps customers engaged for years. Get the unit sizing right and the rest of your camping cook-zone assortment builds around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for IGT table systems?
Onway Sports welcomes low first-run MOQs so you can test a modular table in your market before scaling. Exact quantities depend on frame size, material, and finish, so share your target and we will confirm the run size when we quote.
Can IGT tables be fully private-labelled and customised?
Yes. As an OEM/ODM manufacturer we handle full private-label programs — frame sizing, panel materials such as aluminium or bamboo, finishes, silk-screen branding, and packaging. All twelve production steps are done in-house, which keeps unit tolerances tight enough for panels to interchange reliably.
Are the units compatible with standard IGT accessories?
Our frames are built around the standard IGT unit width, so compatible panels, grills, and accessories that follow the format slot in. If you have specific accessory dimensions you need to match, send them over and we will confirm fit before production.
What materials are available for IGT frames and panels?
Frames are aluminium-alloy for a strong, lightweight structure. Panels are offered in aluminium, wood-grain, and bamboo finishes so you can position the same platform as technical or premium. We can advise on the best combination for your target price point.
