Flat Tech Table Bases - How do they work?

Flat Tech Table Base Self Leveling

Flat Tech table bases are a step above the rest.Self Leveling Table Base  They have solved the age old problem of how to keep a table base from wobbling in your restaurant. I am sure you have been to many restaurants that have sugar packets strategically placed under the table base to try and make it level.  That isn't the best way.  There is a solution that no only allows your tables to stop wobbling, it also allows you to line up multiple table so that the edges line up perfectly.  If you want to put multiple table together and use a large table cloth, it will seem like one giant long seamless table.  The way the Flat Tech base works in pretty cool.  Each FLAT table base comes with hydraulic technology known as the PAD or Patented Actuator Device.  Each point of contact with the ground has its own hydraulic cylinder fitted within the leg and all the cylinders are interconnected via fluid hoses. When one leg makes contact with the ground, the fluid in that cylinder is forced out through the hoses and into the other legs. This causes the other legs to extend outward towards the ground. Once the final leg makes contact, the weight of the table is transferred through the fluid; triggering the locking mechanisms in the cylinders/feet. 

 

Flat Tech table bases have innovated and solved an age old problem with restaurants.  Wobbly and misaligned tables have plagued the hospitality industry for years.
