CT2017 Bar-Height Self-Leveling Base

The FLAT Tech CT2017 is a bar-height self-leveling base designed for elevated seating in busy hospitality spaces. This bar-height leveling base uses FLAT PAD hydraulic technology with a compact 22 inch by 22 inch cross footprint to stabilize itself on uneven floors and keep adjoining tables aligned at the same height for larger parties.

At a Glance

Type: Bar-height self-leveling table base. Finish: Textured black. Column: 3 inch round. Footprint: 22 in × 22 in cross style. Technology: FLAT PAD hydraulic. Recommended top size: Up to 24 inches square or 26 inches round. Best for: Bars, cafés, and high-top sections.

Bar-Height Leveling Base: Stability You Can Feel

Because the CT2017 automatically adjusts at each foot, tables feel firm even on floors with minor variation. When you push tables together, the leveling system helps neighboring tops meet at a consistent height for a clean, flush surface. This keeps spills down and service smooth during busy shifts.

Top Size and Compatibility

Recommended top sizes: up to 24 inch square or 26 inch round (confirm by material and expected load)
Top materials: solid wood, composite, or stone with proper inserts
Mounting: standard plate pattern; tabletop screws sold separately

These ranges cover most bar-height two-tops and tight layouts. For larger or heavier tops, step up to a broader stance or different model based on section needs.

Where This Base Shines

High-top rails and bar sections that need steady, compact footprints
Older buildings or covered patios with slightly uneven flooring
Operations that join tables for groups and want clean, flush alignments

If your plan mixes table heights, pair this model with dining-height options like the CT2007 and the CT2006. For bigger tops and wider aisles, consider the CT4205 or alternate styles like the CT2086 or the CT2016.

Installation Notes

Assemble the column, top plate, and cross base per spec. Mount the tabletop using the approved fastener pattern and inserts for your material. Place the table on the floor, allow the feet to settle, then slide into position and confirm that joined tables meet at an even height.

Pro Tip

Mark common join points on your floor plan for four- and six-top configurations. Pre-marking speeds resets and helps crews maintain consistent heights across sections.

Self-leveling feet reduce shim use and coaster clutter. Fewer adjustments save time during turns and keep guest experiences consistent across bar-height sections.
