CT2082 Narrow Counter-Height Base

The FLAT Tech CT2082 is a Narrow Counter-Height Base designed for compact rectangular tops where balance and legroom matter. This Narrow Counter-Height Base uses FLAT PAD self-leveling with Equalizers to settle on imperfect floors, so tables feel steady during service. Because the footprint is 22 inches by 30 inches, it suits smaller rectangles without crowding aisles. Moreover, the textured cast iron finish handles daily traffic while pairing cleanly with solid wood tabletops.

At a Glance

Type: Counter-height rectangular cross base. Footprint: 22 in × 30 in. Height: 34.75 in. Column: 3 in round. Plate: 13 in × 13 in. Finish: Textured black cast iron. Leveling: FLAT PAD + Equalizers. Best for: Tops up to 28 in × 36 in.

Why Choose a Narrow Counter-Height Base

This model balances a smaller stance with reliable stability for busy counters and window seats. As staff move tables, the hydraulic mechanism re-levels quickly, so resets are simple. In addition, Equalizers help adjoining tops meet at the same height for clean seams. Consequently, guests notice fewer wobbles and servers move faster through turns.

Tabletop Fit & Mounting Tips

Stay within about 28 inches by 36 inches to preserve leveling performance and tip resistance.
Use the 13 inch by 13 inch plate as the pilot pattern and match screws to your substrate.
Center the mounting zone over structure on solid wood tops to spread load evenly.
After mounting, press each edge so the feet settle on the true floor plane.

These steps protect fasteners and keep the table steady as it moves across tile, concrete, or wood. Additionally, verify weight if you plan unusually dense hardwoods or thick build-ups. If your layout uses heavier tops, consider stepping up to a wider base like CT2070 or matching height alternatives such as CT2088.

Pro Tip

Drill pilot holes to full fastener depth and use a clutch setting. Tight, consistent torque improves hold in hardwoods and keeps seams flush when tables are pushed together.

Designed for These Spaces

Counter-height dining lanes where aisle clearance is tight.
Window counters and café perimeters with smaller rectangular tops.
Reconfigurable layouts that join tables during peak periods.
Renovations in older buildings where floors vary slightly between sections.

Because the stance is narrow, guests gain knee and foot room without losing balance. Also, the clean black finish pairs well with mixed-plank, butcher block, and classic tabletops.

Installation Overview

First, assemble the column, plate, and base on a flat surface and confirm square alignment. Next, mount the plate to the underside of the top using fasteners matched to your substrate. Then, place the table upright and press gently at each edge so all feet engage. Finally, slide into position and verify that adjoining tops meet evenly before opening.

Reminder

Don’t forget to ask for your Restaurant Tables to be Pre-drilled. You’ll spend a few hundred dollars for us to do it, or spend a few thousand dollars for your installer to do it during install.

Care Recommendations

Wipe the finish with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap, then dry. Avoid harsh solvents that dull the surface or attack protective layers. Inspect fasteners after the first week, then quarterly as layouts change. Replace Equalizers when glide wear appears so leveling response stays smooth.

Did You Know?

Self-leveling feet reduce shims and coasters, which speeds resets and keeps adjoining tabletops at the same height for seamless group seating.

Why Use FLAT Tech Bases

FLAT Tech’s hydraulic system helps each foot meet the floor so tables feel firm even on uneven surfaces. The Equalizers are quick to engage and easy to replace, which keeps bases in service longer. Additionally, the consistent height makes push-together layouts cleaner and faster. As a result, staff spend less time fixing wobble and more time serving guests.
