CT2085 Counter-Height Dual Base

The FLAT Tech CT2085 is a Counter-Height Dual Base designed for long rectangular or oval tabletops that need stable support in high-traffic spaces. This Counter-Height Dual Base uses FLAT PAD hydraulic self-leveling to settle quickly on uneven floors and help joins meet cleanly when tables are pushed together. The set includes two 22 inch end bases with a 3 inch column and a 13 inch by 13 inch mounting plate for secure attachment. Because the textured cast iron finish handles daily use well, the base maintains a clean look across shifts. As a result, crews spend less time fixing wobble and more time serving guests.

At a Glance

Type: Counter-height dual end-base set. Height: 34.75 inches. End footprints: 22 inch ends (T-style). Column: 3 inch round. Mounting plate: 13 inch × 13 inch. Finish: Textured black cast iron. Technology: FLAT PAD hydraulic self-leveling.

Why Choose a Counter-Height Dual Base

This configuration spreads support to both ends of a long tabletop, which improves comfort and keeps aisles clear. The FLAT PAD system levels on contact, then re-levels when the table moves to a new position. Staff can press lightly on the top to let the mechanism settle, so wobble complaints drop during peak hours. In addition, stable seams make it easier to combine stations for large parties and events.

Tabletop Fit & Mounting Tips

Plan within the published range for rectangular tops, and confirm total weight if you use dense hardwoods. Many listings show up to 33 inches by 77 inches, while conservative brochures note about 30 inches by 70 inches and about 66 pounds. For best results, match the 13 inch by 13 inch plate to reinforced structure under the top. Finally, use fasteners suited to your substrate and verify pilot sizes before installation.

Pro Tip

Mark end-base spacing with painter’s tape before drilling. Small shifts inboard or outboard improve knee clearance and keep chairs from bumping the base.

Designed for These Spaces

Use CT2085 in counter-height lanes, lounge rails, and high-top sections where steady surfaces matter. It pairs well with long two-top runs that combine for larger groups. Because each end base adapts to small floor changes, layouts in older buildings perform better. You also get a compact stance that preserves walking paths without using extra floor space.

Installation Overview

First, mark centerlines and end-base spacing under the tabletop. Next, attach the 13 inch by 13 inch plates with approved inserts and screws. Then, stand the table and press the corners so the hydraulic leveling settles on the real floor plane. Finally, slide into position, check clearances, and confirm that joined seams meet cleanly across the surface.

Care Recommendations

Wipe surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth and mild detergent, then dry to preserve the texture. Avoid harsh solvents that can dull the finish over time. Check fasteners one week after install and on a quarterly schedule. If you move tables during service, give the base a moment to settle and recheck seams for flush alignment.

Featured Answer

Why pick a Counter-Height Dual Base for long tables?

A Counter-Height Dual Base spreads support to both ends, helps the top sit level on real floors, and keeps seams flush when you join tables for larger groups.

Why TimeWorn Wood Is The Authority

We build solid wood restaurant tabletops that match commercial demands in weight, span, and daily use. Our team pre-drills mounting zones to your base pattern for a faster install. Because we finish every piece by hand, the final surface looks consistent under service lighting. We also package for long travel so projects arrive ready for install across the country.

Did You Know?

Self-leveling systems reduce shim use during resets, which speeds table turns and keeps guest experiences more consistent through every shift.

Why Use FLAT Tech Bases

FLAT Tech bases combine proven cast iron structure with field-tested stabilization. The PAD system levels on contact and repeats that behavior as tables move. Because the mechanism is sealed and reinforced, it resists common debris found in dining rooms. Replacement parts are available, which helps keep bases in service longer and controls total cost of ownership.
