The CT2086 is especially effective for smaller tabletops and cozy seating arrangements, ensuring clean lines and unobstructed guest movement. Its smooth leveling system helps maintain consistent height when tables are combined for larger gatherings. For spaces using multiple table shapes, it maintains a uniform look without compromising stability or appearance.

Pro Tip

For maximum stability, ensure your floor surface is clean before placement so the Equalizer feet engage fully when tables are set in position.

Best Uses in Your Layout

Spaces with moderate tabletop sizes (around 28 in).
Hospitality venues with frequent reconfiguration or group seating.

The CT2086 keeps tables steady in busy service environments while giving guests a polished and professional presentation. It’s also lightweight enough for quick repositioning between shifts. Its compact base design supports more efficient traffic flow and provides extra room for chairs or stools without crowding.

Setup & Anchoring Notes

Attach the 13 × 13 inch mounting plate to the 3-inch column using the included tension rod. Then connect the cross base and tighten securely. Once assembled, press each corner of the tabletop to engage the FLAT Equalizer hydraulic system. Review our process page for detailed installation recommendations. Proper setup ensures years of consistent leveling performance and smooth movement when tables are relocated. For maximum precision, we recommend checking that all four Equalizers contact the floor evenly before tightening the top plate hardware.
