CT3012 Auto-Adjust Dining Table Base

The FLAT Tech CT3012 is an Auto-Adjust Dining Table Base designed for restaurants and cafés that want stable tables with a clean, compact footprint. This Auto-Adjust Dining Table Base uses FLAT’s hydraulic stabilization to level itself and keep tabletops steady when the floor is not perfectly flat. With its 22 inch round base, 3 inch column, and cast iron build, it balances durability and refined appearance for dining-height setups.

Why Choose an Auto-Adjust Dining Table Base

Tables with FLAT Tech auto-adjust stay level without shims or manual tweaks. First, the PAD system senses uneven flooring and redistributes pressure to hold the top firm. Next, when you join tables for larger parties, seams meet evenly and resets move faster. Then, the compact footprint preserves clearance and legroom in tight rooms. As a result, guests feel fewer wobbles and staff spend less time troubleshooting.

Tabletop Fit & Mounting Tips

Recommended tabletop size: up to 30 inches round or square
Maximum tabletop weight: approximately 40 pounds
Top plate size: 13 inches × 13 inches
Column diameter: 3 inches

The 22 inch round base provides solid load spread while keeping a small footprint. For custom solid wood tabletops, verify insert placement so the plate lands on structure. If you plan thick butcher-block or very dense species, confirm total mass before install. For related options, compare CT2063 or bar-height CT2016. To step up capacity, see CT2087 or CT3006.

Designed for These Spaces

CT3012 fits dining rooms, cafés, and busy service areas that need quick resets and reliable stability. It performs well with 30 inch tops used alone or pushed together for larger groups. Because the design limits wobble without adding bulk, it suits retrofits and light patio use where floors vary slightly. It also supports frequent layout changes in fast casual concepts. For heavier tops or wider spans, move to a larger spread model.

Installation Overview

First, center the 13 inch plate under the tabletop and mark pilot holes. Next, drill with the correct bit for your material and secure the plate with approved fasteners. Then, attach the column and base, stand the table upright, and press lightly so the feet settle and lock. Finally, slide the table into position and confirm all contact points meet the floor. Recheck fastener torque after the first week of service.

Pro Tip

Use painter’s tape to pre-mark table positions on uneven floors. This helps crews align each Auto-Adjust Dining Table Base for level joins and uniform spacing.

Care Recommendations

Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry the finish to keep texture and sheen. Avoid abrasive or solvent cleaners that can dull coatings. Also inspect mounting screws and the leveling contact points on a set schedule. If movement feels stiff, clear debris around the feet and retest. With routine care, the base stays level and presentable through daily use.
