Cast Iron Dining Base

The Cast Iron Dining Base by FLAT Tech, model CT4205, delivers balanced support for longer rectangular tabletops. This Cast Iron Dining Base uses FLAT PAD hydraulic technology to automatically level on uneven floors, keeping surfaces stable in dining-height layouts. Moreover, its twin-end design allows wider spans without tipping while preserving clean sightlines for guests.

At a Glance

Type: Twin-end dining-height base. Height: 28.35 in. Column: Approx. 2.56 in round. Span: (2) 22.6 in end bases. Plate: 11.4 in × 11.4 in. Material: Cast iron. Finish: Textured black powder coat. Leveling: FLAT PAD hydraulic system. Best for: Tops up to 36 in × 84 in.

Why Cast Iron Dining Base Stand Out

This base blends European style with dependable performance for busy restaurants. Additionally, its cast-iron construction and self-leveling mechanism handle daily use while staying visually refined. As a result, teams spend less time adjusting shims and more time serving guests.

Mounting Guidelines for Tabletops

Align both end bases parallel beneath the tabletop for even support.
Use heavy-duty fasteners matched to your tabletop substrate.
After installation, press gently on each corner so the PAD mechanism levels and locks automatically.

These steps ensure consistent stability during service. In addition, designers should verify underside structure when using large rectangular tops, as described in CT2007 and similar models.

Pro Tip

Mark pilot points on your tabletop before drilling to maintain symmetry between both end bases. Balanced mounting ensures the leveling system functions correctly.

Where to Use This Base

Full-service restaurants and cafés with rectangular dining-height tables.
Spaces combining tables for groups or banquettes.
Installations where uneven flooring requires automatic self-leveling.

Because the CT4205 balances long tabletops without wobble, it suits both classic wood restaurant tabletops and modern composite designs. Also, its black powder-coated finish complements a variety of interior palettes.

Setup Instructions

First, assemble the two end bases and column on a flat surface. Next, attach the top plates using the provided fasteners. Then, mount your tabletop and press on each edge so the PAD hydraulic system engages and locks level.

Reminder

Do not forget to ask us to Pre-drill your Restaurant Tables. You will spend a few hundred dollars with us, or a few thousand dollars for installers to do it during install.
