CT2016 Bar-Height Self-Leveling Base

The FLAT Tech CT2016 bar-height self-leveling base is designed for busy hospitality spaces that need steady tops and quick push-together alignment. This bar-height self-leveling base uses FLAT PAD hydraulic technology with a 30 inch by 30 inch footprint to stabilize itself on uneven floors and support round or square tabletops up to 36 inches.

At a Glance

Type: Bar-height self-leveling base. Finish: Textured black. Column: 3 inch round. Footprint: 30 in × 30 in cross style. Technology: FLAT PAD hydraulic. Top size: Up to 36 inches round or square. Best for: Elevated seating in bars, cafés, and restaurants.

Bar-Height Self-Leveling Base: Stability You Can Feel

Because the CT2016 anchors its feet automatically with FLAT PAD hydraulic leveling, tables feel firm and guests experience fewer spills even when floors are not perfectly flat. When you join tables for larger parties, the mechanism helps keep neighboring tops at the same height so edges meet cleanly for a flush surface throughout service.

Top Size and Compatibility

Recommended top sizes: square or round tabletops up to 36 inches
Top materials: solid wood, composite, or stone with proper inserts
Mounting: standard top plate pattern; tabletop screws sold separately

These ranges cover most bar-height two-tops and many compact four-tops. If you plan heavy stone or extra-thick tops, confirm the insert plan and fasteners that match your thickness and span.

Where This Base Shines

Bar rails, high-top sections, and busy standing areas
Older buildings and covered patios with minor floor variation
Concepts that push tables together for larger groups

If your layout mixes table heights, you can pair CT2016 with dining-height options like the CT2007 and use broader footprints such as the CT4206 in wider aisles.

Installation Notes

Assemble the column, top plate, and cross base per spec. Mount the tabletop using approved fasteners and inserts. Place the table on the floor, allow the feet to settle, then slide into position and verify that joined tables meet at an even height.

Pro Tip

Mark standard join points on your floor plan for common party sizes. Pre-marking helps crews align tops faster and keeps heights consistent during turns.

Care and Maintenance
