CT2022 Self-Leveling Cross Base

The FLAT Tech CT2022 is a Self-Leveling Cross Base built for bar-height tables in restaurants, bars, and cafés. With its 22 inch by 30 inch footprint and FLAT PAD hydraulic technology, this base keeps your tabletops stable and even on floors that are not perfectly flat. The durable cast iron frame and textured finish give it strength for daily service in high-traffic spaces.

At a Glance

Type: Bar-height Self-leveling Cross Base. Finish: Textured black. Column: 3 inch round. Footprint: 22 in × 30 in cross style. Construction: Cast iron. Technology: FLAT PAD hydraulic system. Recommended top: 24 in × 36 in rectangular or 24 in round. Best for: Bar-height tables in restaurants, cafés, and social areas.

Self-Leveling Cross Base Stability

The Self-Leveling Cross Base adjusts instantly as it touches the floor. The FLAT PAD system redistributes pressure so each foot stays grounded, removing wobble before guests notice. When tables are pushed together, the tops stay flush and even, creating clean lines for larger parties and polished service.

Top Size and Compatibility

Recommended tabletop size: up to 24″ × 36″ rectangular or 24″ round
Top materials: solid wood, composite, or stone with proper inserts
Mounting: standard 13″ × 13″ top plate; tabletop screws sold separately

This base pairs best with smaller bar-height tables or grouped two-tops. For heavier or longer tops, verify insert placement and fasteners that suit your tabletop’s thickness and span.

Where This Base Shines

Bar seating areas that need smooth table joins
Hospitality settings with slightly uneven flooring
Compact layouts where stability and clearance matter

Use CT2006 or CT2007 for dining-height installations. For larger rectangular tops, explore CT2031. If you need more height, see the CT2016. For heavy-duty use in extended spans, consider CT4206.

Installation Notes

First, assemble the column, plate, and base on a clean floor. Then attach the tabletop using approved screws and inserts. Finally, place it upright and allow the hydraulic feet to self-adjust. Within seconds, the table will sit firmly and evenly.

Pro Tip

Mark base positions before installation to keep aisles clear. This ensures the Self-Leveling Cross Base stays aligned in service layouts and prevents crowding at high-traffic zones.
