Bolt Down Base
The Bolt Down Base offers rock-solid stability for commercial tables that must stay fixed. This model anchors directly to the floor and performs well in busy restaurants, pubs, or bar-height areas. Its welded steel frame and compact plate design provide dependable strength. Because it mounts flush, it also keeps the space open and easy to clean beneath each top.
What It Is
The JIP3-7RDTP12SQBH model is a bar-height version within JI Bases’ bolt-down family. It stands 40.5 inches tall and uses a welded steel column joined to a 7.5-inch round cover plate. A 3-inch column connects to a 12 × 12 inch top plate. The base and column are welded as one piece for durability. Its black textured powder-coat finish matches most commercial interiors and hides everyday scuffs. Because it mounts directly into the floor, there is no movement or rocking during service. You’ll find similar engineering consistency in other fixed bases such as the BD2802A, which demonstrates the same commercial-level stability for dining-height layouts.

Overall height 40.5″. Base cover 7.5″. Column 3″ diameter. Top plate 12″ square. Welded steel. Black textured finish. Weight 12 lbs.
Size & Compatibility
The manufacturer recommends one base for tabletops up to 36 × 42 inches. For longer tops, plan one additional base per 42 inches of added length. This approach prevents excess torque on floor bolts when guests lean or push against the table edge. Designers often match this bar-height version with shorter bases like CT3014 or CT3018 to keep consistent form across mixed-height layouts. In larger communal settings, some operators use CT2020 for expansive configurations. Each pairing maintains balanced design while providing appropriate load distribution across multiple tops.
Use Cases
This base is ideal for bar-height tables, high-top counters, and standing zones. It locks firmly to the floor, preventing wobble and movement. That fixed connection ensures safety in areas where guests lean, gather, or rest drinks. The flush floor mount also makes cleanup simple and sanitary. Use it in bars, restaurants, or cafés needing durable, immovable seating points. To guide top selection and layout design, review the restaurant table tops buyer’s guide. It outlines compatible materials, edge profiles, and finishes for the most stable match between top and base.
Design Insight
Bolt-down bases create structure in open-plan layouts. Their clean footprint defines zones while maintaining a seamless, anchored appearance.
Installation and Setup Tips
Check the floor type before installation. Concrete gives the best anchor strength, while wood subfloors require extra blocking beneath. Use high-quality anchor bolts that match your surface. Mark all hole positions before drilling to keep alignment precise. Once mounted, ensure each base is level and secure. When installing multiple bases under one tabletop, space them evenly for balance. Inspect anchor tightness periodically, especially after the first weeks of service, to confirm long-term stability.
Installation 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.

Care and Maintenance
Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners that may dull the finish. Wipe around the base cover frequently to prevent buildup. For best results, inspect bolt anchors monthly and tighten if needed. Maintain the black textured coating with periodic touch-ups to keep the appearance uniform.

Featured Answer
Where should I use a Bolt Down Base?
Use a Bolt Down Base in areas where tables must remain fixed, such as bar seating, shared counters, and standing zones. It keeps the table steady even with heavy use or floor vibration.
Options and Variants
This bar-height model shares its structure with the dining-height version JIP3-7RDTP12SQDN. Both provide matching aesthetics and dimensions for unified design across seating zones. For floating or wall-mounted alternatives, see the JICAT-15.5×21.5SM Cantilever Base, which removes floor plates entirely. Operators managing larger tops often add multiple bolt-down units under one surface, spaced at consistent intervals. This modular setup allows easy scaling and ensures strength across wide communal tables.
