Product Description
The FLAT Auto-Adjust SX26 EP is an aluminium dining table base designed for hospitality environments where practicality and space management matter. The flip-top mechanism allows table tops to fold upright so bases can be nested and stored efficiently — useful in venues that reconfigure their floor layout regularly or need to clear space outside of service.
The SX26 incorporates FLAT's PAD system — a patented hydraulic self-levelling mechanism built into the base. When a table is placed on an uneven or undulating surface, the PAD adjusts automatically without any manual intervention. This is particularly relevant for outdoor terraces, older buildings with worn or uneven floors, or anywhere that conventional fixed-leg bases tend to rock. The stabilisation also resets whenever the table is repositioned, which helps keep tables aligned when multiple tops are pushed together for larger covers.
The EP (Extra Protection) coating makes the SX26 a considered choice for outdoor use and coastal settings where standard aluminium bases may be more susceptible to corrosion over time. The aluminium construction keeps the base reasonably lightweight, which supports easier handling during daily layout changes.
- Flip-top mechanism for efficient stacking and storage between services
- Automatic hydraulic levelling on uneven or outdoor surfaces
- EP coating providing additional corrosion resistance for outdoor use
- Re-stabilises on relocation, supporting flexible layout arrangements
The SX26 is a practical choice for casual dining venues, outdoor terraces, bistros, and managed hospitality spaces where tables are moved frequently and floor conditions vary. If you are fitting out a larger venue with more demanding throughput requirements or need bases suited to heavier commercial table tops, it is worth discussing your specific table top dimensions and usage before ordering.
If you would like to talk through whether the SX26 is the right fit for your space, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The EP coating is specifically intended to improve resistance to outdoor conditions and coastal environments where standard aluminium may degrade more quickly. For permanent outdoor use, it is worth considering the specific exposure your site experiences — sheltered terraces will fare better than fully exposed seafront positions — and the team can advise on whether this base is appropriate for your setting.
- The PAD system uses an internal hydraulic actuator that self-adjusts when weight is applied to the table top, compensating for surface irregularities without any manual intervention from staff. The levelling resets each time the table is moved, which is particularly useful in venues that regularly rearrange their floor layout.
- The SX26 top plate is sized to support table tops up to 800mm in diameter or square equivalent. If you are planning to use larger table tops or particularly heavy surfaces such as solid stone or thick hardwood, it is advisable to confirm compatibility before ordering to ensure the base is adequate for the load and overhang involved.
