The FLAT Auto-Adjust KX30 is a cast iron dining table base built around FLAT's PAD (Patented Actuator Device) — a self-stabilising hydraulic mechanism integrated into the base that automatically levels the table on uneven or undulating floor surfaces. The design follows a modern X-base profile and is intended as a straightforward replacement for existing table bases, fitting standard commercial table tops.

In busy front-of-house environments, wobbling tables are a persistent nuisance — both for guests and for staff who end up responding to complaints mid-service. The KX30 addresses this at the base level rather than relying on staff to wedge or shim tables manually. The self-levelling mechanism engages automatically when the base is placed or repositioned, which is particularly practical in older buildings, marquees, outdoor terraces, or any venue where floors are not perfectly flat. The cast iron construction gives the base the weight and stability needed to support active dining use without shifting.

Key operational characteristics worth noting:

Self-stabilising hydraulic system eliminates the need for manual shimming
Activates automatically when the base is moved or repositioned
Allows multiple bases to be aligned consistently across a dining floor
Compatible with table tops up to 1050mm in diameter or width
Cast iron build provides solid, low-movement stability during service

Installation is straightforward — the base accepts a standard top plate connection and does not require tools or specialist fitting beyond attaching the table top. It is worth confirming your existing table tops are compatible with the top plate size before ordering. At 12kg, the base has a reasonable weight for front-of-house handling, though staff should be aware of this when repositioning tables regularly in a fast-turnaround setting.

The KX30 is well suited to restaurants, cafés, bistros, and event venues where uneven flooring is a known issue and manual levelling is not a practical solution during service. It is equally useful where tables are frequently reconfigured, as the auto-levelling removes a step from the reset process. For venues with very high table turnover or requiring heavier-duty commercial specifications, it is worth exploring whether an alternative base weight or fixing arrangement would better suit the operation.

If you are unsure whether this base will work with your existing table tops or floor conditions, our team are happy to talk through the specifics before you commit to an order.

Frequently asked questions

Will this base work with the table tops we already have?

The KX30 is designed as a retrofit base and will suit most standard commercial table tops up to 1050mm across. It is worth confirming your existing top plate fixing method matches before ordering — if you can share the top plate dimensions or fixing type, we can advise on compatibility.

How does the self-levelling mechanism actually work in practice?

The PAD system is a hydraulic actuator built into the base foot. When the base is placed or moved, the mechanism automatically adjusts to compensate for floor irregularities, distributing the load evenly across the contact points. There is no manual adjustment required — it engages passively each time the table is set down.

Is this base suitable for outdoor or semi-outdoor use?

The KX30 is particularly well suited to settings with irregular surfaces such as outdoor terraces, cobbled areas, or marquee flooring, where the auto-levelling function is most valuable. Cast iron is durable in these environments, though as with any cast iron product, prolonged exposure to moisture without maintenance can lead to surface rust over time — so some consideration of protection or periodic upkeep is advisable for permanent outdoor use.
