The FLAT Auto Adjust ST22 EP is an aluminium dining table base designed for rectangular table tops, incorporating a flip-top mechanism that allows the table to be folded flat for compact storage or stacked efficiently with other bases when not in use. It is a practical choice for operators who need flexible dining layouts or who regularly reconfigure their floor plan.The ST22 uses FLAT's PAD system — a patented hydraulic self-stabilising mechanism built into the base. When the table is placed or moved, the base adjusts automatically to compensate for uneven or undulating floor surfaces without any manual intervention. This is a useful feature in older venues, outdoor terraces, or any setting where perfectly level floors cannot be guaranteed. It removes the need for staff to fuss with levelling feet and reduces the likelihood of customer complaints about wobbly tables during service.The EP (Extra Protection) coating gives this base good resistance to moisture and environmental exposure, making it suitable for covered outdoor areas, seafront venues, beer gardens, and similar settings where standard bases might corrode or degrade more quickly. Lightweight aluminium construction keeps handling straightforward when reconfiguring layouts Flip-top mechanism enables quick, compact storage between uses Automatic stabilisation works whenever the table is repositioned — no manual adjustment needed EP coating provides reliable protection in damp or coastal environments Compatible with rectangular tops up to 800 x 1200mm This base is well suited to café bars, casual dining restaurants, event venues, and outdoor hospitality operators. It is a mid-range solution designed to balance practicality with durability. For heavier-use or larger fixed dining configurations, alternative bases with greater load capacity or a fixed-top design may be worth considering.If you are unsure whether the ST22 suits your floor surface, environment, or table top size, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
