FLAT is a levelling and stabilizing technology developed by an Australian company. It uses a system of interconnected actuators that communicate via tubes to instantly adjust tables and keep them level on uneven surfaces. It has won several awards and been tested independently. Case studies show it saves time and money for restaurants by keeping tables stable without needing adjustment. The technology is planned to be used in other products beyond hospitality table bases.
