Some years later, following extensive investment in R&amp;D and testing, FLAT has developed patented, proprietary technologies that can be used to stabilise and align items on uneven surfaces.<\/p><p>In 2012, our hydraulic technology (Patented Actuator Device \u2013 or PAD) was commercialized and applied to FLAT Table Bases (using the Patented Undercarriage Key \u2013 or PUK). The technology automatically adjusts and stabilises the table instantly.<\/p><p>In 2017, our unique technology developed further as FLAT Equalizers were launched. Equalizers stabilise existing wobbly tables by replacing a table&#8217;s existing screw-in feet. They stabilise tables following a gentle press on the table&#8217;s top.<\/p><p>Today, our technology is being used to stabilise and align tables in the hospitality industry worldwide. Our technology could be applied to levelling many other items such as helicopters, domestic appliances, film-set equipment and more, and it can be licensed by manufacturers.<\/p><p>FLAT stabilising products provide a variety of solutions to correct wobbly tables and table alignment &#8211; problems that have plagued the industry for decades.<\/p><p>Stabilising and aligning tables presents a significant problem for those working in the hospitality industry (restaurants, bars, caf\u00e9&#8217;s, hotels, etc.), affecting their profitability, customer service and reputation. (See how much wobbly tables could be costing you using our <a href=\"\/calculator\">online calculator<\/a>).<\/p><p>FLAT and our international team of dealers are experiencing increasing demand for our products. In addition to our growing presence in North America, Europe and Asia, FLAT table bases are now available via FLAT-approved dealers in Central and South America.<\/p><p>We have offices in the USA, UK, Australia, Hong Kong and the Netherlands.
