FLAT Technology, a Firm Footing For Nearly Everything

FLAT®'s patented technology is unique. It is incorporated into products at the design stage, so manufacturers aren't stuck with a clumsy, bolt-on afterthought.

Put simply, FLAT® is a remarkable levelling and stabilizing technology. A series of interconnected actuators or feet communicate information about the surface conditions below via multi lumen tubes to the FLAT®smart system resulting in constant stability for the table no matter how often its location is altered.

All objects manufactured with FLAT® will find their level on any uneven surface - instantly, with the applications load distributed perfectly over each foot.

FLAT® is a remarkable cutting edge levelling and stabilisation technology.

Technology right image It is elegant and simple, and fits seamlessly into countless products which in the past have been challenged by uneven surfaces.

Each point of contact with the ground has its own hydraulic cylinder fitted within the leg, and all the cylinders are interconnected with fluid hoses. We refer to this device as the PAD (Patented Actuator Device). When the first leg makes contact with the ground, the fluid in that cylinder is forced out through the hoses and into the other legs. This causes the other legs to extend outwards. Once the final leg makes contact, the weight of the application is transferred through the fluid, triggering the locking mechanisms in all cylinders. The result is constant stability no matter how often the leg's location is altered.

All objects manufactured with FLAT® will find their level on any uneven surface - instantly, with the application’s load distributed perfectly over each foot.

FLAT®'s patented technology is unique. We have engineered both the PAD and the PUK (Patented Undercarriage Key) to create an integrated unit. It is incorporated into products at the design stage, so manufacturers aren't stuck with a clumsy, bolt-on afterthought.

With a myriad of cost-effective uses, FLAT® will change how the world looks at design, making instability a thing of the past. No matter what type of product or use, FLAT® will keep it rock steady. In every environment, FLAT® technology simply adjusts to the situation and locks the product into position.
