Glossary of automatic table stabilization

Fifteen terms for specifying stable tables without mixing up concepts. A manual leveller, a leg stabilizer and a self-stabilizing system don't do the same job, and the difference matters when you buy professional furniture.

When a tender or a technical specification talks about stability, the exact word stops you buying a manual fix in the belief that it's automatic.

Definitions

Self-stabilization
The automatic process by which a table fitted with the SV30 System adjusts instantly to an uneven surface, with no human intervention. The hydraulic fluid in each leg redistributes according to the pressure from the floor.
SV30 System
Patented automatic table stabilization technology developed by esTABLEes. It uses a self-contained hydraulic mechanism in each leg to eliminate wobble on uneven floors.
Self-levelling hydraulic technology
A system that uses liquid held under pressure to spread the table's weight automatically and adapt to unevenness in the floor. Each SV30 stabilizer works independently.
European patent
The patent that protects the design and operation of the SV30 System as a “levelling device for furniture legs”. Granted by the European Patent Office, it secures exclusive rights to the esTABLEes technology.
Uneven floor
A surface with dips, slopes or imperfections, typical of terraces with cobblestones, old tiles, setts or outdoor paving. The main cause of wobbly tables in hospitality.
Contract hospitality
The professional sector covering hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars and leisure venues that need high-quality, durable furniture for intensive use.
Wobbly table
A table that is unstable because one or more legs don't make even contact with the floor. A common problem in hospitality that annoys guests and causes spills.
Manual leveller
A traditional screw-adjusted device that requires someone to level each table by hand. Unlike SV30, it has to be readjusted every time the table is moved.
Leg stabilizer
The individual SV30 component fitted to each table leg. It contains the self-contained hydraulic mechanism that makes self-stabilization possible.
Cast iron base
A table base made of cast iron, very common in hospitality for its weight and stability.
Outdoor terrace
An open-air area of a restaurant, bar or hotel where tables face uneven floors and the weather. The ideal setting for the SV30 System.
Stabilizer pack
The SV30 sales unit: 48 stabilizers, enough for 12 four-legged tables, plus 2 installation tools.
Fluid redistribution
The physical process by which the hydraulic liquid inside an SV30 stabilizer moves automatically to offset the pressure differences caused by an uneven floor.
Tool-free installation
SV30 is installed by replacing the table's original foot caps with the stabilizers, with no special tools.
24-month warranty
The warranty period for every SV30 System. It covers manufacturing defects from the date of purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Is SV30 a manual leveller?

No. A manual leveller is set by hand with a screw thread. SV30 adjusts itself, with a hydraulic mechanism in each leg.

How many tables does a stabilizer pack cover?

A pack of 48 stabilizers covers 12 four-legged tables and includes 2 installation tools.
