TelescopAdjustable Table Pedestal 295–690 mm – Aluminum (No Floor Cutout Needed)

This telescopic aluminum table pedestal offers flexible height adjustment, making it extremely practical for boats with multi-use spaces. With a range from 295 mm to 690 mm, it can serve as a low coffee table or bunk support as well as a standard dining table. The Tri-telescopic design features three sections of varying diameters (approximately 73 mm, 60 mm, and 50 mm) that nest within each other. The mechanism is manually operated (no gas spring), which means reliability and simplicity – there are no hydraulic parts to maintain.

Construction Features:

• No Floor Hole Needed: The pedestal is free-standing – mounted on the floor via a wide round base (228 mm diameter) that screws down to the deck. In its lowest position (295 mm), the middle and inner tubes do not drop into the floor; they collapse above the base. This eliminates the need for a hole or socket in the floor for the pedestal to drop into – a big advantage for retrofitting into existing decks or finished floors.
• Stable Base: The Ø228 mm aluminum base distributes weight evenly and has pre-drilled holes for at least 6 screws or bolts, ensuring a strong attachment to the deck. The base is flat and “extra-flat” in profile – low-profile so it won’t obstruct movement when the table/leg is removed or at its lowest setting.
• Substantial Top Mount: At the top of the column, there is a square or round mounting plate (~182×182 mm) that attaches to the underside of your tabletop. It’s made of anodized aluminum and often allows for swivel or slide (if paired with such mechanisms, not included here). Even without a swivel device, the plate provides a secure connection for your table top.

Adjustment and Use:

• Manual Locking: To change the height, the column likely uses a threaded locking mechanism or clamping collars – loosen, adjust to desired height, then tighten again. On the “Tri” model, there are typically two locking points (at least one on the middle section and one on the inner section) to ensure each telescoping tube is held firmly. The included stainless steel clamping collars provide very secure locking with no wobble, keeping the table stable at all heights.
• Interior Application: It’s ideal for saloon or cabin tables where the table also serves as a base for a bed. For example, at night you can lower the table to seat level (~295 mm from the floor) and place cushions on top of it to form a berth. In the morning, raise the column back up to 690 mm for dining or working. The adjustment is entirely mechanical and quick to do, and it guarantees security – the table will not drift down on its own.
• Removal: If you want to completely clear the space, the pedestal can be removed by detaching it from the base. Typically, this involves loosening a set-screw or release latch, allowing you to lift the entire column out of the base. On the floor, only the low-profile base remains (which is flat and not a trip hazard). This is very convenient when converting the area to an open lounge or when the table won’t be needed for an extended time.

Recommendations:

• Maximum Stability: To get the most out of this pedestal’s capacity, ensure the base is mounted on a solid surface (e.g., a reinforced section of the floor or with a backing plate underneath thin decking). That way, even at the full 690 mm height and in rough seas, the table remains steady.
• Lifting Load: The three-section design and diameters provide a high load capacity – suitable for standard wooden or composite tables for 4 people. There is no gas assist, so height changes are manual – with a heavy tabletop, you might need a bit of muscle to lift it. However, the lack of a gas mechanism also means no maintenance – fewer parts to wear out.

This “Tri” telescopic pedestal combines the versatility of adjustable height with the strength of aluminum construction. With it, your onboard table becomes a truly multi-functional piece of furniture – ready to adapt to different situations without compromising stability or style.
