Why Use Equalizer Table Slides?

Equalizer slides are specially designed for pedestal tables where balance is crucial. The rack-and-pinion system ensures both sides of the tabletop open evenly, preventing strain on the center pedestal. The built-in camber provides extra support at the table ends, keeping surfaces level even when extended.
