Hure Crank Table Base

Description

Vintage Industrial introduced the Hure adjustable height crank table base in 2011. At the time, there was nothing else like it in the American market — a fully fabricated hot-rolled steel base with four independent crank mechanisms engineered to move in tandem. Since then, counterfeit Hure crank table bases have flooded the market. If you’ve been shopping adjustable crank table bases and noticed similar-looking options at a fraction of the price, be aware: they are not the same product.

Four-Point Crank Mechanism — Why It Matters

Most adjustable height crank table bases use a single central mechanism. The Hure deploys four independent 3-ton mechanisms — one at each corner — operating simultaneously. Turn either crank handle and all four engage. The result is a table that adjusts across a full range of heights with exceptional stability and zero racking. It’s a fundamentally different mechanical approach, and it’s why the Hure has been the most copied crank table base design we’ve ever made.

What the Copies Get Wrong

We’ve been watching knockoffs of our crank table designs since 2011. We recently broke down what separates the original from the imported alternatives — read the full breakdown here. The short version: wall thickness, weld quality, mechanism grade, and finish depth are all things a product photo can’t show you. The Hure is built to last decades. The copies are not.

Height Range, Top Compatibility, and Scale

The Hure adjusts from dining height through counter to bar height — the full range in a single base. It accepts tops in solid hardwood, hot-rolled steel, concrete, glass, and stone. The base is a modular system: each unit consists of two pedestals. A standard two-unit configuration supports tops up to 12 feet. A third unit is added beyond 12 feet, a fourth beyond 24 feet, and so on — the system scales to any length with no practical upper limit. Base weight starts at approximately 250 lb per unit. Top material, dimensions, and finish are confirmed during your commission conversation. All solid hardwood tops include a hand-applied finish.

Steel and Finish

The base is fabricated from hot-rolled steel, hand-selected for grain and character. Standard finishes are natural steel, blackened steel, and aged paint finish. Custom paint finishes and color matching are also available — discussed during your commission conversation.
