Ball Jointed Levelling Feet
Richmond’s ball jointed levelling feet are designed to provide a stable and secure base for furniture, workbenches, and equipment on uneven or sloped floors. Featuring an articulating head, these feet automatically adjust to maintain full surface contact, improving stability and reducing rocking or movement caused by floor irregularities. Heavy-duty models like the LVR8020100SSS offer load capacities up to 1000kg, making them suitable for industrial applications as well as commercial and residential use.
Why Choose Ball Jointed Levelling Feet?
Unlike fixed feet, ball jointed designs can pivot to match the floor’s angle, maintaining full contact even when the leg isn’t perfectly vertical. This ensures greater stability on uneven surfaces and helps protect both the structure and flooring beneath. They’re especially useful in work environments where level positioning improves safety, comfort, or performance—such as manufacturing, fabrication, or precision assembly setups.

FAQs
How does a ball joint levelling foot work?
The foot includes a pivoting base that tilts to match the floor angle, while the threaded stem remains fixed. This ensures flat, stable contact with uneven surfaces.
Can these feet support heavy loads?
Yes. Heavy-duty models such as the LVR8020100SSS are rated up to 1000kg, suitable for use with industrial benches, cabinets, or fixed machinery.
Are they safe for tile or timber floors?
Yes. Most models have non-marking nylon bases that prevent scratches and are safe for smooth or sealed flooring surfaces.
How are they installed?
They screw directly into compatible tube inserts or pre-threaded frames. The stem allows for easy height adjustment by hand or spanner.
Where should I use swivel feet vs. fixed feet?
Use ball jointed (swivel) feet on uneven or sloped floors for maximum contact. Use fixed feet on level floors where articulation isn’t required.
