Electric table lift NL2388 – 3-stage rectangular aluminium – 12V DC
The NL2388 electric table lift is a 3-stage, rectangular-section aluminium system running on 12V DC, designed for modern yachts and boats. This electric table leg provides a vertical stroke of 400 mm, from 358 mm retracted to 758 mm fully extended. The same table can serve as a dining table, a coffee table or a base for converting a cockpit seating area into a sundeck. On board, every square metre counts, so this versatility is a real advantage on day-boats, cruising yachts and motor boats, many of which run on a 12V network.
The table pedestal is made of 20-micron clear anodized aluminium, which gives lasting corrosion resistance in the salty, humid conditions of the marine environment. Two identical 200 x 200 x 8 mm plates fix it to the deck and to the table top, giving a stable mounting on the cockpit sole or the saloon floor. At 11.2 kg, the unit stays easy to handle during fitting-out or refit work.
The height is not limited to two fixed positions: this electric table stand can stop at any level within its range, so the owner chooses the exact height for each use. Lifting speed is 18 mm/s with no load and 9 mm/s under load, for smooth and precise movement. The NL2388 accepts a dynamic load of 50 kg and a static load of 100 kg, rising to 200 kg with compression locking. This is enough for a solid table top and for normal use as a sunbed base.
Working with dry contacts, this motorized table base is simple to integrate. It can be operated by a single momentary switch, or, with the right control boxes, paired with a second leg or driven by a radio remote control. For a large table top, two NL2388 units can be synchronized so they move together and stay level.

Electric table lift NL2388 – Installation / Maintenance
Installation:
- Single leg, switch control: connect the unit to the 12V supply through a momentary MOM-OFF-MOM switch (NL1494).
- Single leg, remote control: add the NL1270 control box with radio receiver.
- Two synchronized legs: for large table tops, use the NL2120 synchronized control box, which also acts as a radio receiver for the AT5189 remote control.
- Cable length: keep each cable run under 5 metres. With synchronized legs, balance cable lengths between each leg and the control box.
Maintenance:
- Rinse the aluminium surfaces regularly with fresh water.
- Apply silicone spray or lanolin to the moving parts to limit friction.

Electric table lift NL2388 – Conclusion
The NL2388 is a good choice if you want one table to serve as a dining table, a coffee table and a sundeck base on a boat with a 12V DC network. Its 400 mm stroke, free choice of height and corrosion-resistant aluminium make this table stand a reliable option for new builds and refits. Before ordering, check three points. First, your onboard network must be 12V; for 24V boats, choose the NL2389. Second, the table top and its expected use must stay within 50 kg dynamic load. Third, decide on the control setup you need: a switch, a remote control, or two synchronized legs. For very large or heavy table tops, fit two synchronized NL2388 units.
