Not every washing machine and dryer combination fits a fixed-size platform, which is exactly why an adjustable clothes dryer stand in Australia exists. Britec Innovative Products builds two models around this idea, giving households more flexibility than a one-size stand ever could. Both have been part of the range since the company started in 2009.
A fixed-width stand works fine if your washing machine sits at a standard size, but plenty don’t. Wider machines, unusual door clearances, and mismatched appliance heights are common enough that a rigid frame can leave gaps or an unstable fit.
An adjustable stand solves this by letting the frame move to suit your actual appliances, rather than forcing your laundry to work around a fixed design.
Adjustment also helps when appliances are replaced at different times. A new washer may be wider or taller than the previous model. A flexible stand can accommodate another compatible setup within its published limits. This can reduce the need to replace the stand whenever one appliance changes.
Accurate measurements still matter before ordering. Record the washing machine’s width, depth, and total height. Include doors, lids, controls, hoses, taps, and nearby cupboards. The stand needs enough clearance for normal operation and future servicing.
Britec offers different freestanding configurations because a top loader, a standard front loader and a confined laundry do not require the same solution.
Top & front loaders
An adjustable option for households that need clearance above a top loader or flexibility around a front loader.
Two-dryer solution
A vertical two-tier configuration created for households that need to organise more than one dryer above a front loader.
Front loaders
A front-loader solution designed to move into position more easily in laundries where access around the washing machine is limited.
Britec offers two stands built specifically with this flexibility in mind, each suited to slightly different needs.
This model adjusts in both width and height, and suits top and front loading washing machines. It’s rated to hold up to 80 kilograms, with adjustable feet included for uneven laundry floors.
For top loaders, check the complete path of the open lid. The shelf must sit high enough for comfortable loading. Front loader owners should confirm that the door and detergent drawer remain unobstructed.
The Ultra offers a similar width and height adjustment, along with two shelf height options for extra flexibility. It also suits both top and front loaders, and carries the same 80 kilogram load rating as the standard Adjustable model.
Its extra-low adjustable height can help where overhead space is limited. However, ventilation clearance must still meet the dryer’s requirements. Never reduce clearance simply to make an unsuitable appliance fit.
Picking between the two usually comes down to a few practical details specific to your laundry.
Worth confirming before you order:
If height flexibility matters more than anything else, the Ultra’s additional shelf height option tends to make the difference.
Check the dryer’s exact weight through its manual or official specifications. Do not estimate weight from its drum capacity or appearance. Heat pump and condenser models can weigh more than similarly sized vented dryers.
Floor condition also affects the final choice. Adjustable feet can correct minor unevenness, but not damaged tiles or severe slopes. The completed frame should remain level and steady before the dryer is positioned.
Both adjustable models share the same core construction as every other Britec stand. That means a high quality steel frame, an anti-slip rubber shelf to reduce vibration, and a completely freestanding design with no wall drilling required.
The anti-slip shelf helps maintain contact beneath the dryer’s feet. It does not increase the model’s safe load rating. Keep the surface clean and avoid adding boards, mats, or other improvised layers.
They’re also backed by the same testing and support that applies across the range:
It’s worth understanding the warranty properly before you rely on it. Britec’s cover applies for five years from the date on your invoice, replacing faulty parts at no cost during that period.
A few situations sit outside this cover, which is fair to know upfront:
Afterpay and Zip Money are both available at checkout, letting you spread the cost with no interest added. Shipping covers most of Australia through Australia Post or a selected courier, though deliveries can’t be sent to a PO box.
If you’d rather see the adjustment range in person, showroom pickup is available in Pemulwuy, New South Wales, and Ripley, Queensland, subject to stock. Installation is also offered in Sydney and Brisbane, generally costing between $120 and $200 depending on location.
Self-installers should follow the model-specific instructions and use suitable lifting assistance. Complete all width, height, and foot adjustments before placing the dryer on the shelf. Recheck every fastener after the frame is level.
An adjustable clothes dryer stand takes the guesswork out of fitting your dryer above an odd-sized washing machine. With two models to choose from, and genuine flexibility in both width and height, your laundry doesn’t need to compromise. Reach us today to talk through which adjustable model suits your setup.
The value of a dryer stand is not simply that it holds an appliance. The design needs to work with the room, the washing machine and the way the household uses the laundry.
Freestanding
No wall brackets or drilling are required for the stand itself.
Adjustable setup
Selected models provide width, height or levelling adjustment.
Anti-slip shelf
Rubber shelf material is designed to reduce dryer movement and vibration.
Portable solution
A practical choice for renters and households planning future moves.
A simple process helps avoid fit issues and makes product selection much easier.
Record the available width, depth and height, including cabinets, doors and services.
Check machine dimensions, dryer weight and top-loader lid clearance where relevant.
Compare your measurements with Britec sizing guides and certified capacity.
Follow the model instructions or arrange professional installation in an available area.
Tony Kahale created the Dryer Stand after identifying a need for a more practical space-saving laundry solution.
The response to the original design led to Britec Innovative Products and an expanding range of home solutions. The company continues to develop products around common household problems, with customer conversations helping shape future designs.
Britec remains Australian owned and operated, with an in-house focus on product quality and personalised customer service.
