Front loading washing machines create a specific fit challenge that top loaders don’t, mainly around door clearance and appliance width. A clothes dryer stand for a front loader needs to account for that properly, rather than just being a generic platform. Britec Innovative Products built its entire Maxi range around this exact use case.
Front loaders open from the front rather than the top, which means the door needs clear space to swing open fully. A stand that doesn’t account for this can block the door or sit awkwardly close to the machine.
Britec’s Maxi range was designed specifically around front loader dimensions, rather than being adapted from a stand built for top loaders.
The washing machine still remains on the floor and carries its own weight. The dryer stand’s legs sit around the appliance. Enough clearance must remain to prevent contact during the washer’s spin cycle.
Measure the full cabinet, including its door, controls, hoses, and rear connections. Front loaders can vary significantly in width and depth. Nearby walls, cupboards, and skirting boards also affect positioning.
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.
There are four models within the Maxi range, each suited to slightly different front loader setups.
Both of these share the same specifications, fixed width, and 100 kilogram load rating, with the only difference being the finish. They suit most standard front loading washing machines.
Choose between them after confirming the fixed frame fits the room. The black edition suits darker appliances or cabinetry. The white model blends naturally with common white laundry appliances.
For wider front loaders, this model adjusts in width to accommodate larger washing machines and dryers, while keeping the same 100 kilogram load rating.
Compare the machine’s exact width with the stand’s published adjustment range. Leave practical access for servicing and cleaning. Do not narrow the frame until it touches the washer cabinet.
This model adds mini fixed caster wheels, allowing the dryer to be pushed into place rather than lifted. Once positioned, it stays completely stable and won’t roll forward or backward.
The fixed directional wheels support movement into confined positions. They do not make the stand freely mobile during normal use. Confirm the final location before connecting and operating both appliances.
A few practical checks make choosing between these models much easier.
Worth confirming before you buy:
Check the dryer’s weight using official specifications rather than an estimate. Heat pump and condenser dryers may be heavier than expected. Its width, depth, and feet positions must also suit the shelf.
Measure the complete room height as well. Include the washing machine, shelf position, dryer, and ventilation space. Keep power points, taps, filters, and hoses accessible.
Front loaders tend to be heavier than top loaders, and their spin cycles can create more vibration through the frame. The Maxi range’s anti-slip rubber shelf and heavy-duty steel construction were built with this in mind, keeping the dryer stable even during a full cycle.
Adjustable feet are included across every model, correcting for uneven laundry floors without needing any wall fixings.
The floor must still be firm and structurally sound. Remove loose mats and address damaged tiles before installation. Adjust every foot until the frame remains level and steady.
An anti-slip shelf helps limit dryer movement but cannot correct overloading. Stay within the 100 kilogram rating. Follow the model-specific assembly instructions and use every supplied component.
Britec has its Maxi models SGS tested for safety, and every stand comes with a five-year warranty covering defects in material and workmanship. The business has been designing laundry solutions in Australia since 2009, and its range is stocked by major retailers, including Harvey Norman, Bunnings, and Amazon.
Customer reviews currently sit at an Excellent rating across 104 reviews, which is worth checking if you’re comparing options before buying.
The five-year warranty excludes ordinary wear, accidents, negligence, modifications, and unintended use. Natural disaster damage also remains outside coverage. Keep the purchase record after installation.
Afterpay and Zip Money are both available at checkout, so the cost can be spread out with no interest added. Shipping covers most of Australia through Australia Post or a selected courier, though PO boxes can’t be used for delivery.
If you’d rather see the fit 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 arrange appropriate assistance for lifting the dryer. Complete the frame assembly and levelling before raising the appliance. Observe both machines during their first full operating cycles.
A front loader deserves a stand designed around its actual shape and weight, not a generic fit. With four models covering different widths, finishes, and mobility needs, there’s a genuine match for most setups. Reach us today to confirm which Maxi model fits your washing machine.
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.
