Australian laundries come in all shapes and sizes, from tight apartment nooks to larger family setups, and a clothes dryer stand in Australia needs to work across that whole range. Britec Innovative Products has built its business around exactly this variety since 2009, offering multiple models rather than a single generic design.
Washing machine types differ, dryer weights differ, and laundry floor space differs from one home to the next. A single fixed design would inevitably leave some households poorly served, which is why the range has grown to cover several distinct needs.
Appliance dimensions can also change when a household replaces one machine. A stand that suited an older washer may not fit a wider model. Published adjustment ranges and safe loads should therefore guide every decision.
Laundry access matters beyond the appliance space itself. Narrow doors, stairs, cupboards, and low ceilings can affect installation. Measuring the full route before delivery can prevent avoidable handling problems.
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’s current lineup covers most washing machine types and laundry layouts found across Australian homes.
Here’s what’s currently available:
The Adjustable and Ultra models work with top and front loading washing machines. The Ultra offers an extra-low height setting and two shelf positions. Both carry dryers weighing up to 80 kilograms.
The Maxi White and Black Edition use fixed widths for front loader arrangements. Maxi Adjustable accommodates wider washers and dryers. The Glide-in Maxi supports easier positioning within confined laundry spaces.
The Washer Base serves another purpose by raising a compatible front loading appliance. It leaves room underneath for most laundry baskets. Its 150 kilogram rating does not apply to ordinary dryer stands.
A few straightforward questions usually narrow the choice down quickly.
Top loaders generally suit the Adjustable or Ultra models, while front loaders open up the whole Maxi range as well. This is usually the first thing worth confirming before comparing anything else.
Top loader owners should measure the lid through its complete opening movement. The shelf needs enough height for comfortable loading. Front loader owners should check door swing, detergent drawer access, and cabinet width.
Lighter dryers under 80 kilograms fit comfortably on the standard adjustable models. Heavier heat pump or condenser dryers often need the 100 kilogram rating found across the Maxi range.
Confirm weight through the appliance manual or official product specifications. Do not estimate it from drum capacity. Measure the dryer width, depth, feet positions, and required ventilation clearance as well.
Then check the room’s total available height. Include both appliances, the shelf position, and overhead clearance. Keep cupboards, taps, outlets, hoses, and service points accessible.
Regardless of which model suits your laundry, a few core features stay consistent across the entire lineup.
Every Britec stand includes:
The floor must provide firm and stable support. Adjustable feet can correct minor variations but not damaged tiles. Remove loose mats and level the frame before positioning the dryer.
The anti-slip shelf helps reduce gradual movement during dryer operation. It cannot increase the stand’s stated load capacity. Follow the exact assembly instructions for the selected model.
Britec has its relevant models independently SGS tested, giving genuine verification behind the strength and stability claims. Every stand also comes with a five-year warranty covering defects in material and workmanship, and the business has remained Australian owned and operated since 2009.
Major retailers, including Harvey Norman, Bunnings, and Amazon, stock the range, and customer reviews currently sit at an Excellent rating across 104 reviews.
The five-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes normal wear, accidents, negligence, modifications, and unintended use. Fire, flooding, and natural disaster damage also remain outside coverage.
Keep the invoice or warranty card because it confirms the coverage date. Correct assembly and ordinary care support long-term use. Never alter the frame to force an unsuitable appliance combination.
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 PO boxes.
If you’re in New South Wales or Queensland, showroom pickup is available in Pemulwuy and Ripley, subject to current stock. Installation is also offered in Sydney and Brisbane, generally costing between $120 and $200 depending on location.
Self-installers should arrange suitable help for lifting the dryer. Finish assembling, adjusting, and levelling the stand before raising the appliance. Observe the setup during its first complete operating cycle.
With this many washing machine types and dryer weights across Australian laundries, having a proper range matters. Britec’s lineup covers most combinations, from tight apartment setups through to larger family laundries.

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.
