Buying a dryer stand for a washing machine and dryer together means thinking about two appliances at once, not just one. Getting either half of that equation wrong can leave you with a stand that doesn’t fit properly or can’t safely support the dryer’s weight. Britec Innovative Products designs its range around this exact combination.
It’s easy to focus purely on the dryer’s weight when choosing a stand, but the washing machine underneath matters just as much. The stand needs to fit around your washing machine’s width and loading type, while still holding your dryer securely on top.
The washing machine remains on the floor and does not carry the dryer. The stand’s frame transfers the shelf load directly to the floor. Enough clearance must remain around the washer during spinning.
Measure both appliances before comparing products. Include doors, lids, controls, hoses, cables, and rear connections. Also record room height and nearby obstacles such as taps, cupboards, and skirting boards.
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.
Before looking at load ratings, it helps to confirm what kind of washing machine you actually have.
If you’ve got a top loader, the Dryer Stand Adjustable or Ultra models are generally the right starting point, both rated to hold up to 80 kilograms.
Check the top loader lid through its complete opening movement. The chosen shelf height should preserve comfortable access. The Ultra provides an extra-low adjustable height and two shelf position options.
Front loaders open up the Maxi range, including the White, Black Edition, and Adjustable options, along with the wheeled Glide-in Maxi. These are rated to 100 kilograms and built specifically around front loader clearance.
Fixed-width Maxi models suit many standard front loaders. The Maxi Adjustable accommodates wider appliances. The Glide-in Maxi helps with positioning inside confined laundries through its fixed directional caster wheels.
Once the washing machine type narrows down your options, your dryer’s actual weight decides the rest.
A few weight brackets to check against:
If you’re not sure of your dryer’s exact weight, its specification sheet or manual will usually list it clearly.
Do not estimate weight from drum size or appearance. Heat pump and condenser dryers can be heavier than expected. Confirm width, depth, feet positions, and ventilation requirements alongside the weight.
The Washer Base should not be treated as a heavier version of every stand. It raises compatible front loading appliances for another purpose. Select equipment according to its stated use and specifications.
Regardless of which combination you’re working with, a few core features keep both appliances properly supported.
Every Britec stand includes:
The adjustable feet require a firm, clean floor. They can correct minor unevenness but not broken tiles. Finish levelling the frame before lifting the dryer onto its shelf.
The anti-slip surface supports grip beneath the dryer. It does not increase the published load rating. Keep all appliance feet within the intended shelf area.
A stand supporting two expensive appliances needs to be properly verified, not just described as suitable. Britec has its relevant models independently SGS tested, checking real structural performance under load.
Further backing comes from a five-year warranty covering defects in material and workmanship, alongside the business’s track record operating in Australia 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 warranty excludes ordinary wear, accidents, negligence, modifications, and unintended use. Natural disaster damage also remains outside coverage. Keep the invoice or warranty card after purchase.
SGS testing verifies stated capacities for the relevant models. Correct assembly and appliance matching remain essential. Never alter the frame to force an unsuitable washer or dryer into place.
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’d rather confirm the fit for both appliances 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.
Prepare clear access before delivery or installation. Remove stored items and provide both appliance model details. Self-installers should arrange suitable assistance because dryers can be heavy and awkward.
Choosing a stand for your washing machine and dryer means solving two problems with one decision. By matching loading type, width, and weight properly, both appliances stay stable and protected for years. Reach us today to talk through your specific washing machine and dryer combination.
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.
