Choosing a dryer stand for a washing machine in Australia usually starts with one simple question: will it actually hold your dryer safely above your specific washing machine? Britec Innovative Products has spent since 2009 answering that question with a range built around real Australian laundry setups.
A washing machine and dryer sitting side by side takes up more floor space than most laundries can spare. Stacking the dryer above the washing machine instead solves that directly, using vertical space rather than eating into the room.
The stand itself needs to do two jobs at once. It has to fit securely around your washing machine, and it has to hold your dryer steady during a full cycle.
The washing machine remains on the floor and carries its own weight. The stand supports the dryer independently through its frame. This prevents the washer cabinet from carrying another appliance directly.
Space gained on the floor still needs careful planning. Keep baskets, doors, hoses, filters, and power points accessible. A tightly fitted arrangement should remain practical during everyday use 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.
The first real decision point is whether your washing machine is a top loader or a front loader, since that changes which models suit your setup.
Top loaders generally pair with the Dryer Stand Adjustable or Dryer Stand Ultra, both adjustable in width and height and rated to hold up to 80 kilograms.
Measure the lid through its complete opening movement before choosing a shelf height. The Ultra provides an extra-low adjustable height and two shelf positions. Ventilation clearance must still meet the dryer’s requirements.
Front loaders open up the Maxi range, including the White, Black Edition, and Adjustable models, plus the wheeled Glide-in Maxi. These are rated to 100 kilograms and built around front loader door clearance.
Fixed-width Maxi models suit many standard front loaders. The Maxi Adjustable accommodates wider appliances. The Glide-in Maxi helps position the dryer inside confined laundry spaces.
Once you know your washing machine type, your dryer’s actual weight narrows the choice further.
A few weight brackets worth checking:
If you’re unsure of your dryer’s exact weight, the appliance’s own specification sheet will usually list it clearly.
Do not estimate the weight from drum capacity or appearance. Heat pump and condenser dryers may be heavier than expected. Measure width, depth, feet positions, and ventilation requirements alongside the published weight.
The Washer Base serves a different purpose from an ordinary dryer stand. It raises compatible front loading appliances and provides space underneath. Choose equipment according to its intended configuration.
Regardless of which model ends up suiting your washing machine, the core construction stays consistent across the whole range. Every stand uses a high quality steel frame, finished with an anti-slip rubber shelf that reduces vibration during use.
Adjustable feet are included on every model, correcting for uneven laundry floors without needing any wall fixings. Nothing in the range requires drilling, which suits renters just as well as homeowners.
The floor must still remain firm and suitable. Adjustable feet can correct minor variations but not broken tiles. Complete all levelling before lifting the dryer onto the shelf.
Buying a stand for two expensive appliances isn’t something to base purely on a product photo. Britec has its relevant models independently SGS tested, checking real structural performance under load.
A few other points worth knowing:
Does the stand need to be assembled? Yes, though assembly is straightforward and tools are supplied with every stand. Can it be moved later if I rearrange my laundry? Yes, since nothing is fixed to the wall, the whole unit can be repositioned. What if my washing machine is unusually wide? The Maxi Adjustable model offers extra width specifically for larger front loaders.
Will every dryer type suit the range? Heat pump, condenser, vented, and gas dryers may be compatible. The selected model must still suit the dryer’s weight, dimensions, and required ventilation clearance.
Can the stand sit on a sloping floor? Adjustable feet help with minor variations. Severe slopes, loose tiles, or unstable surfaces should be corrected before installation.
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 in person, showroom pickup is available in Pemulwuy, New South Wales, and Ripley, Queensland, depending on stock. Installation is also offered in Sydney and Brisbane, generally costing between $120 and $200 depending on location.
A properly chosen dryer stand for your washing machine, wherever you are in Australia, comes down to matching your washing machine type and your dryer’s weight properly, not just picking whatever’s cheapest. With a range covering different loading types and weight ratings, most Australian laundries can find a genuine fit. Reach us today to confirm which 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.
