What is the base suitable for?
Basically, our base is suitable for all appliances that are suitable in terms of weight and dimensions. Our customers mainly use the base as a washing machine and dryer base.
Will my device fit on the base?
Two things are particularly important:
1. The exact dimensions of your machine, measured on the installation surface
- maximum width: 600 mm
- maximum depth: 580 mm
2. The maximum load weight (see the installation instructions or the individual product description) of the individual base must not be exceeded
If your machine is a maximum of 600 mm wide and 580 mm deep, measured on the installation surface, then it will fit in the base. Please note that the machine manufacturers often specify the maximum dimensions on the product data sheet. The actual dimensions on the installation surface can differ by several centimeters from the specified dimensions.
Do I need wall mounts?
When using our bases with a washing machine, the use of the additional wall brackets is strongly recommended .
If you want to use a dryer , refrigerator or other appliance that does not develop dynamic forces, the wall brackets are optional .
How wide is the area of the surrounding frame or the installation surface?
The surrounding frame and thus also the installation surface has a width of 55 mm.
What is the thickness of the base legs?
The material thickness of the base legs is 2 mm.
Does the base need to be assembled?
The construction of the base is very simple and described in detail. Since the base is completely welded, there is no need for assembly work . All you have to do is screw the included adjustable feet into the thread of the square plugs.
What is the material thickness of the cross braces (reinforcements)?
The welded cross braces (from 30 cm height) also have a material thickness of 2 mm.
What color are the bases?
All of our products are high-quality powder-coated in the color RAL 9016 (traffic white). The powder coating also serves as corrosion protection.
Where are the bases manufactured?
All products are manufactured in Germany. With the exception of powder coating, every step of the process is carried out in-house. The bases are also welded by hand.
What are the advantages of using a base?
- preventing water damage
- relief during loading and unloading
- Remedy if the wastewater drain is too high
- Easier cleaning of the floor
What heights are there?
We offer the bases in five different heights:
- 12 cm
- 20 cm
- 30 cm
- 40 cm
- 50 cm
What material are the feet made of?
The adjustable feet are made of polyamide and have a threaded bolt made of galvanized steel.
Is the height adjustable?
The included adjustable feet are primarily intended to compensate for unevenness. The adjustable feet ( 40 mm thread ) must be screwed into the thread at least 20 mm so that a play of 20 mm is possible.
In addition, longer adjustable feet ( 50 mm thread ) can be ordered, increasing the play from 20 to 30 mm .
What is the load capacity of the bases?
To do this, you must read the individual product description or follow the installation instructions . A load capacity table is listed there.
Is there anything to consider during installation?
As mentioned elsewhere, there is hardly any assembly work involved. The four included adjustable feet must be fully screwed into the threads of the square plugs.
The subsequent adjustment of the feet must not be carried out under load.
Detailed assembly instructions are included with the base or can be found on our homepage. We also recommend watching the video with the assembly instructions , which can also be found on our homepage.
Can I return my order?
Of course, you can cancel your order without giving any reasons
Please ensure that this is done within the 14-day cancellation period , which takes effect from the moment of receipt of the delivery.
What is the distance between the pull-out shelf and the cross brace?
The distance between the extendable shelf and the cross brace is approx. 290 mm .
What is the distance between the floor and the cross brace?
The distance between the cross brace and the floor is approx. 75 mm when the feet are fully screwed in.
By adjusting the feet, a measurement of 95 mm can be achieved.
In addition, longer adjustable feet can be purchased, which make a measurement of 105 mm possible.
