How to raise a washing machine for ergonomic laundry

Published on: 17/08/2022 Author: Babette

Laundry is a repetitive task that can be even more strenuous without the right setup. Specifically, washing machine or dryer units which are not placed at an ergonomic height can make completing your laundry more difficult than it needs to be. In particular, working at the wrong height can contribute towards musculoskeletal pain such as back and neck aches.

Our washing machine cupboards are modular, which means we have the right solution for almost every space. Choose your basic cabinet and then select any additional features you need to create the perfect laundry setup.

The benefits of raising your washer and dryer to the ideal working height include:

No need to bend over to do your laundry
Helps avoid pain, strains and injuries due to poor posture
Suitable for all types of washing machines and dryers
Your washing machine and dryer will remain secure in the cupboard

Raised washing machine and dryer to achieve the ideal working height when doing laundry

Achieving a raised washing machine cupboard for your washer or dryer is easier than you think!

That’s because our washing machine cupboards position your washing machine and dryer higher off the ground. This means that if you opt for a Washtower unit with raised washer or dryer configurations, your washer or dryer units will be elevated off the ground during the installation process.

With a Washtower unit, it’s possible to raise your machine up to 25.6 inches off the ground, placing it at the ideal height. Compare this to competitor brands whereby the average raised washing machine cabinet only gives circa 15.7 inches of extra height, and it’s clear that our elevated washing machine cupboard contributes more effectively in preventing back pain.

Our cabinets are suitable for all types of washing machines and dryers up to 265 pounds. Furthermore, the WSCS146, WSCS1462 and WSTT185 models are the only raised washing machine cupboards that have TÜV safety certification.

Washtower basic washing machine cupboards come with a drawer and a pull-out tray. However, you can also opt for a raised washing machine unit with additional overhead storage.
