Can you place a clothes washer or dryer on a mobile base?

Can a clothes washer, dryer, or staked combo be used on a mobile base? The idea is that you can have your machines stored out of the way, then rolled out when they need to be used.

A summary of the explanation below is that we do not recommend using a washer, dryer or stacked washer & dryer combo with our mobile bases. For more detail, please continue reading.

Stacked washer & dryer combo

We do not recommend using our mobile bases with a stacked washer dryer combo due to the height of the stack making it very top heavy when on a rolling base.

Single Washer or Dryer

We also do not recommend using a mobile base with a single washer or dryer. Washers and dryers tend to shake or vibrate when in operation due to internal parts spinning at high speed. This also applies to the stacked washer/dryer combos.

Our mobile bases are designed for use primarily with woodworking tools, which are designed to have no vibration or shaking (think of how a saw blade spinning at 4000rpm would act if it was not perfectly balanced). They do not have any grip surfaces or similar things, so when in use, the machine could shake excessively causing damage to the base or the machine.
