Stacked washer dryer units: stackable washer and dryer pairs for commercial sites

A stacked washer dryer is a washing machine and a tumble dryer installed vertically as a single column, with the dryer mounted above the washer on a purpose-built stacking kit or factory frame. It delivers the same wash and dry capacity as a side-by-side pair in roughly half the floor space.

Most commercial stacks are 600mm to 700mm wide and 700mm to 800mm deep, standing about 1.8 to 2.1 metres tall. Allow additional clearance at the rear for services and enough front access for a technician to remove panels.

For any shared or business use, yes. Domestic stacks are rated for roughly one household load per day, while commercial units are engineered for thousands of cycles, accept payment systems and are supported by parts and technicians rather than a retail warranty.

Yes. Aqualogic fits card, tap and app-based payment to stacked units, with remote pricing and reporting so you can adjust prices and see revenue per machine without visiting site.

Not always. Light-commercial stacks up to about 11kg are commonly available in single-phase configurations. Larger commercial stacks and higher-output dryers usually require three phase, and gas heating is an option where it is available on site.

In practice they describe the same thing: a dryer mounted above a washer. Stackable usually refers to two separate machines joined with a stacking kit. Stacking washer and dryer, or an upright washer dryer, more often means a factory built column with a shared frame. Both are available from Aqualogic in commercial grades.

No. Only machines the manufacturer rates for stacking, with a matching stacking kit or frame, should be stacked. A commercial washer extracts at high G and the frame has to hold the dryer steady through that. We only supply pairs designed to go together.

Light commercial stacked pairs generally start in the mid four figures installed. Commercial grade uprights with higher capacity, three phase power and payment systems sit in the five figure range. We quote per site, and finance and rental options are available.

Yes. A row of upright columns doubles the number of machines in a given frontage and keeps the customer flow simple: wash below, dry above, pay at the same point. They are a common choice for small format and unattended laundromats.

That is one of the most common installations. A single phase light commercial stack fits in a cupboard or corridor alcove on each floor, takes app or card payment and is serviced under a maintenance program so building managers are not chasing repairs.

For shared living, gyms and holiday parks, an 8 to 11kg washer over a 11 to 15kg dryer handles most sites. For aged care, clinics and hotels, move to 13 to 25kg washers with a dryer sized about 1.5 times the washer. We size on loads per day rather than headcount alone.
