I had to mount a tumble dryer on a wall without much space for a second person to help, so used a bike lift table to assist...

What is the specific name for that jack?
Hydraulic Scissor Lift Table, this one was purchased and delivered from Paramount Browns in South Australia for $183 at the time - www.paramountbrowns.com.au/products/scissor-lift-table-135kg/ (They are normally used for lifting Motor Bikes I believe)
Hi, when I can buy the red jack, what is the max high? Ty
I bought it from www.paramountbrowns.com.au/products/scissor-lift-table-135kg/. Lift height range is 345mm to 885mm. I believe that this is typically sold as a motorbike lift so would have versions of this at most car/automotive stores or hardware stores.
Thank you very much
Hi Does the bottom of the dryer have to be fastened to the wall or is the top bracket enough to secure the dryer? Thank you.
Short answer is yes, the top bracket holds the machine and two pegs keep the base the correct distance from wall. Longer Answer: On the back of a machine there are 4 holes in each corner that are blanked off. They are tabs that can be pushed in to create an opening. The dryers weight is supported by the bracket that goes into two of these holes depending on if you mount it correct way up or upside down. There are also other holes on the back that two pegs can go into. These keep the base of the dyer the correct distance out from the wall. If you put a block of wood on the wall to mount the hooks so that you can screw into a stud, then you need to do the same and have a bit of wood at the spacers on the base. (I just packed mine out with round sticky feet if I remember. If I was designing my laundry again, I would be inclined to put both dryer and washing machine under the counter and have cupboards on top instead (Albeit, that makes venting through the ceiling that little bit harder)
NO
Where can I get the brackets ? Mine didn't come with the dryer and I cant find anywhere . Thank you .
You should be able to get them at the same shop where you bought your tumble dryer. I would ask them, I did and said mine didn’t come with one and the gave me a set. Sometimes they are two brackets and sometimes a single piece wide one. You also need in the set, the two pegs that come with them that go on the lower back to keep the dryer level. You also need to make sure you have the replacement overlay so the text isn’t upside down - this usually comes with the drier too. Alternatively you can get a rubber mat that sits on to of your washer to sit the drier on top. You also get drawers that sit under the washing machine that lift it up about 40cm, then you put the drier on top of washer and by that time it is near the ceiling so no need to install a bracket...many choices
