Good Hevens.. My neighbors already think we're an odd bunch... Now we just stick this in the carport and see what the homeowners assoc. has to say!
I've seen a few machines this size in action and they are pretty awesome and amazing to see!!! These machines generally tend to be soft mount, their shock absorber look EXACTLY like those on semi trailers and many of these machines actually stand themselves up. They wash sitting down, not utilizing their shocks, but then they stand up and sit on their shocks to spin, they rise about 6 inches to a foot, it's pretty neat to watch! Here is a picture of a washer shock absorber by the Washex company:
Had one at the old St Joseph plant.
They were wonderful machines. They DID have to be bolted to floor.. That model sat on box car springs. Notice in the pics there is one showing.. There were 4 one at each side. Washex and Milnor uses the "air mounts" The machine actually rasies 4 to 6 ' off the floor while in extract. Washex calls their model the "floataire"model as it floats on air. Braun still makes that machine, and now sells for around $75,000.00 I would grab that one in a min. but do not have a drain sump here. City outlawed them about 10 years ago. The machine has 2, 6" drain valves and dumps 200 gallons of water in 30 seconds just before it starts into extract.. The machine I had ran 16 hours a day 7 days a week and the only thing that was ever done to it in 16 years was new seals and belts every 2 years. We had a wonderful matainance man assigined to the laundry. That did a wonderful job of keeping every thing up and running. Not so anymore.. Now they cant even change the light bulbs.

There is a Washex pass thru Machine on e bay too.
It is the floataire model but requires a drain sump too. The pass thru is sometimes called staph gaurd models. As the soil load in loaded in one side in a soiled room and the clean in unloaded in another room on the clean side. They are VERY expensive . That Washex Model sells for around $98,000.00 and is made here in Texas in Witchta Falls. They moved from Plainview New York about 25 years ago. American Laundry Machinery and Troy Laundrite also had pass thru machines.. Americans model was a StaphCadex and Troys model was StaphGuard. Both have been gone for years now.

You would need more laundry than just the close area to make 800lbs of wash. Unless your area includes a military base or two, several large hospitals and or anything else that generates large amounts of laundry.
Am wondering how poor laundry workers remove 800lbs of wash from those machines.

Generally, laundry workers don't load machines of such size, the systems are automated with a series of conveyor belts that sit on rails and travel from machine to machine, loading and unloading them.
Yeabut!
According to this those Braun TSL (Top Side Loading) washer extractors can be loaded by hand as well.

Many plants still DO hand load and unload
Loading position is at 1 oclock and can be loaded by slings hopper or hand. Usually by hand method uses 2 people. Unload is much easier as the 5 oclock position is used and since the machine has 2 "pockets" on each side, the work comes out into a basket quite easily.. usually loading takes about 5 mins with 2 people and 10 with 1. Unloading takes about 1 min per pocket and only one person. A good washman can usually keep 4 or 5 machines running. If he has a good assit. the 2 can almost always handle the sorting, washers and tumblers too.Most of the time it will take 45 mins. to produce a good clean load of work. With load and unload times expect production to avg. 1 load per hour. most mfgs. base the daily production rate of the machine on this scale.
