Finalist in two categories

Sam Birch, product manager, says: “We are delighted to have been shortlisted for two categories within this year’s prestigious RAC Cooling Industry Awards. Our new Stand Range offers a real evolution in the way ground-level air conditioning units are supported, offering many advantages to both installer and customer, with simple installation and maintenance. We are thrilled to gain industry-recognition for this product.”

The new Stand Range is an off-the-shelf solution for ground-mounted air conditioning (AC) units. It is a lightweight solution that comes boxed and ready to use.

Big Foot Systems’ new ground mount support system caters for a wide variety of condensing units, with two ranges that suit mini splits and VRF/VRV condensing units. Available in a number of sizes, with extender kits and cross bar spacings that are adjustable to accommodate various unit sizes, the supports can be used both individually and in banks. 

The Stand Range offers anti-vibration mounts for mini splits and clamp kits for the VRF/VRV units. There are two height options available with corresponding extension and riser kits. Featuring slotted channel cross bars the Stand Range is compatible with industry standard fixings. Plus the slotted end plates on the cross bars allow continuous movement between end bar holes to suit numerous air conditioning units.

As a freestanding solution there is no requirement to secure the Stand Range to the floor or building. The Stand Range is suitable for both internal and external applications so end-users can utilise any space that is available. The lightweight system can also be easily moved once installed so end-users can utilise a temporary space until a more permanent space is available. The Stand Range is compact in size but maintains good load distribution through its Big Foot Feet, again making good use of space.

The support system is made with a Hot Dipped Galvanised (HDG) steel framework with 200mm feet, making it robust and secure. In addition, there is a tower system available for double decker banks of mini split cooling units, maximising the use of space for clients.
