Uses for Counterweights

As cited by ASTM F2057-23, (STURDY Act), free standing clothing storage units, such as dressers, must be able to withstand 60 lbs without tipping over in order to protect children. Our durable counterweights are the perfect way to make sure your furniture is in accordance with the STURDY Act.

Benefits of Counterweights

Improved Stability

  • Making the device heavy is necessary as counter weights help the device to stay stable by handling spin cycle movements.
Innviromass Counterweights are eco-friendly, cheaper than steel and lead alternatives, and can prevent furniture from falling over and hurting people.

How to Use Innviromass?

To enhance tip-over resistance, counterweights are increasingly being incorporated into clothing storage units like dressers and chests. These counterweights can be added to the interior back panel near the bottom of the unit, maximizing their effect in lowering the center of gravity and reducing tipping risk. By strategically positioning these concentrated masses, manufacturers can significantly improve the stability and safety of clothing storage furniture.
