The Ohaus CLR-STRODS058 Support Stand is made entirely of 303 stainless steel. The CLRSTRODS058 has a durable base that can accommodate vessels up to 18" (457 mm) in diameter within the "U". The base area is 17.75" (451 mm) across x 10.5" (267 mm) deep overall. The stainless steel support rod is 0.63" (16 mm) in diameter and is screwed to the support base. Two additional threaded holes in the base legs accommodate rods, enabling the stand to support two mixers. The "U" shape of the base should be turned from the mixing apparatus when the two outside rods are in use. This balances the weight, preventing the base from tipping.
