when the washer spins are the pedestals strong enough to handle the vibration? is there any issue with this?

I made something similar, and the concrete floor they are on means they shuffle around a little bit. Occasionally they will get close to each other and start making a lot of noise. I think I just need to put something soft (like carpet squares) underneath to dampen that energy.

The heavy weight of the pedestal gives it a strong base. I don't hear any vibration on the pedestal when the washer starts the spin cycle. Its as if it was on hard floor. Hope that helps.

Did you try to screw your pedestals to the washer ?
The pedestal you can buy are normally screwed at the bottom of the washer.
