WesFab Stand - what's the point?

I just bought a full bank 7" filter press. What is the point of the stand? Why does it pivot? What are the benefits? Thanks!

The stand does a couple of things. 1st it gets it up where it is easy to work with. Second it it makes it easy to move, just push it to where it needs to be. It pivots so it is easier to put the plates and papers on. Stands up straighter so gravity holds everything in place. If cash is tight you can live without one but it makes live easier.
