    Heavy Item on Plaster Board Walls

    I have hooded dryers that need to go onto a salon wall. The salon walls are plasterboard as it is a small salon suite and the dryers are heavy. Are there any recommendations for something that will help make it more secure such as bolts etc that I can purchase. As the salon is very small (its the size of a small suite 2.7m x 3 m) I have no option but to mount the dryers on the wall as it will take up too much space as standing dryers. Thanks in advance.
