BEST ANSWER:The diameter of the ring is about the same as the diameter of a half-barrel keg, so around 16-1/8". The height is right around 6". (I'm not at the brewery today, so this if from memory and is definitely approximate.)

Cleaning and sanitizing your sanke kegs just got a lot easier. I put this on the depressurized keg, flip it over with the ring stand straddling a catch basin containing a powerful sump pump forcing water, cleaning solution, sanitizer, whatever up through the keg and back into the basin. A fine mesh bag around the sump's input keeps the gunk from getting back into the keg. The pump does the work while I plan my next brew. This thing is awfully pricey and admit I pulled it out of my shopping cart a few times before buying. No regrets on the purchase now, though.
I would recommend for small volume occasional use. We use it in our brewpub brewery for managing one- off kegs. We did adapt the GHF to accept a tri clover flange so we could use a pump. Definitely better than using a keg filler.
