The #40 Ratchet Press is an Italian-made ratchet press that has an 17 gallon capacity. The "Old World" design comes with a hardwood basket, double ratchet and steel basin. The ratcheting action allows greater pressure to be applied to the grapes for an easier, more efficient press, saving you time and energy over the standard style presses. When you are done pressing just wash it off with a hose. The equipment will ship when it arrives in early July.
<b>Basket Dimensions:</b>
Diameter: 16"
Height: 22"
<b>Note:</b>These presses make a long journey to America and as such, sometimes arrive with the odd scratch or scratches in the paint. This is unavoidable, but it is no cause for concern. Treat the scratches as you would the other exposed metal parts of the press. Never store wet and apply a light coat of mineral oil.
<b>Note:</b> Some Italian products may be in short supply when grape harvest starts in September.
