Manual Hydraulic Wine Press with Wooden Basket Ø50-80 cm

The hydraulic wine press with a wooden basket is designed for wineries, agricultural producers and artisan winemakers who need to press grapes and grape pomace with greater mechanical force and less physical effort.

Unlike a traditional ratchet press, this model uses a manually operated hydraulic jack to apply powerful, steady pressure during pressing. It is a practical solution for producers handling larger batches who want a controlled pressing process without switching to a motorised machine.

Handcrafted in Italy, the press features a reinforced pressed-steel collection tray, a threaded screw, a beechwood basket and a hydraulic jack operated by a manual lever. Painted metal components are finished with non-toxic coatings suitable for food-contact applications.

Five basket diameters are available, from Ø50 to Ø80 cm, with approximate grape pomace capacities ranging from 125 to 475 kg per load.

Why choose a manual hydraulic grape press?

• Reduced physical effort: the hydraulic jack applies pressing force with less manual effort than a traditional mechanical ratchet press.
• Controlled pressure: the hydraulic mechanism allows pressure to be applied progressively to the grape pomace.
• Five available sizes: choose the basket diameter and capacity that suit your production requirements.
• Traditional wooden basket: a beechwood cage with reinforced construction and secure side closures.
• Manual hydraulic operation: the jack is operated using a lever, without requiring an electric motor.
• Italian craftsmanship: a traditionally manufactured press supplied with its hydraulic jack, pressing components and winemaking-grade mineral oil.

Technical features and construction

The hydraulic basket press combines a traditional wooden cage with a hydraulic pressing mechanism and a reinforced metal structure.

• Collection tray: reinforced pressed steel.
• Basket: beechwood staves with three horizontal hoops and through-bolts.
• Basket closure: side locking keys.
• Central mechanism: threaded screw and manually operated hydraulic jack.
• Hydraulic operation: jack supplied with its operating lever.
• Included pressing components: 6 pressing blocks, 2 half-moon plates and 2 collars.
• Included oil: winemaking-grade mineral oil (vaseline oil).
• Metal finishing: non-toxic coatings suitable for food-contact applications.
• Manufacture: handcrafted in Italy.
• Warranty: 2 years.

Available hydraulic wine press sizes and capacities

The press is available in five sizes, allowing you to select a model according to the amount of grape pomace processed per batch and the space available in your winery.

All weights and pomace capacities are approximate. Pomace capacity refers to the material loaded into the basket, not to an hourly processing rate. As this is a handcrafted product, slight variations in dimensions and minor cosmetic imperfections may occur.

Which hydraulic grape press size should you choose?

The appropriate size depends on your pressing volume, the quantity of pomace to be handled per batch and the available working space.

• Ø50 and Ø55 cm: suitable for smaller winery operations and producers requiring approximate capacities of 125–165 kg of pomace per load.
• Ø60 cm: an intermediate option with an approximate pomace capacity of 213 kg.
• Ø70 and Ø80 cm: intended for larger pressing requirements, with approximate capacities of 315 and 475 kg respectively.

Before selecting a model, compare the basket capacity with your expected batch size. Also consider the overall height and the weight of the press, particularly if it will need to be repositioned within the winery.

How does the hydraulic pressing system work?

The press uses a manually operated hydraulic jack to generate the force required to compress the grapes or pomace inside the wooden basket.

The threaded screw, pressing components and hydraulic mechanism work together to transfer pressure to the material being processed. The extracted liquid drains through the basket into the collection tray.

Compared with a conventional lever-and-ratchet wine press, the hydraulic system reduces the physical effort needed to apply substantial pressure.

This model is manually operated and should not be confused with electrically powered vertical hydraulic presses.

Included equipment

The hydraulic wine press is supplied with the following components:

• 6 pressing blocks;
• 2 half-moon pressing plates;
• 2 collars;
• Hydraulic jack;
• Hydraulic jack operating lever;
• Winemaking-grade mineral oil (vaseline oil).

The hydraulic jack and the listed pressing components are included with the machine.

Optional trolley for easier movement

An optional trolley is available for this hydraulic grape press.

The trolley helps reposition the machine within the working area, which can be particularly useful when handling the larger and heavier models.

The trolley is an optional accessory and is not included in the standard equipment. Select it separately when configuring your order.

Manual hydraulic press vs traditional ratchet wine press

Both systems are suitable for grape pressing, but they apply pressure differently.

A hydraulic wine press uses a hydraulic jack operated by a lever. It is intended for producers who want to apply greater pressing force with reduced physical effort, particularly when processing larger quantities of pomace.

A traditional ratchet wine press uses a mechanical ratchet and central screw. It offers a simpler pressing system and is available in smaller basket sizes for home winemaking and limited production.

If you prefer a traditional mechanical model, compare this product with our manual grape press with ratchet lever, available in basket diameters from Ø15 to Ø80 cm.

New or used hydraulic wine press: what should you check?

If you are considering a used hydraulic grape press, inspect the hydraulic jack, threaded screw, wooden basket, collection tray, half-moon plates and side closures.

The condition of these components is important when evaluating a second-hand machine. Check for visible damage, wear and missing pressing parts before making a purchasing decision.

With a new AgriStore hydraulic wine press, you receive the specified equipment, declared dimensions and a 2-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Does this hydraulic wine press require electricity?

No. The hydraulic jack is operated manually using the supplied lever. The press does not require an electric motor for its pressing operation.

What is the capacity of the hydraulic grape press?

Capacity depends on the selected basket diameter. The Ø50 cm model holds approximately 125 kg of grape pomace, while the Ø80 cm model holds approximately 475 kg. The complete range includes five sizes.

Is the hydraulic jack included?

Yes. The hydraulic jack and its operating lever are included, together with the pressing blocks, half-moon plates, collars and winemaking-grade mineral oil.

Is the trolley included in the price?

No. The trolley is an optional accessory and must be selected separately when configuring the product.

What material is the pressing basket made from?

The basket is made from beechwood staves, reinforced by three horizontal hoops and through-bolts. Side keys are used to close the basket.

What warranty is provided?

The hydraulic grape press comes with a 2-year warranty.

Need help choosing your hydraulic wine press?

Choosing the correct model depends on the quantity of grape pomace to be processed, available working space and your preferred pressing system.
