AUGMENTS THE CAPACITY OF YOUR BARREL CELLAR :

  • Storing barrels up to 7 levels high, without unutilized space -> 3500 fit in a 100’ x 100’ cellar.
  • Cleaning and handling without removal from the stack -> Elimination of barrel emptying areas and cleaning rooms in the cellar.
  • Catwalks for handling all barrels up to 5 levels by hand, without usage of additional handling equipment -> Maximum reduction in aisle width.
  • Modular system -> Heights and widths of your system can change with your needs.

 

REDUCES YOUR OPERATING COSTS AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT :

  • Install, align, and remove barrels in the stack with only one person. Fill, top, stir lees, rack, clean, and taste each barrel without moving the stack. -> Significant reduction in working time.
  • Barrel cleaning areas in the cellar are eliminated, maximizing usage of your cellar -> square footage.
  • Reduces required cellar size, resulting in capital investment savings Barrels are not under pressure from the weight of the stack -> Maintains good condition of barrel for continued use or sale.

 

ASSISTS IN THE ENHANCEMENT OF QUALITY IN YOUR WINES :

  • Reduced usage of forklifts (propane), and pressure treated wood rails -> Elimination of pollutants.
  • Easy barrel rotation by only one person -> More frequent lees stirring, without opening the barrel resulting in less oxygen uptake and necessary sulfite additions. Simplified “bung on the side” aging.
  • Completely sanitary and easy drip drying using stainless steel pan -> Maximum barrel storage density in your cellar square footage area More barrels equals greater thermal mass, resulting in less abrupt changes in cellar temperature.
