4-Frame Hand Extractor Kit

Detailed Feature Breakdown

Tangential Extractor Design:
This is a tangential hand extractor 4 frame, meaning frames are positioned with one side facing outward. Honey is extracted from one side first, then frames must be turned to extract the second side . Shallow frames can be turned within the basket, while deep frames must be lifted out for reversal . While this requires more steps than radial extraction, tangential designs are typically more affordable and perfectly suitable for hobbyist operations  productive beekeeping

Durable Construction:

• All-welded food-grade stainless steel tank ensures longevity and food safety

• Stainless steel wire basket provides large open area for honey to flow freely

• Nylon gears operate quietly and resist wear

• No paint to chip or plating to peel—all food-safe materials throughout

Convenient Leg Design of hand extractor 4 frame:
The removeable legs attach easily with supplied bolts to leg brackets pre-installed on the extractor tank . This design provides 16″ of clearance from floor to bottom of honey gate, allowing ample space for a standard 5-gallon bucket . Legs can be removed for compact storage when not in use.

Multi-Purpose Design:
All internal components slip out easily to convert the extractor into a 300-pound honey storage unit during the off-season . This thoughtful design maximizes value and utility.
