200L Oak Barrel With 304 Stainless Steel Hoops, 18mm Thickness, Forklift Entry
Product Spotlights
At Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, we are proud to present our premium 200L Oak Barrel with 304 Stainless Steel Hoops, a product that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering. Since 1998, we have been dedicated to manufacturing high-quality barrels that meet the rigorous demands of wineries, distilleries, and beverage producers worldwide. This 200-liter oak barrel features an 18mm thickness for optimal durability and flavor extraction, while the 304 stainless steel hoops ensure long-lasting structural integrity. The built-in forklift entry allows for easy handling and transportation, making it an ideal choice for industrial-scale aging processes.
Our barrels are crafted from carefully selected oak, sourced from sustainable forests, to provide the perfect balance of tannins and aromas for your wine or spirits. The 304 stainless steel hoops are corrosion-resistant and maintain tightness over time, preventing leakage and ensuring consistent performance. With an annual export value of US$5 million to US$10 million, we have supplied barrels to major markets across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. This product is a testament to our commitment to quality and reliability.
The 18mm thickness of the oak staves not only enhances the structural strength but also influences the aging process, allowing for a controlled oxygen transfer that develops complex flavors. The forklift entry feature, integrated into the barrel design, simplifies warehouse operations and reduces labor costs. Whether you are aging red wine, whiskey, or brandy, this barrel offers consistent results batch after batch.

Detailed Product Advantages
Enhanced Durability: The 18mm thick oak staves are thicker than standard barrels (typically 15mm), providing greater resistance to temperature fluctuations and physical impacts. This results in a longer service life and reduced risk of leakage.
Superior Hoop Design: 304 stainless steel hoops are chosen for their excellent corrosion resistance and strength. Unlike traditional iron hoops, they will not rust or stain the barrel, and they maintain consistent tension even in humid environments. The hoops are riveted for added security.
Forklift Entry for Efficient Logistics: The integrated forklift pockets are designed to distribute weight evenly, allowing safe lifting and stacking without damaging the barrel. This feature significantly reduces handling time and labor costs in warehouses and production facilities.
Flavor Development: The 18mm thickness allows for a slower, more controlled micro-oxygenation, which is crucial for developing complexity in wine and spirits. The oak imparts desirable vanillin, toast, and spice notes, enhancing the final product's character.
Customization Options: We offer various toasting levels, wood origins (American or European oak), and finishing options (natural, waxed, or oiled). Our team can work with you to create barrels that match your specific aging requirements.
