We're constantly launching new products here at HillCo, but some of them are a really BIG DEAL. This new product is one of those! It's the kind of thing we love around here; simple and affordable, but packs a big punch. 

Here's a fact: ANY extractor, no matter how well balanced it is, can and will wobble with a load of honey frames. No two frames of honey weigh the same, and no matter how hard you try to balance the frames, your extractor will likely wobble and shake when spinning. Often you aren't able to run your extractor up to full speed due to the wobble, which means longer extracting times and possibly getting less honey out of the combs, because you can't reach high enough speeds to sling all the honey out.

These spring feet will bolt to your extractor in minutes, but can save you hours of extracting time. Not only do they virtually eliminate the struggles of extractor wobble/vibration due to imbalanced honey frames, you'll also dramatically reduce extracting time by being able to ramp up to full speed almost immediately.

No more hanging on to your extractor for dear life, and NO NEED to bolt your machine to the floor! Whether you're extracting in your kitchen, garage, or honey house, our new Spring Feet Assemblies can stabilize your extractor quickly and easily, making your extracting process faster AND far more enjoyable.  

If your extractor has a single bolt hole in the leg foot, these spring assemblies should fit! They require a 5/16" hole (or close to that).

Our spring feet assemblies comes in three sizes:

  • Small size: fits 4 frame to 12 frame extractors - including our Enduro, E8, MiniMax, and Maxx12 extractor models

  • Medium size: fits 16 to 20 frame extractors - including our UltraMax, Maxx18, and Maxx21

  • Large size: fits 20-36 frame extractors - including our SuperMax, Maxx24, Maxx32, and Maxx36


Say goodbye to extractor wobble and shake, and hello to smoother extracting!  Contact us if you have questions about which size to get for your best experience.  Watch the video included below to learn how it works.

These things are a game changer

These things are a game changer....have to get past the fear of unbalance and crank it all the way up from the get go....5 seconds of wobble and boom smooth as silk and it really cuts time off the loading since you don'thave to worry about balancing light frames or slowly ramping up speed

Installed on my maxx32

Installed on my maxx32. Developed a wobble with no frames. Added one empty frame with no foundation. It shook right out of the rubber feet. Tried it with a full load. Scared the $&@?! Out me! No thanks!

Very helpful

The spring feet work well to control extractor wobble, and do allow for longer, smoother runs.

I wish they held together a little better. The springs aren't very secure in the feet or the metal cups. This isn't a problem when running the extractor, but if I pick it up or tilt it, they do sometimes fall off.

I question the "small" recommendation for a 12 frame extractor. They seem a little overmatched by mine.

Springs to life :)

I was a bit suspicious because I had read two very bad reviews, and many good ones. However, I can't thank HillCo enough. This is really a game changer.
