JD4 Hercules professional ham stand

The JD4 ham stand is a product conceived, designed and manufactured as the ultimate tool for the professional ham carver.

More than three years went into the R&D process, involving renowned professionals from the ham and catering sectors, who contributed countless details and nuances to create a product perfect for the professional.

The semi-artisanal manufacture, in which the parts are made one by one, allows for exceptional quality control and guarantees that the stand leaving the factory meets all the demanding parameters set out in its development.

The materials are of high quality and chosen to deliver maximum performance with almost no maintenance.

Manufacture, thanks to this semi-artisanal element, is entirely versatile, allowing the stands to be customised for any project and in any element.

The manufacturing team has proven experience in precision parts.

The Hercules ham stand by JD4, as it dismantles completely, makes thorough cleaning of the stand easy in very little time after use.

The weight, firmness, clamping and precision make this stand an essential tool for very high-quality work.

Features:

Materials:

The main material used is 304 stainless steel for all the metal parts and food-grade polyethylene for the cradle at the lower part of the arm. The stainless steel is given a matt finish, having established that for a public presentation it is much cleaner, as no grease marks or visible fingerprints are left by a touch or by holding it with the hand.

For the various bases that can be fitted there are several options: stainless steel, wood, granite, Silestone and any other requested by the end user.

Stand base:

As this element is fundamental to the stability of the stand, great emphasis has been placed on the weight, dimensions and anchoring of the upper part. Solidity is a factor that reaches this fundamental part of the stand, so its design and features have been carefully considered from the outset in order to combine materials without losing any of its qualities.

Clamping head:

Using the knob on the clamping head, we can adjust the ham stand to the size of ham desired. The ham can be positioned vertically, as the stand's robust design guarantees its stability during carving.

Top fixing:

A stainless steel clamping knob that allows the ham to be fixed at three points, thus preventing it from moving while we handle the piece

Cleaning:

As an important factor to bear in mind, the design and manufacture use components with no crevices and no materials that could rust or hide dirt. Its ease of cleaning guarantees maximum hygiene with regular use of the stand. It dismantles completely and is made from stainless steel with a matt finish. The bases are made from smooth surfaces of food-industry-safe materials.

Maintenance is extremely simple since, being steel, it can be washed with soap and water and can go in the dishwasher. The advantage of matt steel is that grease marks are not visible during use, so at the end of service the appearance of cleanliness is impeccable.

The parts that may wear, such as the head threads, the arm cradle and so on, can be replaced quickly and at very low cost. These are the parts used most often, on a daily basis. In any case, the working life of these elements is enormous, withstanding daily work for years, as they are high-performance parts.

The removable parts are dishwasher safe, making daily cleaning easier and guaranteeing complete hygiene in daily service.

An important feature of the JD4® professional ham stand is the quick removal of the arm, so that in an instant, with a single gesture, it dismantles and can be put away.

Durability:

Owing to its construction, it is a very sturdy stand, designed to last a long time in perfect condition without showing any sign of wear. The materials are chosen so that the strength, solidity and appearance are permanent.

It also carries the official two-year guarantee, during which any unlikely defect would be resolved immediately.
