Downward-Pressure
Wringers
FEATURES
BENEFITS
1. Epoxy-coated steel construction*
Strong and durable – outlasts plastic
2. Downward-pressure design
Works with gravity for easier, faster mop wringing
No splash or overflow
Prolongs mop life-no twisting of mop head needed
3. Dark Brown and white surface of epoxy
powder coated over zinc electroplating
Provides extended corrosion protection
Resists cleaning agents like quats, phenolics,
strippers and degreasers
4. Solid-steel gear shaft*
Will not bend or break
5. Steel bushings where shaft
enters side plates*
Superior durability
6. Return spring located outside of bucket*
Less likely to corrode
7. Malleable iron one-piece pressure bars*
Stronger, more durable than other materials
8. Pressure-fit handle*
Will not loosen; no nuts or bolts
9. Double, staggered-tooth metal gears
Eliminates slipping
10. Reinforce basket bottom on
larger models*
Prevents distortion of basket
11. Welded basket construction
No bolts or rivets to loosen

Specifications
Geerpres® Fact Finder
Description: All-metal, downward-pressure type,
constructed with interlocking rack and round gears.
Material:
Corrosion resistant epoxy coating over zinc electroplated steel, (Knight - 18 gauge,
Prince & King – 20 gauge) or heavier throughout with 11-gauge steel reinforcing bar
welded to basket bottom on 1011 and 1016 models.
Pressure bars: One-piece annealed malleable iron.
Gear shaft:
Solid cold-rolled steel, supported with stainless steel bushings at wringer side plates.
Handle:
Heavy-gauge electroplated steel tubing, pressure fit into a resistance-welded
steel nipple.
Handgrip:
Cushioned vinyl.
Capacity:
#1022 - 8-16 oz.; #1011 - 16-24 oz.; #1016 - 24-36 oz.
Net Weight: #1022 – 9 lbs; #1011 – 15 lbs.; #1016 – 17 lbs.
Competitive Comparison
Plastic structural foam models
Continental & Rubbermaid
• Bulky-leaves less room in bucket for
maneuvering mop.
• Porous plastic bodies are highly
vulnerable to staining and abrasion
• Rubbermaid models have hollow gear shafts:
subject to distortion and eventual failure.
• Plastic gears not as strong as steel.
• Pressure bars drilled and held in place by
separate screws and washers.
• Thin, steel tie rods hold entire wringer
together-subject to corrosion and breakage.
Metal Models- White & Continental
• White models have hollow gear shafts; subject to
distortion and eventual failure.
• Non-reinforce baskets on White models can distort
from force of wringing action.
• Clumsy mechanical linkages on some White models
are inefficient, hard to use and failure-prone.
• Absence of bushings where gear shaft enters side
plates can result in excessive wear.
• Pressure bars on Continental models are made from
standard steel plate – not as strong as malleable iron.
Continental pressure bars collect water, splashing on
floor and operator when handle is released.
• White models are 25% heavier, making wringer
difficult to handle.
