Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this press come with a gauge?
Yes, the unit features an integrated pressure gauge to monitor force during operation.
Can this be used manually?
Yes, it is designed for both pneumatic-assisted operation and manual hydraulic pumping.
What is the primary power source?
The press operates on a hydraulic system, which can be powered manually via the handle or pneumatically via an external air compressor.
Is it suitable for hobbyist garages?
While effective, it is built for professional and industrial environments; ensure your floor is rated to support the weight and pressure of the equipment.
How often should the hydraulic fluid be checked?
Perform a fluid check during your routine monthly equipment inspection.
Troubleshooting
The press is not reaching full 20-tonne pressure
Check hydraulic fluid levels and ensure the system is properly bled of trapped air.
Pneumatic assist is not activating
Check the air supply connection and verify that the air compressor is outputting the recommended minimum pressure.
Ram does not retract after operation
Ensure the release valve is fully open and inspect the return springs for any obstruction or damage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Reduces operator effort through pneumatic assistance
High 20-tonne pressing capacity for heavy-duty tasks
Sturdy construction ensures long-term durability in workshops
Compact design saves floor space in professional environments
Cons
Requires an external air compressor for pneumatic features
Heavy unit requires a stable, level concrete surface for safe operation
Professional-grade assembly may require two people to safely maneuver
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Ensure the unit is installed on a flat, level concrete surface. Bolt the frame to the floor using the integrated mounting holes for maximum stability.
Air Connection: Connect to an air compressor line that meets the unit's required PSI specifications to utilize the pneumatic pump.
Maintenance: Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and inspect hoses for signs of wear or leaks. Ensure all pivot points and the ram are kept clean and free of debris to prevent premature seal wear.
Calibration: Periodically test the press pressure gauge to ensure accurate force readings during operation.
