50 Ton Hydraulic Shop Press

Comments about Central Hydraulics 50 Ton Hydraulic Shop Press:

We use it everyday..all day.. in my mechanical & fabrication shop. My shop repairs & overhauls heavy equipment,farm machinery,trucks,boats..etc.
We also do custom welding and manufacture of almost anything,as well as custom manufacture trailers up to 32 ft long( livestock,flat decks & van bodies,goose necks,5th wheels)

The only real minor problem with it is that seals start to weap above 30T range of pressure.
The press work very well for us and is easy to use.

We have used two of these presses in my manufacturing shop. We made special fixtures for punching, bending, and flattening steel parts. This is heavy use. We have had to replace the pressure gauge on the press we punch parts with, and the air motor had a little problem, but we are using these presses hard and they are holding up. Parts came promptly and were priced low. If a seal fails, you can buy the entire part pretty cheaply, so do that instead of buying some seals and repairing it yourself. We have had no problems with seals despite heavy use.

Worked fine at low pressure. When tried to use it at higher pressures the cyl. seals failed. When I called to order the replacement seals I was told that they would have to come from the manufacturer. 6-8 weeks! As of this writing, it has been 2 months. I called again to check on the order and they said another 2-3 weeks.
So I don't think it's reliable or maintainable.
