Product Description
Hydraulic Shop Press
Capacity:
- GT-SHP12: 12 Ton
- GT-SHP20: 20 Ton
The shop press uses either manual operation or it can be connected to an air compressor to use as a hydraulic press with increased speed and efficiency while decreasing operator fatigue. This is the ideal hydraulic press to have for large metal shaping jobs in any machinist shop or auto body garage.
Engineered for Professional DemandsCrafted with an H-frame structure and heavy-duty steel, this hydraulic shop press is designed to endure continuous use in demanding settings. Its powder-coated finish protects against wear and corrosion, making it suitable for both industrial and commercial environments. The adjustable bed and large working height accommodate a wide range of applications, from bending thick metal sheets to straightening shafts with precision.
Safety, Versatility, and Ease of OperationSafety takes precedence with features like the overload protection valve and manual lever control. Operators can easily adjust the bed position to suit different workpieces, while the variable lowering speedcontrolled by a valveensures precision and safety during operation. With its manual hydraulic power source, the press can be deployed anywhere, without the need for electrical motors, ensuring flexible workflow arrangements.
FAQs of Hydraulic Shop Press:
Q: How does the overload protection valve enhance operator safety during use?
A: The overload protection valve automatically prevents the hydraulic system from exceeding its pressure capacity, ensuring safe operation and safeguarding both the user and the machine from potential damage caused by overloading.
Q: What types of metalworking tasks can this hydraulic shop press perform?
A: This press is engineered for pressing, bending, and straightening various metalwork components. Its adjustable bed and 20-ton capacity accommodate a broad spectrum of tasks in workshops, garages, and industrial applications.
Q: When would I use the multi-position adjustable bed feature?
A: The multi-position adjustable bed allows you to easily change the worktable height to suit different workpiece sizes and tasks, providing enhanced flexibility and convenience during pressing or forming operations.
Q: Where can this hydraulic shop press be effectively utilized?
A: Its robust design and manual power source make it ideal for workshops, garages, and industrial environments where mobility and reliability are crucial. Optional wheels are available for models requiring frequent relocation.
Q: What is the process for operating the manual hydraulic system?
A: Simply use the manual lever to activate the single-acting hydraulic cylinder. The ram advances with each lever stroke, applying force up to 20 tons for pressing or bending. The lowering speed is variable and controlled via a valve release, ensuring precise operation.
Q: What are the benefits of a single-acting hydraulic cylinder and manual operation?
A: The single-acting design simplifies maintenance, while manual operation eliminates the need for a motor or external power, making the press more versatile, energy-efficient, and suitable for locations without electrical infrastructure.
