Afternoon Lads
I was using my press today ,had the camera out so thought I would take a few snaps . The press is home shop build from salvaged parts .
Its about 4 1/2 ft tall and 25 tonne .

The hydraulic pack is make from a railway crossing barrier motor/pump , this is 440v so I added a cap so it will run on single phase , the motor only runs when the lever is operated , I made the tank , the valve block is from a forklift truck , it was a 5 slice valve block that I stripped and made it into a single .



Every 1000 psi is 5 tonne , the hose are fitted with quick connects so I can use it to power other things like my shop made rivet closer .


Basically a 6.3 tonne C clamp

that I was using to close 3/8 and 1/2 rivets
