Rock-Solid Hydraulic Shop Presses
Ranger's industrial shop presses offer professional-grade hydraulic force, whether you're at the shop or in your own garage. Among other operations, all Ranger hydraulic presses are ideal for the removal and installation of gears, bushings and bearings—so you can bend, straighten, flatten, crush, press, shape, push, pull, lift and spread like you were born doing it. Choose from two standing shop press models, the RP-20T or RP-20HD.
The RP-20T is a rock-solid hydraulic press designed to withstand even the heaviest abuse. 20 tons of staggering pressure is delivered via a robust bottle jack onto a convenient, vertically-adjustable press table. This entire unit is mounted on a time-tested, extremely sturdy H-frame for reliable pressing operation every time.
