On a press with a fixed cylinder, lining the ram up with the work means moving the work — unclamping it, shifting the supports, re-checking that everything is square, and doing it again when it is a millimetre out. With a laterally adjustable cylinder you leave the workpiece where it sits and bring the ram to it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat is a difference measured in setups per day rather than tons of force, and it is why this press is faster to use than its rating suggests. Anyone who has tried to press a bearing out of an awkwardly shaped housing while balancing it on two lengths of bar will recognise the problem immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Two-Stage Pump\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second design decision worth understanding is the two-stage hydraulic pump. A single-stage pump gives you one relationship between handle strokes and ram travel, and it has to be geared for force, which means the ram crawls the whole way down to the workpiece. Two stages split that: a fast, low-force stage closes the gap between ram and work in a handful of strokes, then the high-force stage takes over for the press itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat that saves is dead time. On a job where the ram has to travel several inches to reach the work and then move a fraction of an inch under load, the fast stage does the travelling and the slow stage does the pressing. It also makes fine control easier, because when the pump switches to the force stage each stroke moves the ram a small, predictable amount — which is what you want when you are seating a bushing rather than destroying one.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eReading the Gauge\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA 4\" diameter pressure gauge is built in, reading up to 20 tons. On a press, the gauge is not a nicety. Pressing operations have specified forces — a bearing that should seat at a certain load and does not is telling you something is misaligned or the bore is wrong, and the only way to hear that message is to watch the number rise. A 4\" face is large enough to read from a working stance rather than requiring you to lean into the frame while it is loaded, which is exactly where you do not want your head.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe press stands 60.25\" tall and 37\" wide, on a base of 27.25\" x 26\". The working aperture is 24\" between the rails, which is the number that decides whether a given part will actually go in — measure the widest thing you intend to press, not its diameter. Table height adjusts from 7.5\" to 36.25\", so the bolster can be set close under the ram for small work or dropped for a tall assembly, and the cylinder stroke is 5.5\".\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat 5.5\" stroke is worth planning around. It is the total travel available in one pass, so on a deep press the table is repositioned to bring the work back into range rather than expecting the ram to reach. Shipping weight is 274 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCustomer responsibility: a press stores an enormous amount of energy in a component immediately before that component lets go. Use a shield or a press guard, wear eye protection, keep bystanders clear of both sides, and never stand in line with the work. Nothing in the design of any press removes that obligation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrame and Table\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe frame is heavy-duty steel, built so that the rails do not spread and the head does not deflect under load — a press that flexes wastes ram travel and, worse, lets the work move out of line under force. The table height is pin-adjustable through its range so it can be reset without dismantling anything, and two heavy-duty press plates are supplied for supporting the work across the rails.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomotive repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e doing bearings, bushings, ball joints, U-joints and pulleys as routine work. \u003cstrong\u003eMachine and fabrication shops\u003c\/strong\u003e needing controlled force with a readable gauge. \u003cstrong\u003eFleet and agricultural workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e where a press failure means outsourcing a job and losing a day. \u003cstrong\u003eCommitted home and restoration garages\u003c\/strong\u003e with the floor space and the discipline to use a press safely.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe press ships with its steel frame, the two-stage hydraulic pump and laterally moving cylinder, the built-in 4\" gauge, the height-adjustable table, and two heavy-duty press plates.

Presses in a commercial workplace are commonly covered by the employer's own guarding, inspection and safe-operating-procedure requirements rather than by a product listing, and some insurers require a fitted guard or shield before a press may be used. Check what your policy or your local jurisdiction expects before the press goes into service.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShips by freight to the lower 48 states. Freight delivery is kerbside or to a dock, not inside the building, so you need to unload the pallet yourself or arrange terminal collection. Residential delivery carries a residential fee, quoted live at checkout with the freight. Inspect before you sign — a bent rail or a damaged cylinder is the kind of thing that must be recorded on the bill of lading at delivery, because once a clean bill is signed the claim becomes very hard to make.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRanger publishes a warranty statement covering its products and it governs this press. This listing states no term, so none is quoted here — ask us and we will send the current statement before you order. If the pump or the cylinder gives trouble, contact us first and leave the hydraulics intact. Opening a cylinder before a claim is assessed is the surest way to lose it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-spec-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-spec-item\"\u003e \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e40,000 lbs.
