FAQS on central hydraulics 20 ton shop press

Q: What are the key differences between Central Hydraulics 6 ton, 12 ton, and 20 ton shop presses?

A: Yes, it’s ideal for pressing out bearings, bushings, or u-joints in vehicles. Its high capacity ensures it can manage stubborn components. Always follow safety guidelines to avoid overloading.

Q: Are replacement hydraulic pumps available for Central Hydraulics shop presses?

A: Yes, compatible pumps are sold separately for all models (6/12/20 ton). Ensure the pump’s pressure rating matches your press. Check manufacturer specifications for proper compatibility.

Q: How do I maintain a Central Hydraulics 20 ton shop press?

A: Regularly inspect hydraulic fluid levels and hoses for leaks. Lubricate moving parts like the ram and frame joints. Store in a dry area to prevent rust and corrosion.
