Hydraulic press – which one will your client choose?

You certainly know well how important it is for any equipment, to increase the efficiency of work – and thus save time and allow you to earn more. 

That is why your client should invest in a good hydraulic press. But… What kind of press? 

What to look for when choosing a hydraulic press?

Buying a hydraulic press is an investment that is sure to make work in the car service easier. What parameters should you consider before buying?

1. Capacity

The most important parameter is maximum capacity. Small car service may need models with a lifting capacity of 12-20 tons. However, if you deal with larger and more difficult parts (For example, you work on farm machinery), it is worth betting on a press with a capacity of 30-50 tons.

2. Type of operation – hydraulic or pneumatic?

Hydraulic presses operated manually are the classics – simple, reliable, precise. Hydraulic-pneumatic models, such as the REDATS H-380P, are an excellent choice when time and comfort are of the essence. Operation with the help of compressed air simply makes work faster. 

3. Dimensions of the press

It depends on how much space your client has in car service and the type of work he will be doing. Compact models, such as the REDATS H-300 (12T), will fit even in small car service. If your client has more space, it’s worth considering larger models with more capabilities (such as the H-370). 

4. Additional functions

Extras functional can significantly increase the comfort of work:

Foot pedal – allows your client to operate the press without using your hands, which is especially comfortable for precise tasks (such as REDATS H-370N).

Double pump – speeds up work by allowing precise control of the extension of the piston pushing on the workpiece.

Adjustable table height – makes it easy to adapt the press to different tasks.

Choosing the right model is all about matching it to the nature of your client work. 

REDATS model comparison – equip your car service

Choosing the right hydraulic press can seem difficult, because this is equipment that will stay with your client for years.

That’s why we’ve described our models to make your decision easier:

REDATS H-380P (30T, pneumatic)

The press has two pumps – a hydraulic pump and a pneumatic pump, which greatly improves its performance. The latter can be powered by air from a compressor.

REDATS H-380 (30T)

A classic model of 30-ton hydraulic press that will work well in most car service. 

REDATS H-370N (20T, with foot pedal)

Thanks to the foot pedal, working with this model is extremely comfortable and precise. Ideal for tasks that require precision, such as pressing small parts. 

REDATS H-370 (20T, with double pump)

Equipped with a double pump with fast and precise piston extension, it provides comfort and control. With its sturdy construction and 8-position table adjustment, it will perform well in everyday tasks such as straightening, bending and extruding.

REDATS H-320 (20T)

If space in your client car service is limited, the H-320 is a hit. A robust 20-ton press in a compact design that will fit anywhere, yet can handle most typical tasks.

REDATS H-300 (12T)

For those just starting out in the car service. The 12-ton capacity is enough for most basic jobs, such as pressing bearings or straightening small parts.
