Hydraulic Presses

RK Machinery manufactures hydraulic press machines such as H Frame Presses and C Frame Presses. Our hydraulic machines have all the features to satisfy skilled operators, yet are simple enough for the inexperienced hydraulic shop press operators. Using a hydraulic cylinder to produce a compressive force, the hydraulic press, was also known as the Bramah press after its inventor, Englishman, Joseph Bramah. The hydraulic press relies on Pascal’s principle which states that pressure within a closed system is constant. At RK Machinery, we will custom build hydraulic presses according to your specifications therefore ensuring that the H Frame Press or C Frame Press that you purchase will meet your exact needs and specifications.

H Frame Press
Our H Frame Presses are available in multiple models ranging from 20 tons to 350 tons; certain models are available in extra wide. Our H Frame Presses come with unique standard features such as.

A low pressure hydraulic system which maintains lower oil temperatures, resulting in higher efficiency and safer operation.
Large bore cylinders averaging 3,800 P.S.I. maximum pressure throughout our complete line of H Frame Presses. Working at a lower pressure means less heat and with higher efficiency and most important of all much less risk of liability issues. Most other manufacturers use small bore cylinders at 700 bar equal to 10,152 P.S.I. operating pressure. All our hydraulic and mechanical parts are standard in the industry and available throughout North America.

Forklift Tire Press
This hydraulic forklift tire press is the only one you will be required to purchase. Thanks to the superior craftsmanship of RK Machinery, this industrial tire press is extremely well built and it is sure to work for you for many years to come.

Built with the operator’s safety in mind, the low pressure hydraulic system maintains lower oil temperatures which ensure the safety of the operator at all times. The cylinder activation of this forklift tire press can be easily controlled: the more the lever is engaged, the more the ram movement is accelerated. This gives the operator more control over the operation speed of the press.
