Hydraulic Press Rockforce RF-20005 — 20 t Capacity with Pressure Gauge

Hydraulic press Rockforce RF-20005 with 20 t capacity provides a compact, workshop-grade solution for pressing, bending, forming and assembly operations. The unit uses a manual hydraulic pump to develop up to 20 tonnes of compressive force and includes an integrated pressure gauge for accurate monitoring of applied pressure. Designed for garages and small industrial shops, this press supports routine automotive repairs, metalworking tasks and general maintenance that require controlled high force in a stable frame.

Advantages

The press features a sturdy steel frame and a hydraulic system engineered for consistent force delivery under load. An integrated pressure gauge allows the operator to track applied force precisely, improving repeatability and reducing the risk of overloading. Its hand-operated pump eliminates the need for electrical supply and simplifies installation and mobility within the workshop. The relatively compact footprint makes it suitable for bench or floor mounting while maintaining required working clearance for typical repair and fabrication tasks.

Suitable for

• Pressing and removing bearings, bushings and seals
• Bending and forming metal components
• Assembly and disassembly of pressed-fit parts in automotive repairs
• Straightening shafts, plates and small structural parts
• General workshop maintenance tasks requiring high compressive force

Key specifications

• Nominal pressing capacity: 20 tonne hydraulic force
• Operation: manual hand pump hydraulic system
• Pressure monitoring: built-in pressure gauge for real-time reading
• Frame construction: reinforced steel frame for stability under load
• Working area: adjustable press bed height (multiple positions)
• Mounting: bench or floor installation compatible with workshop setups

How to use

Position the workpiece on the press bed and select the appropriate support or tooling to ensure even load distribution. Set the bed height to the required level and align the ram with the component to be pressed. Operate the hand pump gradually while monitoring the pressure gauge to reach the desired force; apply pressure slowly to avoid sudden load spikes. After completing the operation, release hydraulic pressure according to the manufacturer’s valve procedure and remove the component when the ram has fully retracted.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate tooling and supports to prevent damage to the workpiece and press. Verify that the press bed and frame are free of debris and that hydraulic connections are secure before operation. Do not exceed the 20 t rated capacity; monitor the pressure gauge during operation and perform regular maintenance on seals and the pump to maintain safe, reliable performance.
