Between the Rails and 8 in. of Stroke\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery shop press is sold on tonnage, and tonnage is rarely what decides whether the press does your job. The RP-20T has plenty of it — 20 ton, or 40,000 lbs (18,144 kg) of pressing force — but the two numbers to write down before you buy are the \u003cstrong\u003e18 in. (457 mm) inside width between the rails\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003e8 in. (203 mm) cylinder stroke\u003c\/strong\u003e. The first tells you what will physically pass between the uprights. The second tells you how far the ram travels before you have to stop, reposition the table, and start again.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThose two figures are the difference between pressing a wheel bearing out in one continuous stroke and pressing it out in three bites with a stack of spacers. They are printed further down this page because they matter more than the headline.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit Your Shop?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe RP-20T stands 59 in. (1,499 mm) tall and 23 in. (584 mm) wide, which puts it comfortably under a standard garage ceiling and lets it live against a wall rather than needing an island of floor. It is a floor-standing H-frame press, so what it needs from the building is simple: a flat, hard, level surface that will not let a leg settle. A press that stands on an uneven slab racks its frame slightly under load, and a racked frame is one that throws a pressed part sideways when it finally lets go.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGive yourself working room on both open sides. You need to be able to stand square to the work, swing a bar, and get out of the way — parts under press load release suddenly and travel. Eye protection and a face shield are not optional on this machine, and neither is keeping bystanders out of the plane of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is no electrical requirement. The RP-20T is hand-powered hydraulics, so it works in an unwired corner of a barn as readily as in a wired bay. Confirming that your floor and your clearances suit the machine is the buyer's responsibility, and both are easy to check with a tape measure and a spirit level before the crate arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow 20 Ton of Force Gets Made\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe pressing force comes from a 20 ton bottle jack driving down the centre of a heavy steel H-frame. A bottle jack is a self-contained hydraulic unit — reservoir, pump and ram in one body — and that self-containment is exactly why this design has outlived fancier ones on shop floors. There are no external hoses to chafe, no separate reservoir to knock over, and nothing about the hydraulics that a shop cannot understand at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForty thousand pounds is a great deal of force concentrated on a small area, and it is worth being blunt about what that means. It is enough to move a seized bearing race, a stubborn ball joint or a pressed-on gear. It is also enough to shatter hardened components without warning. Support the work properly on the arbor plates, keep the ram square to the part, and stop and rethink whenever the press starts asking for more than the job should reasonably need.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe Adjustable Table Is the Feature You Will Use Every Day\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe table moves vertically up and down the frame and pins in place at your chosen height. That is what makes a single stroke length work across wildly different jobs: bring the table up close for a small bushing so the ram meets the work almost immediately, drop it away for a long shaft or a spring so there is somewhere for the part to go.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSet the table so the ram contacts the work near the start of its travel. You get the full stroke as usable working travel, and you keep the ram at its shortest and stiffest extension when the load is highest — which is the position with the least tendency to deflect and skew the part off-axis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHeavy Steel Where It Counts\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe frame is heavy steel throughout. On a press, frame mass is not a marketing weight class — it is the whole safety argument. Under load, the uprights want to bow outward and the top beam wants to bend upward, and everything the press does depends on those deflections staying small and elastic. It is also why the RP-20T weighs 202 lbs (92 kg): that mass is the machine resisting itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo heavy-duty arbor plates come included. They are the pieces that let you straddle a gap and press a shaft through a hub without pressing the hub into the table, and buying a press without them means buying them separately the same week.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIndependent repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e pressing bearings, bushings, U-joints and races as routine work.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDriveline and suspension specialists\u003c\/strong\u003e where ball joints and control arm bushings come through daily.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFabrication and restoration shops\u003c\/strong\u003e bending, straightening and flattening as well as pressing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFleet and agricultural workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e that need serious force without a power supply at the machine.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWell-equipped home garages\u003c\/strong\u003e where a press is the tool that turns a two-day parts-store job into an afternoon.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRP-20T H-frame shop press with heavy steel construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e20 ton bottle jack \/ hydraulic pump unit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVertically adjustable table\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo heavy-duty arbor press plates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat is the manufacturer's stated content.

Say that plainly rather than hiding it: some insurers, corporate safety policies, vocational training programs and municipal shop inspections require independently listed equipment, and a shop press is the kind of high-energy machine those policies tend to name. If you are subject to a written equipment standard, read what it actually requires before you buy, and ask us if you need help matching the wording to what this machine offers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShipped as freight within the lower 48 states, free of charge. At 202 lbs (92 kg) in a crate 61 in. long, this is not a parcel — you or someone at the delivery address must be able to receive and unload it, or arrange to collect it from the carrier's terminal instead. Deliveries to a residential address carry an additional fee, shown before you pay. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect the crate before you sign. Note any damage, puncture or shifted load on the bill of lading at the moment of delivery, and photograph it while the driver is still there. Signing a clean bill and finding a bent upright afterwards makes a freight claim very hard to win, and a bent upright on a press is not something to straighten and use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRanger publishes its warranty for this product as a downloadable document. That document governs the coverage, so we do not paraphrase a term here — download it from the product page and read the exclusions if warranty length is part of your decision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you do need to claim, do not disassemble the press or the jack first. Opening a hydraulic unit to diagnose it yourself is the most common reason a legitimate claim is refused. Photograph the fault, keep the crate if the damage looks like it happened in transit, and contact us before you take anything apart.\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 id=\"kd-main-product-details-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-feature-continer kd-flex-row-2\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-feature-item kd-prouduct-feature-content\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdeal for pressing bearings, U-joints, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHydraulic pump unit for maximum performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdjustable table height\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavy steel construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes two heavy-duty press plates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\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 id=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\" 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.
