Reddit reviews 10 tons 2" Stroke Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder Lifting Jack Ram YG-1050

Just an x machine shop foreman messing around on my hobby time. If you want a custom machine and don’t want to pay upwards of $1000 contact me and we’ll talk. This unit runs $300-$550 and can handle 3”x3” -4”x6”. This can be used with a harbor freight 8 ton bottle jack or can be simply swapped for a cylinder and hydraulic hand pump. This unit your looking at is a 2.75”x3” platen setup for a 8 ton bottle. And is $300 + shipping to US states only. This is the smallest platen design I have.

There are many options and all of my presses are designed to be enjoyable to operate and maximize yields without overworking your hydraulics.


Or you could do all the work and build this press ground up with a few dimensions. I will give dimensions if you need. Just dm as it’s easier to keep track of builds.
