hydraulic presses

Liquid-pressure metal shapers

A hydraulic press is a machine that uses fluid pressure to generate compressive force.

A small force applied to a piston in a narrow cylinder creates enormous pressure transmitted through fluid to a larger piston, multiplying the force dramatically.

Hydraulic presses shape metal, crush cars, form plastics, and compress materials in manufacturing.

They range from handheld tools to industrial machines generating thousands of tons of force.
