The new 12-ton C-frame is the latest in our long line of superior quality hydraulic presses. Many shops have requested this lighter, smaller press, perfect for a wide range of jobs.

Like our other C-frame presses, it comes with a large array of features that are standard. These include:

  • Speed reversal switch
  • Jog mode for easy setups

Like others in the line, the 12-ton C-frame prress comes with dual controls. You have two options:

  • Foot pedal
  • OR moveable pedestal with dual electric palm buttons and extra emergency stop. It makes it simple to adjust the height for comfort and ease of operation.
