American Forge & Foundry 834 - 35 Ton Shop Press
If you're pressing bearings, pulling stubborn bushings, or straightening bent components day after day, you need a press that keeps pace without fighting you every cycle. The American Forge & Foundry 834 35 ton shop press is built for exactly that kind of work. It handles the heavy, repetitive jobs that wear through lighter equipment, and it does it without making every stroke feel like a manual effort.
The two-speed hand pump gets you down to the work fast. Once you're positioned, you switch to air/hydraulic mode and the press takes over. This american forge and foundry hydraulic press has load protection built right into the air circuit, so you're not guessing about your safe operating ceiling. The frame-mounted hydraulic pressure gauge gives you a real-time read on what's happening, positioned where you can actually see it while you work.
Seven winch-operated bed adjustment levels mean you can fit a wide range of workpieces without stacking improvised shims or repositioning the ram repeatedly. The 7-1/2" bed rail opening and 24" post opening give you solid clearance, and the 6-1/2" ram stroke covers the depth needed for most automotive and heavy-duty shop jobs. Sixty-six inches tall with a 30" base, this press earns its floor space.
American Forge & Foundry tools and equipment have been trusted in professional shops since 1963. When you're looking at shop presses in this class, the track record matters. Free shipping to the lower 48 is included with your order, and our team is available by phone if you have questions before you buy.

Installation & Setup
Air Supply Requirement
Running the AFF 834 in air/hydraulic mode requires a compressed air supply. That's how you get effortless operation and active load protection on every stroke. Without air, the two-speed hand pump still lets you operate the press manually, but you'll want air connected to run this machine the way it's intended. Standard shop air pressure is sufficient. Run your air line to the press before first use and confirm you have a clean, steady supply.
Placement and Floor Preparation
This press needs a level, stable concrete floor and enough open space to load and unload workpieces from multiple angles. At 66" tall and 312 lbs. shipping weight, you'll want a hand truck or forklift on hand when the unit arrives. Position it before your air line is connected, confirm it's stable on the floor, then hook up your air supply and you're ready to work.
Applications
The AFF 834 is a professional-grade hydraulic shop press built for automotive and heavy-duty industrial use. Here's where it earns its place in your shop:
Pressing bearings in and out and driving stubborn bushings are the bread-and-butter tasks this press is built around. Consistent, controlled force with a live pressure gauge means you're not over-pressing or guessing on delicate components.
Shafts, brackets, frames, and deformed metal components come back into spec under controlled press force. The winch-operated bed with seven positions gives you the flexibility to handle different shapes without reworking your setup between jobs.
Transmissions, differentials, and axle assemblies all involve gears that need to be pressed on or off. The 35 ton capacity handles the range of gear work that shows up in a busy automotive repair shop, including jobs where a lighter 30 ton shop press would fall short.
For sustained pressing work across automotive repair, fleet maintenance, or fabrication, this press delivers reliable performance without the cost or footprint of a 50 ton shop press that most shops simply don't need. American Forge & Foundry equipment is represented in over 300 service centers nationwide, with replacement parts available to back it up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AFF 834 require compressed air to operate?
Compressed air is required for the air/hydraulic mode, which delivers effortless operation and built-in load protection. Without air, you can still run the press manually using the two-speed hand pump. For full performance, connect a standard shop air supply before first use.
What is the ram stroke on the AFF 834, and is it enough for typical shop work?
The ram stroke is 6-1/2". For most bearing, bushing, and gear pressing tasks in an automotive or heavy-duty shop, that's more than adequate. Combined with seven winch-operated bed adjustment levels and a 24" post opening, you have plenty of range to handle workpieces of different heights without being limited to the stroke alone.
What does the 1 Year Limited Warranty cover?
The warranty covers defects in material and workmanship from the date of original purchase. If a defect is found during the warranty period, American Forge & Foundry will repair or replace the unit at no charge. Coverage does not apply to damage from overload, abuse, accident, or use with unauthorized attachments. Ship the unit prepaid with proof of purchase to AFF or an authorized service depot to initiate a claim.
Is shipping free, and how will the press be delivered?
Yes, shipping is free to any address in the contiguous lower 48 states. At 312 lbs., this press ships via freight carrier. Plan to have a hand truck or forklift available when the unit arrives so you can move it safely into position.
How many bed positions does the AFF 834 have, and how do you adjust them?
The press bed has seven adjustment levels and is winch-operated, so repositioning is easy without manually lifting heavy components. The 4-1/2" space interval between positions and the 7-1/2" bed rail opening give you the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of workpiece sizes and configurations.
