50 Ton Shop Press for Jobs a Bottle Jack Can't Touch

You're breaking a seized bearing race free from a housing, or pressing a new bushing into place without cracking it. A hand-pump bottle jack fights you the whole way. The Norco 78057A 50 ton shop press doesn't. Step on the foot pump and the air/hydraulic system builds ram force fast, so you're not standing there cranking a handle while the clock runs on a bay you need back.

This shop press 50 ton unit ships welded, fully assembled, and tested. No bolting a frame together in your bay before you can use it. The self-retracting ram is bearing mounted and slides laterally along the head channel, so you can line up off-center work without repositioning the whole part underneath it. A hand-operated winch raises and lowers the bed itself, which matters when you're working a range of part heights in the same shift and don't want to shim and re-shim every time.

The liquid-filled gauge reads ram force in both pounds and tons, so you know exactly how much force you're putting into a press fit instead of guessing by feel. A built-in safety overload system protects the power unit if you push past what the press is rated for. Between the 34.5" throat width and the 6.25" of ram travel, this Norco 78057A handles the kind of heavy truck and industrial work that smaller presses simply can't take on.

Applications

Truck and heavy equipment repair

The wide throat and tall clearance handle bearing races, U-joints, and bushings on trucks and heavy equipment that smaller shop presses can't accommodate.

Industrial workshops

Built for shops running press jobs daily. The foot pump and winch keep you moving between parts without wearing yourself out on a hand pump.

Bearing and bushing work

Pressing races and bushings in or out cleanly, without the guesswork of a hand jack that loses force partway through the stroke.

Gear and shaft assembly

The liquid-filled gauge lets you dial in exact force for interference fits instead of pressing blind and risking a damaged part.
