What is the weight of a 200-ton hydraulic press? Answers from hydraulic press manufacturers

With the development of technology and changes in market demand, the 200-ton hydraulic press has evolved from the traditional national standard into various non-standard versions. It is difficult to determine the weight of a 200-ton hydraulic press as there are multiple variations. The 200-ton hydraulic press comes in different types, including four-column, single-column, double-column, frame type, horizontal, etc. Its applications include correction, forming, stamping, etc. For equipment of different types and functions, the weight varies significantly. Different manufacturers use different materials and processing methods for each component, resulting in variations in equipment weight.

The weight of a 200-ton four-column hydraulic press is around 2-5 tons, a single-column weighs about 0.8-1 ton, a double-column weighs approximately 1-2 tons, and horizontal and four-column presses have similar weights. Frame types may be heavier. For hydraulic presses with brick pressing functions, the weight is around 4-5 tons because they require fabricating mechanisms, molds, and brick ejector mechanisms. For correction function hydraulic presses, which lack other mechanisms, the weight is significantly reduced.

Many manufacturers produce the body of a 200-ton hydraulic press using welded parts, resulting in a relatively light weight. Some manufacturers use high-quality cast steel parts, which increases the weight. Regardless of the chosen structure and material, attention must be paid to equipment performance and quality, and one should avoid being tempted by low prices.
