Draper Expert Hydraulic Floor Press, 30 Tonne

The Draper Expert 30 Tonne Hydraulic Floor Press (HFP/30) is a heavy-duty, professional-grade workshop press built for serious pressing, forming, straightening, and component installation work. With a powerful 30-tonne hydraulic ram, sliding ram assembly for precise alignment, 12 adjustable table heights, and a comprehensive accessory pack including eight press pins and two V-shaped pressing blocks, the HFP/30 is engineered to handle the most demanding workshop jobs with ease.

Designed for daily use in busy garages, fabrication units, agricultural engineering workshops, and industrial maintenance facilities, the HFP/30 combines the strength of a robot-welded one-piece frame with thoughtful operator-focused features such as a rack-and-pinion table lift, dustproof covers, and an integrated storage tray.

Engineered for Strength, Stability, and Longevity

The HFP/30's foundation is its robot-welded one-piece frame — a manufacturing process that delivers exceptional structural integrity and rigidity, ensuring the press remains stable and true even when working at full 30-tonne capacity. At 157kg net weight and 1,800mm tall, it provides the solid, planted feel that heavy pressing work demands.

To protect the hydraulic system and extend service life, dustproof covers are fitted to the top of the frame, preventing workshop debris, swarf, and contaminants from entering the pump and ram assembly — a small but significant detail that pays dividends over years of daily use.

Key Features and Benefits

The Expert HFP/30 is packed with professional features designed to make heavy pressing safer, easier, and more accurate:

• 30-tonne hydraulic capacity for the most demanding pressing, removal, and forming applications
• Sliding ram for precise lateral positioning over the workpiece without repositioning the part
• 12 adjustable table heights spanning a generous 25–850mm working range
• Rack-and-pinion winch table lift allows the heavy work table to be raised and lowered easily and safely by one operator
• Robot-welded one-piece frame for superior rigidity, accuracy, and durability
• Dustproof covers protect the pump and ram from contamination, extending service life
• Removable parts tray built into the base frame keeps press pins, blocks, and small accessories organised and to hand
• Hand pump operation delivers controlled, progressive hydraulic force
• Eight press pins included, covering a working range of 2–15 tonnes
• Two flat V-shaped pressing blocks supplied for supporting round stock and shaft components
• Draper Expert range — built for the professional trade user

Ideal Applications

With 30 tonnes of force on tap and a near full-metre of vertical working range, the HFP/30 is suited to a vast spectrum of professional pressing tasks, including:

• Pressing bearings, bushes, and races into and out of housings
• Installing and removing wheel bearings and hub assemblies
• Pressing universal joints, ball joints, and silent bushes
• Working with HGV, agricultural, and plant components
• Straightening bent shafts, axles, and structural steel
• Pressing pulleys, gears, sprockets, and pressed-on fittings
• Forming, bending, and shaping metal parts
• General fabrication, engineering, and maintenance pressing tasks

A genuine workhorse for independent garages tackling commercial work, HGV and bus workshops, agricultural engineers, plant maintenance teams, fabricators, machine shops, and industrial repair facilities.

Press Pin Set and Pressing Blocks

The included eight press pins (2–15 tonne range) give the operator the right tool for the job from the moment the press is set up — eliminating the need to source additional pressing tools separately. Combined with the two flat V-shaped pressing blocks, the HFP/30 is ready to support, locate, and press a huge variety of round and shaft components straight out of the crate.

Why Choose the Draper Expert HFP/30?

A 30-tonne press represents a significant step up in capability from lighter workshop presses — opening the door to heavier commercial vehicle work, larger bearings, agricultural and plant components, and serious fabrication tasks that a 10 or 20-tonne press would struggle with.

The HFP/30 isn't just about raw capacity, though. It's the combination of details — the robot-welded frame for rigidity, the rack-and-pinion table for safe height adjustment, the dustproof covers for long-term reliability, the integrated parts tray for organisation, and the comprehensive accessory pack that means you're ready to work from day one — that makes this press stand out.

As part of the trusted Draper Expert range, the HFP/30 is engineered for the trade professional who depends on their equipment to perform reliably under daily heavy use. Backed by Draper Tools, one of the UK's most respected names in workshop equipment, it's a press built to earn its keep year after year.

Whether you're expanding the capability of an established workshop, equipping a new commercial facility, or replacing a tired older press with something serious, the Draper Expert 30 Tonne Hydraulic Floor Press is the heavy-duty pressing solution your workshop deserves.
