Draper Expert 50 Tonne Pneumatic/Hydraulic Floor Press (PFP/50) — Industrial Pressing Power for the Most Demanding Workshops

The Draper Expert 50 Tonne Pneumatic/Hydraulic Floor Press (PFP/50) is a heavy industrial-grade workshop press designed to tackle the toughest pressing jobs in commercial vehicle, agricultural, plant, and heavy engineering environments. Combining 50 tonnes of hydraulic capacity with dual pneumatic and manual operation, a movable cylinder for precise lateral positioning, and a comprehensive accessory package, the PFP/50 delivers the kind of professional pressing performance that serious workshops depend on every day.

Supplied with a complete pin set and two V-blocks for cylindrical workpieces — and featuring integrated pin set storage on the pallet — the PFP/50 is engineered, equipped, and ready to take on the heaviest pressing, removal, straightening, and forming tasks in your workshop.

Dual Power: Pneumatic Speed, Manual Precision

What sets the PFP/50 apart is its dual pneumatic and manual operation. The integrated pneumatic system allows rapid ram advancement and high-volume production work — significantly reducing operator fatigue and slashing cycle times compared with hand-pump-only presses. When precision matters, the manual hand-pump function takes over for the controlled, progressive force needed for delicate installation, careful straightening, and final positioning.

This flexibility makes the PFP/50 equally at home in high-throughput commercial workshops where speed is essential and in precision engineering environments where controlled, repeatable pressing is the priority.

Key Features and Benefits

The Draper Expert PFP/50 is built around the features that matter most for heavy industrial pressing:

• 50-tonne hydraulic capacity for the most demanding pressing, removal, and forming applications
• Pneumatic and manual dual operation for fast cycle times and precision control in a single machine
• Movable cylinder allows the ram to be repositioned laterally across the working width — aligning force exactly where it's needed without repositioning heavy workpieces
• Two-stage working table adjustment with a generous 80–780mm ram-to-table range for components of virtually any size
• Built-in pin set storage on the pallet keeps accessories organised, secure, and immediately accessible
• Complete press pin set supplied for pressing a wide range of component sizes
• Two V-blocks included for supporting cylindrical workpieces such as shafts and axles
• Heavy-duty floor-standing construction for the stability and rigidity heavy pressing demands
• Draper Expert range — built for the trade professional and industrial user

Ideal Applications

With 50 tonnes of hydraulic force available, the PFP/50 opens up pressing capability that lighter workshop presses simply cannot match. Typical applications include:

• Heavy commercial vehicle (HGV, bus, truck) bearing, bush, and king pin work
• Agricultural machinery and tractor component servicing
• Plant equipment and earth-moving machinery repair
• Large bearing and race installation and removal
• Pressing large pulleys, gears, sprockets, and pressed-on fittings
• Heavy shaft and axle straightening
• Industrial maintenance and rebuilding work
• Forming, bending, and shaping heavy-gauge metal
• General heavy fabrication and engineering pressing tasks

The PFP/50 is the press of choice for HGV and bus workshops, commercial vehicle dealerships, agricultural engineering specialists, plant maintenance facilities, heavy fabrication shops, and any industrial workshop where serious pressing capacity is a daily requirement.

Designed Around the Operator

The PFP/50 isn't just powerful — it's designed to be practical. The movable cylinder dramatically reduces the manual repositioning of heavy workpieces, the two-stage table adjustment makes setup quicker and safer, and the integrated pin storage keeps essential tooling exactly where it's needed. These thoughtful details add up to a press that's faster to use, easier to live with, and safer to operate.

Product Specifications

Why Choose the Draper Expert PFP/50?

A 50-tonne press is a serious piece of capital equipment — and choosing the right one comes down to capacity, operational flexibility, build quality, and long-term value. The Draper Expert PFP/50 ticks every one of those boxes.

The dual pneumatic and manual operation provides the speed of air-powered pressing with the precision of hand-pump control — a combination that few presses at this capacity offer. The movable cylinder transforms the productivity of awkward or off-centre jobs. The complete pin set and integrated storage mean the press is ready to work from the moment it's installed, with no hidden costs or scrambling for accessories.

As part of the Draper Expert range, the PFP/50 is engineered specifically for the trade professional who depends on equipment that performs reliably under heavy daily use. Backed by Draper Tools — one of the UK's most respected names in workshop and industrial equipment — it's a press built to anchor a serious workshop for years to come.

Whether you're upgrading the capability of an established commercial workshop, equipping a new HGV facility, or replacing an aging industrial press with something genuinely capable, the Draper Expert 50 Tonne Pneumatic/Hydraulic Floor Press is the heavy-duty pressing solution your operation deserves.
