Fly Press Sizes?

Featured Replies

Robert may have the better estimate.  I may be off by an order of magnitude.  Err to the heavier side.  If it as heavy as Robert suggests you may need something even larger than an engine hoist to move it intact.  You may have to tear it down in place and then deal with the individual parts.  If so, you will need lots of penetrating oil and cheater bars for your wrenches.

It will be a working machine once you have it home and set up.

"By hammer and hand all arts do stand."

PS  I had based my previous weight estimate on the object to the left being a 3 gallon bucket.  I see now that it is actually a garbage can, possibly a 20-30 gallon capacity.

George, I am in northern Maryland and the press is in PA.

I am familiar with rigging, have a tandem trailer capable of #7500. I’m estimating press weighs #2500-3500. I’ll be fine with my forklift once back at the shop. The guy I bought it from guesstimated #2500. I think a bit more. It stands 7’ tall. It’s a beast.

I fell in love with it. Had to have it. I have a forging hammer and 25 ton hydraulic coal iron press already. I have moved many pcs of equipment in my 35 years.

thanks for any help.

Yep, I think you are safe to call it 3,200#.  Drooling here, til the day you have her placed! And thanks again, Scott!

Robert Taylor, thanks a ton man. I’ve been searching for a chart like this. It definitely is 3200# . I’m good with my rigging now that this is confirmed.

  Glad to help Robert.  Thank you for your help in return.  I need a new phone!  :)
