"This press is well designed and worth the price. The press functions well and the 2 speed pump makes fast work when you need to move the ram far. The winch to raise the bar is nice and needed a bit of care to get it just right.
Mine came with less than the full amount of jack oil, but a phone call to the manufacture we figured out the problem and I added some jack oil and got the full stroke from the ram.
I did manage to unload and set mine up by myself but it is heavy and must be done with care. If you can have a helper it would be much better.
I also added wheels to mine as my shop is small and the press must be wheeled in and out as needed.
Overall it is a well built press and made in the USA."

Arcan 50 ton press CP500

"Love this press. The 2 speed pump is a real time saver. The winch operated bed is a real back saver. 2 large 1" pins on each side to take the force from the bed. Everything is painted well, so it should look good for years. I've had mine for a year and it still looks brand new. I don't know if the winch cables are fastened to the bed and routed over the frame on all these presses. My press was a clearance item and the winch/cables came in a box. So, be prepared to do a little assembly work to get the winch mounted and working just right. Maybe you'll get lucky and yours will be completely assembled."
