1) Total Dead weight of the machine is 13 tons approx.

2) When the machine is in the loaded condition ie when applied pressure the dead weight of the machine remains the same.

3) Total Capacity of the machine is 40 Tons (Hydraulic Force)

4) Anti-Vibration pads are provided at the base of the machine.

Further we require from you the details as below;
