Dake 150 ton? Press

[zkdiesel]

Friend needs to liquidate. Looks like this gonna be a $500 option. Age unknown, works, air over hydro. Tag doesn’t list a model that’s readible

Any idea on exact model number? At $500 it’s a no brained but what’s it worth in used market? Then any idea in weight?

Gauge reads up to 150 ton with 8” ram which is approx what this has, so am I gauging this at a 150 ton press? Whole lot more material on this press than the current air of hydro one Dake makes

I would triple your money without seeing it in person.

[zkdiesel]

The part number of the new ones appear to have only half the iron in them compared to this old dog

I was going to guess 75 ton.

But after some research it could be the 150. Compare a few dimensions on the frame with modern designs.
Max at appears around 2750#

Wow, $500 is theft. At 3000 lbs, you better bring your tools with you, and a friend. Bet you could get easily $3K cleanup up if no major issues.

Point taken, I not the king but I am in the royal family of heavy ****.

That is going to be excellent if you get it working. Good score!

150t is scary stuff, in modern times it would have a chain-mail shower curtain that you pulled around if using more than about 50t.

If its not already in your inventory look around for some heavy plate, like 1-1/2 to 2+ inches thick for using as a base plate.

I have a place in IL I could store that. Wish I was you. Put it to good work!

 

[pelletman]

That is a steal, and it looks much heavier than the 75 ton Dake I had. Awesome press, probably WAY more than you will ever need

Let us know how it worked out.

Let us know how it worked out.

Gotta load it up one day next week

Helped him put up two more lifts In His shop today in exchange for it
You can see it in this picture. Luckily he had his
Guys do all the labor and I payed out the used lifts and pointed what to do

 

[RedneckWelder]

I’m jealous biggest one we have in the company is 100 tons

This press is home and weighs all of 3000 lbs. big skidsteer wouldn’t pick it off trailer with forks under upper beam with it on edge of forks. Used the backhoe to off load, then once I could get right on it with skidsteer I could pick it and balance it on front tires to set it in its home

 

[matt_i]

ZK do you have a forklift? I know you are well-stocked with mobile equipment and much of it heavy...

One piece of equipment I don’t have, usually skidsteer works much better for us.....
Lots of gravel, grass, uneven pavement, ledges. 4wd on the things withbuckets or loafers almost required for stuff around here. It would be handy but would be very little used, and one more thing to keep running when I need it....
Only one that would fit my qualifications would be a 5-8k outdoor style one

Excavator, crawler, backhoes, gradall and a few skidsteers and I normally can do most lifting

Man that looks scary on the trailer. Hope it wasn't a far drive.
