Baileigh HSP-17F Hydraulic Foot Workshop Press
The Baileigh HSP-17F is a robust 15-tonne (metric) / 17-ton (imperial) hydraulic workshop press that combines European craftsmanship with versatile hand and foot operation, delivering the power and control you need for professional metalworking, automotive repair, and fabrication tasks.
Built for Serious Work
When you need reliable pressing power without breaking the bank, the Baileigh HSP-17F delivers exactly what your workshop demands. This European-manufactured hydraulic press combines a fully-welded steel H-frame construction with industrial-grade hydraulic components, giving you the confidence to work at full capacity day after day.
Dual Operation for Maximum Control
What makes the HSP-17F special is its dual operation system. You can use the foot pedal for hands-free pressing when you need both hands to position your workpiece, or switch to the manual hand pump when precision and delicate control are essential. This flexibility means you're never compromising between power and accuracy – you get both, exactly when you need them.
Professional Features, Workshop-Ready Design
With a generous 555mm working width and 160mm piston travel, this press handles a wide range of projects from pressing bearings and bushings to straightening bent components and assembling tight-fitting parts. The integrated pressure gauge lets you monitor your pressing force in real-time, so you're always working safely and efficiently. And at 134kg, it's substantial enough to stay rock-solid during operation while still being manageable for workshop placement.
Perfect for fabrication shops, automotive repair facilities, maintenance departments, and serious home workshops, the HSP-17F represents outstanding value in the mid-capacity press category.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need compressed air or electricity to operate this press?
No, the HSP-17F is completely manual – it operates purely through hydraulic pressure generated by the hand pump and foot pedal. This makes it perfect for workshops without pneumatic systems and means you'll never lose productivity due to power outages.
What's the difference between hand and foot operation?
The foot pedal allows hands-free operation, which is ideal when you need both hands to position or stabilize your workpiece. The manual hand pump gives you finer control and precise pressure application for delicate operations. You can use whichever method suits the specific job you're doing.
Can this press handle offcenter work?
Yes! The 555mm working width provides plenty of space for off-center pressing operations. The solid H-frame construction maintains stability even when pressing force isn't centered on the bed.
What type of maintenance does this press require?
Minimal maintenance is needed. Regularly check hydraulic oil levels, inspect seals for wear, and keep the frame clean. The industrial-grade hydraulic components are designed for years of reliable service with basic care.
What size workshop space do I need?
While the press weighs 134kg and requires adequate floor space, it's manageable for most workshop layouts. Ensure you have sufficient overhead clearance and comfortable working space around the press. The exact footprint should be confirmed based on your specific model configuration.
Is this press suitable for professional workshop use?
Absolutely. The HSP-17F is built to professional standards with European manufacturing quality, making it ideal for fabrication shops, automotive repair facilities, machine shops, and maintenance departments that demand reliable performance.
