Baileigh HSP-33F Hydraulic Foot Press
The Baileigh HSP-33F is a European-made 30 ton hydraulic workshop press that combines hand and foot operation, giving you complete control and hands free convenience for a wide range of metalworking and fabrication tasks. Built for professionals who demand reliability and precision, this press delivers 294kN of pressing force with the safety and accuracy you need to tackle demanding workshop projects.
When you're working on bearing installations, bushing removal, or metal forming tasks, having both hands free makes all the difference. The HSP-33F gives you exactly that. This isn't just another shop press. It's a thoughtfully designed European tool that lets you control pressing operations with your foot while keeping both hands on your workpiece, dramatically improving your precision, safety, and overall work quality.
The fixed head design provides exceptional stability during operation, while the automatic piston return saves you time between cycles. You'll appreciate the integrated pressure gauge that lets you monitor force in real time, ensuring you never exceed safe limits or apply insufficient pressure. The 560mm working width gives you plenty of room to work with larger components, and at 172kg, this press is substantial enough to handle serious jobs without walking across your workshop floor.
What really sets the HSP-33F apart is its dual operation capability. Need fine control for delicate work? Use the hand pump. Working on repetitive tasks where speed matters? Switch to foot operation and keep your hands where they need to be. This flexibility transforms how you approach pressing tasks, making your workshop more efficient and your work safer.
Applications
- Metal Component Assembly: Press bearings, bushings, and sleeves into housings with precise control. The foot operation lets you align components with both hands while applying steady, controlled pressure.
- Automotive and Machinery Repair: Remove stubborn bearings from shafts, press in new bushings, install u-joints, and straighten bent components. Perfect for workshop environments where vehicle and equipment maintenance is routine.
- Fabrication and Metalworking: Form metal brackets, bend steel components, and straighten warped parts. The 30 tons of force handles serious fabrication work while the pressure gauge prevents overloading.
- Shaft and Pin Work: Install pins, remove frozen shafts, and press components onto axles. The included V-blocks provide secure positioning for round stock and cylindrical parts.
- Manufacturing and Production: Ideal for small to medium batch production where consistent pressing force is required. The foot operation speeds up repetitive tasks while maintaining quality.
- General Workshop Tasks: Compress springs, rivet assemblies, stamp parts, and handle dozens of other pressing jobs that come up in a busy workshop environment.
Key Features & Benefits
- Hands-Free Foot Operation: The integrated foot pedal changes everything about how you work. You can position your workpiece with both hands, ensure perfect alignment, and then apply pressure with your foot. This means better precision, improved safety, and faster work cycles.
- Manual Hand Pump Backup: When you need ultra-fine control or want to feel the resistance, switch to manual operation. This dual functionality makes the press incredibly versatile for different tasks and operator preferences.
- Integrated Pressure Gauge: Stop guessing and start knowing. The built-in gauge shows you exactly how much force you're applying, protecting both your workpiece and the press from damage while ensuring you apply adequate pressure for proper assembly.
- Automatic Piston Return: After each press cycle, the piston automatically retracts to its starting position. This time-saving feature keeps your workflow moving smoothly, especially during repetitive operations.
- European Manufacturing Quality: Built in Europe with attention to detail and quality materials, this press is designed for long-term reliability. You're investing in a tool that will serve your workshop for years.
- Generous Working Width: The 560mm (22 inch) working width accommodates larger components than many presses in this capacity range. You won't find yourself struggling to fit parts that are just slightly too wide.
- Substantial Build Quality: At 172kg, this press has the mass to absorb pressing forces without movement or vibration. The fixed head design provides a solid, stable platform for accurate work.
- Ready to Work: Includes V-blocks for securing round stock and cylindrical components. These essential accessories mean you can start pressing immediately without hunting for additional tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need compressed air or electricity to operate this press?
No, the HSP-33F is completely self-contained. It operates purely through hydraulic pressure generated by either the hand pump or foot pedal. This makes it perfect for workshops where power sources are limited or where you want a press that's always ready without warm-up time.
Can I really use just foot operation, or will I need to pump by hand too?
The foot operation is genuinely functional for most pressing tasks. However, the hand pump gives you additional control when you need ultra-precise pressure application or want to "feel" the workpiece. Many users find they use foot operation for 80% of their work and hand operation for fine-tuning.
What maintenance does this press require?
Maintenance is minimal. Check the hydraulic oil level periodically and top up as needed. Keep the moving parts clean and lightly lubricated. The simple hydraulic system has few wear parts, making this a low-maintenance tool. The European build quality means components are designed for longevity.
How much workshop space do I need for this press?
While exact footprint specifications weren't provided, typical presses of this capacity require approximately 700mm x 800mm of floor space. The 172kg weight means you'll want to position it carefully, as it's not easily moved once in place. The fixed head design is more compact than movable head models.
What's the difference between the fixed head on this model and movable head presses?
A fixed head means the top of the press frame is solid and stationary. This provides maximum rigidity and stability during pressing operations. While you can't adjust the head position, you adjust your work height using the press bed instead. This design is preferred when maximum frame strength is important.
