Baileigh HSP-55F Hydraulic Foot Operated Press
The Baileigh HSP-55F is a European-made 50-ton hydraulic workshop press that combines powerful pressing force with versatile hand and foot operation, designed for professional workshops handling heavy duty metal fabrication and automotive repair tasks.
When you need serious power for your workshop without compromising on control, the HSP-55F delivers exactly what you're looking for. This hydraulic press gives you 50 metric tons of pressing force to tackle everything from bearing installation to metal straightening, all while maintaining precision through its integrated pressure gauge and dual operation modes.
What sets the HSP-55F apart is its thoughtful design for real workshop environments. You get both hand and foot operation, which means you can choose precision control when you need delicate work, or hands free operation when you're positioning large components. The automatic piston return saves you time on every cycle, while the fixed head design provides rock-solid stability under maximum load. With 160mm of piston travel and a generous 750mm working width, you'll have plenty of room to work with various sized components.
Built in Europe with attention to quality, this press weighs in at a substantial 309kg, reflecting its heavy-duty construction. The included V-blocks mean you're ready to start working right out of the crate. Whether you're running an automotive workshop, metal fabrication shop, or maintenance facility, the HSP-55F provides the combination of power, precision, and durability you need for daily production work.
Applications
- Bearing Installation and Removal: Press bearings into housings, remove stubborn bearings from shafts, and handle rear axle bearing work with confidence
- Metal Straightening and Forming: Straighten bent components, form metal parts, and correct warped materials using controlled pressure
- Bushing and Pin Work: Install bushings, press wrist pins, fit U-joints, and handle interference-fit assemblies in automotive and machinery repair
- Pulley and Gear Installation: Press pulleys onto shafts, install gears, and assemble drivetrain components with precision
- General Assembly Tasks: Join components requiring high pressing force, such as housing assemblies, structural connections, and heavy-duty repairs
- Automotive Repair: Handle ball joint replacement, control arm bushing work, and other chassis repairs that demand substantial force
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual Operation Modes: Switch between hand operation for precise control and foot operation for hands-free work. This flexibility means you can position components with both hands while activating the press with your foot, making complex jobs much easier.
- 50 Metric Tons of Controlled Power: Delivering 490.5 kN of pressing force, you'll have more than enough power for the toughest workshop tasks. The integrated pressure gauge lets you monitor exactly how much force you're applying, preventing component damage.
- Made in Europe Quality: European manufacturing means you're getting machinery built to professional standards with attention to detail and quality materials throughout.
- Automatic Piston Return: After each press cycle, the piston automatically returns to the top position. This time-saving feature keeps your workflow moving and eliminates the need for manual repositioning.
- Generous Working Area: The 750mm working width gives you plenty of space for larger components and assemblies. You won't be limited to small parts; this press handles substantial workpieces.
- 160mm Piston Travel: With over 6 inches of stroke length, you have sufficient travel for a wide range of pressing operations without constantly adjusting your setup.
- Integrated Pressure Monitoring: The built-in pressure gauge takes the guesswork out of pressing operations. You'll know exactly how much force you're applying, protecting both your components and your press.
- Ready to Work: Comes with V-blocks included, so you can start pressing operations immediately without hunting for accessories or spending extra on essential tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this press require electrical power?
No, the HSP-55F is a manually operated hydraulic press. It uses hand pump and foot pedal operation, which means you don't need to worry about electrical connections or compressed air supply. This makes it incredibly versatile for any workshop location and eliminates operating costs associated with powered equipment.
What's the difference between hand and foot operation?
Hand operation gives you precise, controlled pressing when you need fine adjustments and careful positioning. Foot operation frees up both your hands to hold and position workpieces, making it ideal for larger components or when you need to align parts during the pressing process. You can switch between both modes depending on what your specific task requires.
How does the automatic piston return work?
Once you release pressure, the hydraulic system automatically retracts the piston to its top position. This eliminates manual cranking or pumping to reset the press, significantly speeding up your workflow, especially when you're doing repetitive pressing operations.
What maintenance does the HSP55F require?
Regular maintenance is straightforward. Check hydraulic fluid levels periodically, inspect for any hydraulic leaks, keep moving parts clean, and ensure the press remains properly lubricated. The 2.3-liter oil tank is easily accessible for fluid changes. Following basic maintenance practices will ensure years of reliable service.
Can I press offcenter loads with this fixed head design?
While the HSP-55F has a fixed head, the generous 750mm working width provides flexibility in positioning your workpieces. For best results and press longevity, you should aim to center your loads as much as possible. Using the included V-blocks helps position components correctly and distribute force evenly.
