Before Rangemaster could install their new 1,200 ton ring frame Hydraulico press they needed to remove the existing hydraulic double action press. Located on a second floor mezzanine, their existing press needed to be dismantled, lifted, lowered and transported through several space confined areas to the ground floor in order to be removed.

Before Rangemaster could install their new 1,200 ton ring frame Hydraulico press they needed to remove the existing hydraulic double action press. Located on a second floor mezzanine, their existing press needed to be dismantled, lifted, lowered and transported through several space confined areas to the ground floor in order to be removed. The new press weighed about 60 tons, about twice that of the existing press. Getting the press to fit through the bay doors required it to be in a horizontal position. Once inside, the press needed to be flipped vertically and lifted to the second floor in order to reach its location on the production floor.
