Meet international safety standards
Our hydraulic presses have a 2-to-1 safety factor, which meets American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B30.1 standards. All presses also meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements (CE).
With self-locking winch mechanisms, our presses ensure operating safety. Plus, our valves and cylinders have built-in and adjustable relieve valves, for precision pressure control.
Improve ergonomics
With a larger than average work area, strong uprights and an easy loading structure, our presses are designed with ergonomics in mind.
An alignment level facilitates easy pin replacement subsequent to lowering the press bed. Press frames can be used horizontally for pressing jobs on extra-long shafts, making them a versatile and flexible solution.
Handle the heavy-duty applications
Handle large jobs efficiently and safely, with Hytec SA’s range of heavy duty presses.
These can handle workpieces up to 200 tons and are designed for easy loading and unloading, ensuring your workshop is productive no matter the size of the task.

We accompany you, starting from the risk assessment and the development of the safety concepts, to the selection of suitable components, the implementation in the machine and the training of your employees.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydraulic press used for?
This is a machine press that uses hydraulic cylinders to generate force or pressure. It is commonly used in manufacturing to mould, shape, compress, punch into or bend different materials (usually metal).
What is the principal of a hydraulic press?
It is based on Pascal’s Principle of fluid mechanics. It states that the pressure at a point has infinite direction, and if the pressure is changed at any point in a confined, incompressible liquid, it is then transmitted throughout the fluid.
What is the difference between a hydraulic and a mechanical press?
In a mechanical press machine, a motor creates rotational force, which is converted into pressure; this allows the machine to stamp, crush, punch or mould materials.
In a hydraulic machine, hydraulic cylinders and valves use liquid pressure to create the necessary force and energy required for the press to work.
