6 ton vs 12 ton vs 20 ton shop press classes
Compare hydraulic shop-press class ceilings against ShopPress estimates, with verified VEVOR US product examples and an honest NO_MATCH path.
| Class | Clears required up to | Typical fit (heuristic) | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 ton | 6 ton required | Light U-joints / small bearings | Too light for many stubborn passenger-car jobs |
| 12 ton | 12 ton required | Light automotive pressing that clears 6 but stays ≤ 12 | Still short of heavier stubborn passenger screens |
| 20 ton | 20 ton required | Typical stubborn passenger-car pressing ≤ 20 | Above 20 often needs ~50 ton class — NO_MATCH here |
| NO_MATCH (above 20) | >20 ton required | Jobs screened above this ladder | Do not force a 20 ton class — size up |
