EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION & FEATURES

Available for immediate acquisition is an industrial-grade Famco No. 3-1/2R 5-Ton Ratchet Arbor Press, complete with its original matching factory cast-iron floor stand. Famco machinery is globally recognized as the gold standard for machine shops, fabrication cells, and assembly lines due to its indestructible, heavy-duty American cast-iron frame construction.

The "R" Ratchet configuration utilizes a single-gear ratcheting clutch mechanism paired with a counter-weighted lever arm. This feature allows the operator to maintain optimal ergonomic leverage and deliver the full 5 tons of downward force through short, precise, incremental strokes—ideal for pressing bearings, broaching keyways, and installing heavy bushings without swinging a continuous 360-degree handle.

The inclusion of the heavy-duty, factory-matched floor stand eliminates bench flex, anchors securely to shop floors, and provides the critical floor-drop clearance required for long shaft assemblies.
