Internationally regarded as the ‘quality press of choice’, the RH range boasts low frame deflection and long die life derived from the heavy press construction and massively ribbed one-piece frame. Made to order, these presses are incorporated into project-critical applications worldwide.

RH Presses – Designed as a low-cost, versatile machine, RH Presses are the backbone of many production lines. The range is available with model varying from 25 to 250 tonnes. Models above 100 tonnes are supplied with a fixed-frame upright as standard.  

See Model Specification Below

Design Features of RH Mechanical Press range include:


  • Fixed or variable stroke models available
  • High-performance, low-inertia hydraulical-actuated combined friction clutch/brake combined units allows for a fast single stroking rate with the minimum amount of heat build-up
  • Massive press construction utilising quality materials and generous bearing surfaces guarantees minimum deflection and longer die life
  • An ergonomic and compact design to minimise space
  • Geared or ungeared models available
  • Manual slide adjustment fitted as standard
  • Pneumatic slide balance to guarantee smoothness of operation, extended die and bearing life at all speeds

Optional extras:

  • A hydraulic overload device is located under the ball screw seating in order to prevent a major overload
  • Full CNC controls can be fitted to monitor all the press functions and provide additional auxiliary outputs
  • Hydraulic tool clamping and a quick tool change carriage can be fitted to provide 'Just-In-Time' benefits
  • Optional safety light curtain and the Rhodes Interform patented G.E.A.R mechanism (which has proven to increase productivity by up to 30% when manually feeding)
