BALANCING ACT
I installed pulleys at the top of my 20-ton press. I ran cables from the bed up and over the top. I welded up the ends of 2 pieces of 4” square pipe to form 2 bucket which I loaded with enough lead tire weights to act as a counterbalance to the bed. Now I can raise and lower the bed with one finger. I also use an air jack to make life easier.
