Product specifications are typically the first details manufacturers look to when choosing the right new hydraulic press for their facility. Examining the qualifications of an original equipment manufacturer is also a critical step in choosing new process equipment, although it is often overlooked. To keep overall equipment cost (including aftermarket service) at its lowest and to ensure efficient production during manufacturing, a hydraulic press manufacturer’s credentials and experience within the industry must be taken into account.
Here are a few factors to consider when choosing an OEM to supply your new hydraulic press:
1) How long has the supplier been working with hydraulic presses?
2) Is the supplier familiar with your market niche?
3) Does the supplier meet your requirements for aftermarket services?
4) Does the supplier offer great sales support before and after purchase?

Purchasing a new hydraulic press is a major investment for most manufacturing facilities, and making the right choice in a supplier is just as critical as choosing the right press. Here are a few points to consider when looking into purchasing a new hydraulic press:
1) Price. Weighing equipment quality with cost can be difficult, but keep in mind that lower purchase prices are not always the most cost-effective option.
2) Delivery and installation. Except in rare circumstances, equipment suppliers are the most qualified to make sure your new hydraulic press is ready for problem-free production.
3) Aftermarket service. Experienced emergency maintenance, calibration, testing and troubleshooting services are critical for maintaining smooth production. A viable supplier will provide fulfillment services that keep your equipment up and running for a long time.
4) Sales support. Great customer service says a lot about a company. Make sure your new hydraulic press supplier makes your requests a priority before purchasing.
5) Specialty experience. Having a supplier who is well versed in your product niche will ensure your hydraulic press is optimized for production.
