Well as the year winds down so does my series on Dake presses, set up, trouble shooting and maintenance. Today we are looking at our Dura press and Dura Force models. This series of presses are jam packed with capacities and features at an affordable price. Such presses have self-contained pumping units and double acting workheads. So, let’s get cracking getting your Dura press installed. Ok I’m in a hurry I admit it, but I am getting ready for vacation time the rest of the year and want to make sure you get up and running. Here we go…
Thanks for visiting our blog, I look forward connecting with you to next year. HAPPY HOLIDAYS
