If you really want to use a hydraulic press any of the HF presses will have enough
height. Probably a foot throat would be comfortable minimum room. I believe the
shortest hydraulic one is about 26 inches. Some of the arbor presses could be a little
tight. Most any press should have enough width around it.Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig
