Hydraulic Wheel Press O/No.5792 is in the process of being brought back to life after being stood outside at Port Talbot steel works . It is to be erected at River Engineering in Scunthorpe. It’s new life will be pressing shafts from wind turbine gearboxes.
Ed: Roy, many thanks for this information. Is your company undertaking the work?
When the press has completed the refurbishment/modernisation for its new and interesting role it would be nice if you could post a photo to add to this page. John B
