Well I decided to purchase a new press a few days ago and went for the free sub 4050 on mdp.
To say I wasn’t expecting this monster is an understatement.

33kg and huge.
im yet to find space for it but will be moving things around for a week or two I’m sure.

I opted for this press over a swing away due to space too :D

Welcome to your next step up. We bought an a1 pneumatic heat press last year which we cannot get into our industrial unit as too wide. Just had green light from landlord to knock wall down and install double doors and fit 3 phase power supply. This work is costing more than press Eek! Ps It weighs 150kg :-)

150kg Jesus.

I only bought it so I could press T-shirt’s with ease compared to my small a4 press.
The problem now is I need a A3 printer for the sublimation side :D

i work from home in my garage/workshop so space is limited and now I’m thinking I may need to either rent a small space or get something built in the garden.

But knocking down walls isn’t an option for me lol.

Think our biggest press (64" wide rotary) is around 100-150kg - thankfully only single phase so didn't need new incomer and fuse board sorting.
It's stuck downstairs though, as can't get it upstairs to where all our production kit is, as we can't get it round corner at bottom of the stairs - so need to knock a hole (turn window into new door) in the wall at the bottom of the stairs to have a straight run up from the back lane. This also involves rebuilding the bottom of the stairs.
