I just saw the force listed in the eBay auction shown in this thread as 6
tons.
The retarded seller doesn't even clearly state what the size of the machine
is.. one might assume that it's 48" from the model number, but I didn't look
it up.. and the machines are from a metricized country, so the model number
may not be relative to the size in inches.

It's in sillimeters, a Model 2500=2.5 meters. Big enough for anything
I'm likely to dream up. Smaller the model number, the shorter the
bed. And "Tonnes" is likely metric tons, 2200 lbs, thereabouts. So
probably closer to 5000 lbs if it's factory listed at 4 tonnes.
Wonder if you could rig a magneticly operated punch off that? Would
be kind of neat to do pop rivet holes on the same unit.
