CVW takes a closer look at Liftmaster’s BP 65-215 King Pin Press.
Liftmaster have spent decades supplying the very best in workshop equipment. From quality lifts, brake testers and even specialist tools, to help you get the job done efficiently and safely.
The BP 65-215 S3 King Pin Press is one of those rare tools – a solution built to meet the rigorous demands of commercial vehicle workshops. Purpose-built for the safe and controlled removal and installation of king pins, bushings, and wheel bearings, it’s a press that makes heavy-duty work feel effortless. Robust, adaptable, and engineered to the highest standards, the BP 65-215 S3 isn’t just a tool – it’s an investment in speed, safety, and workshop innovation.
What is it – and what does it do?
The BP 65-215 S3 is a 65-tonne mobile king pin press, built for use in truck and bus maintenance workshops. Thanks to its electro-hydraulic system, this press delivers massive force, making light work of tasks that once required brute strength and an uncomfortable level of risk. It operates with a double-acting cylinder, giving users complete control during both pressing and retraction. This makes it ideal for working on commercial vehicles where access is limited, tolerances are tight, and downtime is costly.
The problem with traditional methods
Let’s be honest – manually removing king pins isn’t just frustrating. It’s dangerous. Technicians are often left battling with sledgehammers, heating tools, and improvised setups. Not only is this timeconsuming, but it’s also inconsistent, unsafe, and often damaging to surrounding components.
The BP 65-215 S3 removes the need for all that. It takes the guesswork out of pressing, providing a safe, repeatable, and efficient solution your team can rely on.

- Easy operation, with an intuitive control panel and consistent pressing speed.
- But beyond that, it’s the peace of mind that sets it apart. Your team can focus on the job, not the tools – knowing the BP 65-215 S3 has the muscle to get it done.
