I have 20T free standing floor press. I don't use it often, but when I do, I am sure thankful I have it. That looks like a nice un!
Looks like you've made good use of it already!
I have a bunch of LCAs laying around and figured I should make use of them.
So I ordered up new parts for em and rebuild them. Ya this little press made easy work of pulling all the old bushings and pins out. Got most of them pulled apart in the time of listening to Innagaddadavida !!!!!

I bought a big ol honkin tap to screw into the shells to keep from having to weld the washers in to push them out. I forget what size it is, but it's huge!
I don't use a press much anymore, and it's on semi permanent loan to the neighbor. But when I did the diesel 4wd conversion I had to swap some good rotors off one front axle (wrong ratio) to the "correct" one. Hard work, pushing 16 of those big wheel studs out of those hubs and then put the "better" rotors on the new hub/ bearings!!! And I dropped one on my FOOT!!
The bottom (junk) rotor was being used for tooling/ support. At some point it popped outta there and attacked my big toe!!! Air was BLUE!!!
One of the "better" rotors on the new hub getting ready for the brake lathe. Betcha you didn't I have one of those!!
LOL!!! Using a bike inner tube for an anti-chatter strap!!
I'd forgotten how much "fun" that whole thing was!!

Not a real name Brand ! Chinessium crap but it is heavy duty Amazon $110 . I can put a bigger jack if need be !
That's funny, I just picked up the 20T unit from HF, on sale, of course. 55 year old U-joints, easy as (Pecan) pie.

https://www.amazon.com/Hydraulic-Filter-CRUSHER-SHOP-PRESS/dp/B0043KAFQC/?tag=fabo03-20 Good choice...small, cheap and simple you can add a little air if you change your jack out Mr. Al. Built right into the jack base. Hook her up to your compressor and squeeze...but like Tom said "you could shoot your eye out" LOL

Oh yes if you bought the whole thing..."She's got the jack" LOL. I was just using the pic for reference. You would just need the cylinder and base plus airline. We added one to the hand pump press in our maintenance shop a few years ago. Zing! It was barely above freezing again here last night Al. Karrin went to bed and left the windows open in her office. The hardwood floors were cold on the tootsies this morning. Red Heads!That's. "A LOTTA JACK" for a jack !
Mine had the air jack
Till it stopped...miss the air attachment
