LAPIS Service offers this Pacific K300-16 hydraulic press brake for manufacturers and fabricators looking for a high-capacity machine in exceptional condition.
The K300-16 delivers 300 tons of forming capacity and a 16-foot machine length. The machine carries a rated capacity of 5/16″ × 14′-0″ and operates with a 460-volt, three-phase electrical system.
What makes this machine stand out is its history. Pacific built this unit as a prototype, and it never entered active production. As a result, it saw very little use and remains in pristine, exceptionally well-preserved condition.
The current configuration uses manual operation and does not include a backgauge. LAPIS Service can add a backgauge for buyers who need more repeatable positioning for production work.
Pacific K300-16 Press Brake Overview
The Pacific K300-16 provides the capacity and working length required for large-scale metal forming.
Its 300-ton capacity handles demanding bending applications, while the 16-foot frame accommodates long workpieces. The machine’s 5/16″ × 14′-0″ rating provides a useful reference for its intended forming capability.
This particular unit offers an additional advantage over a typical used press brake: limited operating history.
Pacific built the machine as a prototype rather than placing it into regular manufacturing service. Its minimal use helped preserve the hydraulic system, frame, working surfaces, and overall machine condition.

Pristine Prototype Condition
Condition sets this Pacific apart from many machines on the used-equipment market.
This K300-16 served as a prototype, not a production workhorse. The machine saw very little use, so it avoided the long operating history and everyday production wear that many used press brakes accumulate.
That limited use gives buyers a rare opportunity: a 300-ton Pacific press brake with the character and availability of used industrial equipment, but with exceptionally well-preserved condition.
The machine’s current condition makes it particularly attractive to buyers who want a large-capacity press brake without starting with a heavily worn production machine.
300-Ton Hydraulic Capacity
The K300-16 delivers 300 tons of hydraulic forming force.
That capacity gives fabrication shops substantial flexibility when forming heavier materials and larger components. The machine can serve demanding applications where a smaller press brake would lack the required forming force.
Its 16-foot platform also provides room for long parts and large fabricated assemblies.
16-Foot Working Platform
The K300-16 belongs to Pacific’s 16-foot class of press brakes.
Its long frame makes it a strong candidate for applications involving:
- Long sheet-metal components
- Structural fabrication
- Heavy-gauge forming
- Large equipment components
- Industrial enclosures
- Custom fabrication
- Large fabricated assemblies
The machine’s size also gives shops flexibility when handling workpieces that would require multiple setups on a shorter press brake.
Manual Operation
This unit currently operates as a manual press brake.
The manual configuration keeps the machine straightforward and gives operators direct control over the forming process. It also provides an opportunity for a buyer to configure the machine around a specific production requirement.
The current machine does not include a backgauge.
Backgauge Installation Available
A backgauge can make a significant difference when a shop needs repeatable flange dimensions or frequent production runs.
LAPIS Service can evaluate a suitable backgauge installation for this K300-16 based on the buyer’s application.
A buyer can therefore keep the machine in its current configuration or add a backgauge to improve positioning and repeatability.
Contact LAPIS Service to discuss backgauge options.
Electrical Specifications
This Pacific K300-16 uses a 460V, three-phase, 60 Hz power supply.
The machine information lists:
- 40 amps full-load current
- 80-amp rating
- 14,000-amp interrupting capacity
- 120V control voltage
- Single-phase control circuit
- 500 VA control power
A qualified electrician should confirm the installation requirements before connecting the machine to a facility power system.
Applications
The Pacific K300-16 can serve a wide range of industrial metal-forming applications.
Potential uses include:
- Heavy-gauge sheet-metal bending
- Structural steel fabrication
- Industrial manufacturing
- Large equipment components
- Custom metal fabrication
- Job-shop production
- Industrial enclosures
- Architectural metalwork
- General fabrication
- Large-format bending
The combination of 300 tons and a 16-foot platform makes this machine especially useful for shops that work with large or heavy components.
Why Consider This Pacific Press Brake?
Finding a large-capacity press brake in good condition can be difficult. Finding one with a prototype history and extremely limited use is even less common.
This K300-16 gives buyers several advantages:
High capacity:
300 tons provides substantial forming force for demanding applications.
Long machine length:
The 16-foot platform accommodates large workpieces.
Exceptional preservation:
The prototype history means the machine saw very little use.
Straightforward operation:
The current manual configuration keeps the machine simple.
Upgrade potential:
A backgauge can be added when production requirements call for it.
Industrial electrical configuration:
The machine uses a 460V, three-phase power supply commonly found in industrial facilities.
