Workbench Definition and 67 Threads

I have recently become interested in automatic press machines, specifically an electro servo model. The press is capable of 5 tons (10,000 lb) of force. My question revolves around understanding what type of workbench I need to put this on top of. I understand the workbench must at least be...
