Depends what you are calling portable. I made a h style press where I work I would transport it wherever I needed it if I had to.
I also made another press that uses the all thread I use in my hollow ram. It has holes in 1" plate that are braces so I can either use 3 or 4 rods whatever I need to in the situation.

Enerpac makes some portable c frame presses in 5, 10 and 30 ton. But they are spendy. Looking for a used 10 ton to press plain bearings into cylinder eyes and linkages on my mulcher.

I bought a hollow ram cylinder and electric over hydraulic pump from eBay. It’s not the most powerful thing I’ve ever used but I bet it’ll do what you need. I have less than $600 in the setup

Hollow cylinders are on the list for sure. Thanks
