- No adaptors required
- Heavy duty acme thread
- Versatile mounting options
- Multi-position hooks
- All steel construction
- 4.5 Ton Hydraulic Load Capacity: The hydraulic jack has a 4.5 ton load capacity, and the rated compression force is 1 ton. Our coil spring compressor is great for various vehicle types, including sedans, SUVs, off-road vehicles, and pickup trucks. Perfectly suited for spring disassembly and shock absorber maintenance.
- Versatile Clamping Options: Our spring compressor comes with two clasps for the utmost versatility. The small spring clasp accommodates sizes from 4.3" to 5.1", while the big spring clasp caters to 5.5" to 6.7" sizes. With a maximum compression stroke of 12.6"/320 mm and featuring 8 positioning holes on the column, you can easily adjust the clasp position to match different spring heights.
- Stable Suspension: Prioritizing safety and convenience, our coil spring compressor features a stable suspension system that prevents bouncing due to spring tension. It halts at the current position and only descends slowly when you engage the pressure release valve.
- Safety Assurance: The strut spring compressor provides multiple-layered protection: a 39.4" extended safety chain to secure the springs, an additional stable locking mechanism, and a safety tongue on the clasp to prevent spring detachment accidents. The H-shaped stable base ensures minimal wobbling during operation. For added security, two pre-drilled holes allow you to anchor the compressor to the ground.
- Premium Material Construction: The hydraulic jack boasts a leak-proof hydraulic pump and a dampened hydraulic rod for seamless lifting and lowering. The Q235 reinforced steel column and the ductile cast iron clasps provide unparalleled durability to withstand extreme pressures, ensuring heavy-duty springs without risk of breakage or bending.
- 1️⃣CORE SUSPENSION SERVICE: Built to compress automotive coil springs during MacPherson strut removal, installation, and suspension repair. The 9921 lb/4500 kg rated load gives technicians the capacity needed for demanding shop work while keeping the spring controlled through the service process.
- 2️⃣THREE INTERCHANGEABLE FORKS: Match the spring to the appropriate yoke range: Gold 2.6-4.9 in, Black 3.4-6.3 in, and Silver 4.9-8.3 in. The three fork sizes expand coverage across car and UTV suspension springs while helping the jaws sit more securely on the coil.
- 3️⃣IMPACT-WRENCH COMPATIBLE: Designed for powered operation with an impact wrench to reduce manual turning time. The overload protection device is intended to sacrifice the safety pin first if excessive load occurs, while the safety-lip fork design helps limit unwanted spring slip during compression.
- 4️⃣HEAVY DUTY BUILD: The compressor uses #45 heat-treated steel, a thickened threaded rod, and a reinforced body for repeated suspension service. This heavy duty coil spring compressor is designed to resist bending under load and support more consistent strut compressor operation in repair shops.
- 5️⃣SET & SAFE USE: Includes the main compressor and three interchangeable fork sizes. Match the spring to the stated range before use, lubricate the threads before each service, and follow safe compression procedures. This is not an engine valve spring tool, hydraulic stand, or wall-mounted compressor.
- Designed to increase the capacity to hold and compress any type or size of struts and springs
- Equipped with 14" holding vice and 20.5" high which can be adjusted to fit and compress any types of strut in upright or upside down positions
- One man operation system that takes less than 10 seconds to compress spring
- Universal adjustable holding arms prevent spring from popping out
- Patented Rack and Pinion gear and patented Double Clutch Disc systems
- 【DOUBLE-RETENTION SAFETY SYSTEM】 Secure hook jaws grip the coil from both sides, while the adjustable holder connects the two compressors to help maintain alignment and reduce the risk of the jaws shifting or disengaging during compression.
- 【HEAVY DUTY 2,645 LB CAPACITY】 Built from durable carbon steel, this heavy duty spring compressor provides a 2,645 lb (1,200 kg) rated capacity for demanding automotive suspension work while helping resist flexing and deformation under load.
- 【FOR STRAIGHT COIL SPRINGS ONLY】 An ideal solution for various vehicles, including trucks and large sedans. Avoid strut compressors with flimsy hooks that cause slippage or safety hazards. Fits spring wire up to 0.8" (20 mm). Not compatible with tapered or variable-diameter springs; verify spring dimensions before use.
- 【WIDE ADJUSTABLE RANGE】 The suspension spring compressor offers a 2.7–10.6" (70–270 mm) jaw capacity, while the adjustable holder fits coil diameters from 8.6–12.2" (220–310 mm), providing flexible positioning for compatible straight springs.
- 【CONTROLLED 19 MM HEX DRIVE】 Tighten the screw compressors evenly from side to side with a 19 mm socket or wrench for controlled spring compression. Always apply grease to threads before use. (Ensure even pressure on both sides — uneven force may cause tool detachment.)
