Working with suspension springs demands control, stability and mechanical advantage. The US SNAP MAC 1 Tonne Hydraulic Coil Spring Compressor is engineered to make spring removal and installation safer, quicker and significantly less physically demanding than traditional threaded or ratchet-style compressors.
Designed for use with coil springs ranging from 100mm to 160mm in diameter, this floor-standing hydraulic unit provides controlled compression via a foot-operated hydraulic system. This allows the operator to keep both hands free to guide and stabilise the spring during compression — a major safety advantage over handheld or manual compressors.
Hydraulic Power with Controlled Compression
The integrated hydraulic ram delivers smooth, consistent pressure with a maximum load capacity of 1 tonne, suitable for most passenger vehicles and light commercial suspension assemblies.
-
Ram travel: 340mm
-
Maximum working length: 590mm
This extended travel range allows the unit to accommodate a wide variety of strut and spring configurations, including longer assemblies found in SUVs and light trucks.
Adjustable Height and Versatile Setup
The sliding ram bracket provides multiple height adjustments to suit different spring lengths. Additionally, the unit features seven upper yoke positions, allowing fine tuning of compression height for improved alignment and safer operation.
The included spring clamps are supplied in two sizes, ensuring compatibility with most cars and light commercial vehicles. This dual-clamp system increases versatility across different spring profiles.
Safer and More Efficient Than Manual Compressors
Compared to ratchet-driven spring compressors, this hydraulic system offers:
-
Faster compression with minimal physical effort
-
More consistent and even pressure application
-
Reduced risk of uneven loading
-
Improved operator safety
-
Stable floor-standing design
This makes it particularly suitable for professional workshops, MOT bays and technicians carrying out frequent suspension work.
Ideal Applications
-
Suspension strut replacement
-
Coil spring removal and installation
-
Shock absorber servicing
