Coil Spring Compressor Scangrip SG110005 by Scangrip

The Scangrip CANVIK PLUS coil spring compressor (1800 kg) is a workshop tool for compressing and safely removing or installing McPherson-type coil springs. Supplied with two sets of jaws with wear-resistant polyurethane inserts (for ø80–120 mm and ø80–200 mm), the tool grips the spring securely and protects the spring surface from scratches. A durable safety wire is included to lock around the spring during compression. The ergonomic adjusting handle allows quick manual positioning of the jaws. The unit is designed to cover the majority of passenger cars and is manufactured according to Scangrip quality and safety procedures; TÜV-approved with a safety factor of 4.

Advantages

The polyurethane jaw inserts conform to the spring shape and increase grip to reduce the risk of slippage while preventing surface damage and corrosion. The supplied heavy‑duty safety wire can be locked around the compressed spring to reduce the risk of injury. Large ergonomic handle and user-friendly jaw design make positioning and operation faster and easier for workshop use.

Suitable for

• Compressing and removing McPherson coil springs on passenger cars
• Workshop use by professional mechanics and experienced DIYers
• Servicing, replacement or inspection of suspension struts

When it may not be suitable

The tool is designed primarily for McPherson-type coils and for springs within the supplied jaw ranges (ø80–120 mm and ø80–200 mm). It may not fit very small, unusually shaped, or specialty springs outside those diameters, or some heavy commercial vehicle springs that exceed its capacity. Always check compatibility with the specific vehicle spring before use.

Key specifications

• Maximum rated capacity: 1800 kg
• Jaw insert materials: wear‑resistant polyurethane
• Jaw ranges: ø80–120 mm and ø80–200 mm
• Safety: supplied heavy‑duty locking safety wire; TÜV approved, safety factor 4
• Handle: large ergonomic manual adjusting handle for positioning
• Intended application: McPherson coil springs for passenger vehicles

How to use

Position the correct jaw set around the coil spring and use the ergonomic adjusting handle to close the jaws until the polyurethane inserts contact and conform to the spring. Apply compression gradually and secure the heavy‑duty safety wire around the spring to lock it in the compressed state. Perform removal or installation of the strut while the spring is safely compressed, then release compression slowly and evenly once the strut is secured. Follow vehicle manufacturer instructions and workshop safety procedures throughout.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that the spring diameters fall within the jaw ranges (ø80–120 mm or ø80–200 mm)
• Confirm the 1800 kg capacity is sufficient for the vehicle springs you will service
• Ensure the tool is suitable for McPherson-type struts on the intended vehicle models
• Plan to use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow safety procedures

Usage recommendations

Use this compressor on level, stable work surfaces; always wear eye and hand protection, compress springs gradually, and secure the safety wire before performing any work on the strut assembly.
