ABSTRACT:
A spring compressor having a vertical post with a movable spring mount on the middle part of the post and a fixed spring mount on the upper part of the post. A self-contained, hydraulic jack is mounted between the movable spring mount and the lower part of the post or a base supporting the post. The jack is operable to move the the movable spring mount up toward the fixed spring mount to compress a spring between them. The fixed spring mount can be adjustably mounted on the upper part of the post. Each spring mount has a pair of support arms. There is a spring engaging hook at the end of each arm. The arms on each mount are movable toward or away from each other and are also swingable in a vertical plane so that they can be easily mounted on a spring. Adjustable stops are also provided for limiting upward movement of the arms on the fixed spring mount and for limiting downward movement of the arms on the movable spring mount.
