The Mechanic’s Workstation
One machine. The whole job.
The WSM4 Workstation is a 30 tonne air/hydraulic press, a spring compressor, a filter crusher and a tooling store in one welded frame — on castors, so it goes to the bay instead of the bay coming to it.
- Press capacity
- 30,000kg Press capacity
- Spring compressor
- 10,000kg Spring compressor
- Ram stroke
- 295mm Ram stroke
- Bed heights

Part by part
Explore the workstation
Eight things this frame does that a press on its own does not. Pick a marker to light that part up and see it close.
Winch-raised bed
The bed is winched up and down, not wrestled. Eight locking heights at 85mm increments give a 224–819mm working range, so you set the press to the job instead of working around it.
See it work
More than just a press
A few minutes with the machine says more than a specification table can. Watch the bed winch up, the guards close, a strut go into the side-mounted spring compressor and a filter go flat — all from the one frame, without moving the car.
And one more job
It crushes your old filters
The filter crushing assembly puts the same thirty tonnes to work on used oil filters, squeezing the oil out for clean, compliant disposal and shrinking a bin full of filters down to almost nothing. A waste-handling job the workstation absorbs, instead of one more thing taking up a corner.
One pump, two rams
Press, or spring compressor
One foot pump feeds both rams. The lever on the column selects which one gets the pressure, and the gauge beside it reads the load you are actually applying, so you work to a number instead of to feel. Retract the ram fully before you switch, and never take it past the 600 bar printed on the placard.
Capability
Everything it replaces
Four machines, a tooling cabinet and a filter crusher, built into one frame that fits where a press already sits.
295mm of ram stroke, 140mm with the standard load cap fitted, driven by a 10,000psi foot pump on shop air and ISO32 oil.
Side-mounted with its own gauge and claw rack, rated for most coil springs up to 3,500kg GVM.
Used oil filters crushed on the spot, so the oil is recovered and the waste goes out flat.
Sleeves, adapters, collars, V-blocks and separators, so there is a right contact face for the part.
An integrated storage post keeps every adapter on the machine and off the bench.
Eight locking bed heights at 85mm increments across a 224–819mm range, raised and lowered on a winch.
Perforated steel guards close across the work area and swing clear when you need the bed.
A 1820 × 1170 × 820mm frame on braked castors — it moves to the bay the job is already in.
Intended use
Built for the jobs that tie up a bay
The WSM4 is designed around suspension and driveline work — the pressing, compressing and separating that otherwise walks a car between three machines.
- Front struts
- Rear axles
- 4x4 struts
- Bushes
- Ball joints
- Hubs
- Wheel bearings
- Suspension
In the box
It arrives ready to work
Sleeves, adapters, collars, separators, V-blocks and spring claws come with the machine and stow on it. On the WSM4 the tooling is not an accessory list — it is half the reason the thing works.
