What is a shock bleeder?
A shock bleeder is a specialized machine used in the maintenance and servicing of shock absorbers that are found in vehicles like cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. Its primary function is to remove “change oil” in the damper. Automatic shock bleeders also can remove air from the hydraulic fluid. In this video you will learn how it is done: shock bleeding step-by-step.
Here’s why it’s essential and what it does:
- Air in the shock fluid can cause inconsistent damping performance because air compresses differently than hydraulic fluid. A shock bleeder uses vacuum pressure to remove any air bubbles, ensuring the shock operates smoothly and predictably.
- Shock bleeders also fill shocks with oil under controlled vacuum and pressure settings, ensuring the correct amount of fluid is inside. This level of control is crucial in high-performance or professional settings, where precise damping is needed for safety and optimal performance.
- Modern shock bleeders, like LABA7’s models, are automatic, allowing technicians to set parameters for pressure, vacuum, and other specifications. This automation improves efficiency and consistency, especially important in professional workshops or racing environments.
In short, a shock bleeder is an essential tool for properly servicing suspension systems, ensuring shocks are air-free, correctly filled with oil, and ready to perform reliably.
MODULE shock bleeder
MODULE by LABA7 is the most compact shock bleeder in our lineup. It is designed to be portable or to be installed in trucks or vans and service dampers during races.
MODULE is an automatic shock bleeder, meaning that the operator of MODULE only needs to connect the damper and select the settings, and the machine will do the rest.
It also has a big color display to select settings and track processes (if you want to).
Due to its size, MODULE does not include internal tanks for oil. At LABA7, we offer two models for external tanks: 3-liter and 6-liter. They cost 500 or 700 euros, depending on the size you choose.

Who It’s For?
DAILY is perfect for established workshops that specialize in specific vehicle types—such as motorcycle shops, mountain bike suspension services, or automotive garages focusing on particular car models. Since you typically work with similar shocks and use the same oil specifications, the internal tanks eliminate the need for constant tank swapping.
The 3-liter capacity handles multiple standard-sized dampers before requiring a refill, making it efficient for daily workshop operations without the bulk of larger models. While changing oil in the internal tanks takes slightly longer than swapping external ones, it’s still automated and straightforward.
At 2950 EUR—just 450 euros more than MODULE—DAILY offers exceptional value if you don’t need trackside portability or simultaneous multi-shock bleeding. It’s the workhorse solution for shops with steady, consistent suspension servicing workflows.

Shared Performance Across the LABA7 Range
As you probably understood, all three LABA7 vacuum bleeders are the same in terms of performance.
They all use the same pump for quality bleeding. They also employ the same electronics and have the same big color displays. The screens are not touch-sensitive for a reason.
When bleeding shocks, one can get their gloves oily, and operating a touchscreen would become difficult. That is why we provide pumps with a knob to control the shock bleeder – it has a grippy edge so one can easily choose programs even while wearing oily gloves.
The main differences lie in the usability of each unit.
- MODULE was developed to be as portable and as compact as possible whilst remaining versatile. It is perfect to fit in a truck or a van for out-of-site damper servicing. Operators can have multiple tanks filled with different types of oil and use the one that they need. The tank replacement is super simple.
- DAILY was created for workshops that focus on servicing similar shocks. It has internal tanks but cannot accommodate external ones. Changing the oil in the internal tanks is an automated process so it’s relatively easy to do but not as quick as changing external ones.
- PRO has the biggest internal tanks and an option to connect external tanks. It allows service of many different kinds and sizes of dampers with ease.
