The 12" 60 lb Heavy-Duty Gas Strut Lift Support provides strong lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, lids, hatches, storage compartments, and access panels.
With a 60-pound force rating, this gas strut delivers significantly more lifting force than lighter-duty supports, making it suitable for compatible applications involving heavier doors, lids, and panels.
The strut features 10mm socket-style ends designed to attach to compatible 6mm x 15mm ball studs, providing a convenient mounting configuration for replacement and new installations.
Its 12-inch size combines a compact overall footprint with a higher force rating, making it useful for applications where installation space is limited but substantial lifting assistance is required.
For RVs and motorhomes, this gas strut may be used on compatible baggage doors, storage compartment doors, access hatches, equipment compartments, and other heavier hinged panels.
Trailer applications may include compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, equipment trailers, utility trailers, concession trailers, and specialty trailers with doors, lids, or hatches requiring additional lifting support.
The gas spring can also be used in compatible automotive, truck, marine, industrial, utility, and specialty-equipment applications requiring the same length, force rating, and mounting configuration.
Gas struts can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability through age and repeated use. A heavy compartment door that previously stayed open may begin dropping or require manual support. Replacing a worn strut with one matching the original specifications can help restore the intended lifting and holding performance.
Because this is a 60 lb high-force gas strut, selecting the proper force rating is especially important. An incorrectly rated gas spring may make a door difficult to close or provide inadequate support.
When replacing an existing lift support, verify the force rating, extended and compressed dimensions, socket size, mounting-stud dimensions, and mounting geometry rather than selecting a replacement based solely on overall length.
Whether you're replacing a worn heavy-duty lift support or installing one on a new application, this 12" 60 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends provides substantial lifting assistance in a compact package.

Applications & Compatibility

Potential applications include RV baggage doors, motorhome storage compartments, trailer hatches, cargo trailer doors, storage lids, access panels, automotive compartments, utility equipment, and specialty vehicles.
The 60 lb force rating makes this version better suited to compatible heavier applications than lower-force 10 lb, 15 lb, or 20 lb versions.
Fitment Note: A 60 lb gas strut produces substantial force. Verify the 12" length, 60 lb force rating, 10mm socket ends, 6mm x 15mm stud requirements, compressed and extended lengths, mounting locations, and installation geometry against the original strut or application before ordering.
