The 17.2" 90 lb Heavy-Duty Gas Strut Lift Support provides powerful lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, hatches, lids, storage compartments, and access panels.
With a substantial 90-pound force rating, this gas strut is designed for heavier applications requiring significantly more lifting assistance than standard low- and medium-force gas springs.
The strut features 10mm socket-style ends designed to connect to compatible 6mm x 15mm ball studs, providing a straightforward mounting configuration for replacement and new installations.
Its 17.2-inch length combines extended reach with a high-force design, making it useful for larger and heavier doors or hatches where the installation requires both additional strut length and substantial lifting support.
For RVs and motorhomes, potential applications include compatible baggage doors, exterior storage compartment doors, equipment compartments, access hatches, and other heavier hinged panels.
For trailers, this gas spring may be suitable for compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, equipment trailers, utility trailers, concession trailers, and specialty trailers requiring a high-force lift support.
The combination of 17.2-inch length and 90-pound lifting force may also be suitable for compatible automotive, truck, marine, industrial, utility, and specialty-equipment applications.
Gas struts can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability through age and repeated operation. When an existing heavy door or hatch begins to sag, drop, or no longer remain open, replacing the worn support with a correctly matched gas spring can help restore the intended lifting and holding performance.
Because this is a 90 lb high-force gas strut, selecting the correct replacement is particularly important. Too little force may fail to support the application, while excessive force can make a door difficult to close and may place unnecessary stress on the door, hinges, brackets, or mounting points.
For replacement applications, match the force rating, extended and compressed dimensions, socket size, ball-stud dimensions, mounting locations, and installation geometry rather than selecting a gas strut based solely on overall length.
Whether you're replacing a worn heavy-duty RV lift support or supporting a larger trailer hatch, this 17.2" 90 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends provides substantial lifting assistance for compatible applications.

Applications & Compatibility
Designed for compatible applications requiring a 17.2-inch, 90-pound gas strut with 10mm socket ends and 6mm x 15mm mounting studs.
Potential applications include RV baggage doors, motorhome storage compartment doors, trailer hatches, cargo trailer doors, enclosed trailer doors, equipment compartments, storage lids, access panels, automotive compartments, utility equipment, and specialty vehicles.
The 90 lb force rating makes this version particularly suited to compatible heavier applications requiring significantly more support than lower-force 20 lb, 30 lb, 40 lb, or 60 lb gas struts.
Fitment Note: A 90 lb gas strut produces substantial force. Verify the 17.2" length, 90 lb force rating, 10mm socket ends, 6mm x 15mm stud requirements, compressed and extended lengths, mounting points, bracket strength, and installation geometry before ordering.
Marketing Callout
