The 20" 11 lb Gas Strut Lift Support provides controlled lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, lids, hatches, storage compartments, and access panels requiring a longer gas spring with relatively light lifting force.
With an 11-pound force rating, this gas strut provides gentle lifting assistance for lightweight applications where a high-force gas spring isn't necessary or desirable.
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 20-inch length offers extended reach compared with shorter gas struts, making it particularly useful for larger but lightweight doors, lids, and access panels where mounting locations require a longer lift support.
For RVs and motorhomes, potential applications include compatible storage compartment doors, baggage doors, cabinet lids, access panels, and other lightweight hinged components.
For trailers, this gas spring may be suitable for compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, utility trailers, equipment trailers, concession trailers, and specialty trailers.
The combination of a 20-inch length and 11-pound force rating can also make this lift support useful for compatible automotive, truck, marine, industrial, utility, and specialty-equipment applications.
Gas struts can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability with age and repeated use. When an existing door, hatch, or lid begins to sag or no longer remains open, replacing the worn support with a properly matched gas spring can help restore the intended lifting and holding performance.
When selecting a replacement, matching the 20-inch length alone is not enough. The force rating, compressed and extended dimensions, socket size, ball-stud dimensions, mounting points, and installation geometry should all be verified.
Whether you're replacing an existing RV compartment lift support or adding assistance to a lightweight trailer hatch, this 20" 11 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends provides extended reach with controlled, low-force support.
