The 20" 60 lb Heavy-Duty Gas Strut with Blade Ends provides strong, controlled lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, hatches, lids, storage compartments, and access panels.
With a 60-pound force rating, this gas spring provides substantial lifting assistance for applications requiring greater support than lighter-duty gas struts. It's particularly useful for compatible heavier doors and hatches that require assistance during opening and support while in the raised position.
The 20-inch length provides extended reach for larger doors, hatches, and compartment panels where mounting geometry requires a longer lift support.
Unlike socket-end gas struts, this version features blade-style ends, making the mounting configuration an important consideration when selecting a replacement. Customers should match the end style and mounting dimensions to their existing application.
The strut is designed for compatible 8mm x 18mm mounting studs, providing a specific mounting configuration for replacement and new installations.
For RVs and motorhomes, potential applications include compatible baggage doors, exterior storage compartment doors, equipment compartments, access hatches, and other hinged panels.
For trailers, this heavy-duty gas spring may be suitable for compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, utility trailers, equipment trailers, toy haulers, concession trailers, and specialty trailers.
The combination of 20-inch length, 60-pound force, and blade-style ends can also make this gas strut useful for compatible automotive, commercial vehicle, utility, industrial, and specialty-equipment applications.
Gas springs can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability through age and repeated use. If an existing door, lid, or hatch begins to sag, drop, or no longer stay open, replacing the worn support with a correctly matched gas strut can help restore its intended operation.
For replacement applications, matching overall length alone is not enough. Customers should verify the 60 lb force rating, blade-end configuration, mounting-stud dimensions, compressed and extended lengths, mounting locations, and installation geometry.
Whether you're replacing a worn RV baggage door gas strut or adding lifting assistance to a trailer hatch, this 20" 60 lb Gas Strut with Blade Ends provides extended reach and heavy-duty lifting support for compatible applications.
