The 20" 80 lb Heavy-Duty Gas Strut Lift Support provides strong lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, hatches, lids, storage compartments, and access panels.
With an 80-pound force rating, this gas strut is designed for heavier applications requiring substantially more lifting assistance than standard light- and medium-duty gas springs.
Its 20-inch length provides extended reach for larger doors, hatches, and compartment panels where the mounting geometry requires a longer lift support.
The strut features 10mm socket-style ends designed to connect to compatible 8mm x 18mm ball studs, providing a convenient 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 heavier 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 and 80-pound force can also make this gas strut useful for compatible automotive, commercial vehicle, utility, industrial, and specialty-equipment applications requiring substantial lifting assistance.
Gas struts can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability with age and repeated operation. If an existing baggage door, compartment lid, or trailer hatch begins to sag, drop, or no longer stay open, replacing the worn support with a correctly matched gas spring can help restore its intended lifting and holding performance.
Because this is an 80 lb high-force gas strut, proper fitment is especially important. Insufficient force may fail to support the application, while excessive force can make the door difficult to close or place unnecessary stress on hinges, mounting brackets, ball studs, and surrounding structures.
When selecting a replacement, match the force rating, compressed and extended dimensions, socket size, ball-stud dimensions, mounting locations, and installation geometry rather than relying on overall length alone.
Whether you're replacing an RV baggage door gas strut or adding support to a heavier trailer hatch, this 20" 80 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends and 8mm x 18mm Studs provides long reach and heavy-duty lifting assistance for compatible applications.

Applications & Compatibility
Designed for compatible applications requiring a 20-inch, 80-pound gas strut with 10mm socket ends and 8mm x 18mm mounting studs.
Potential applications include RV baggage doors, motorhome storage compartment doors, trailer hatches, cargo trailer doors, enclosed trailer doors, toy hauler compartments, equipment doors, storage lids, access panels, utility equipment, and specialty vehicles.
The combination of 20" length and 80 lb force makes this version particularly suitable for applications requiring extended reach with substantial lifting assistance.
Important Fitment Note: Verify the 20" length, 80 lb force rating, 10mm socket ends, 8mm x 18mm stud requirements, compressed length, extended length, mounting locations, bracket strength, and installation geometry before ordering. Similar-length gas struts with different force ratings or mounting hardware are not necessarily interchangeable.
