The 17.2" 30 lb Gas Strut Lift Support provides controlled lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, lids, hatches, storage compartments, and access panels.
With a 30-pound force rating, this gas strut delivers moderate lifting assistance for applications requiring more support than lower-force gas springs while maintaining smooth, controlled movement.
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 provides additional reach compared with shorter gas struts, making it especially useful for larger doors, hatches, and compartment lids where mounting locations require a longer lift support.
For RVs and motorhomes, potential applications include compatible baggage doors, exterior storage compartment doors, cabinet lids, access panels, and other hinged components requiring assisted opening and holding support.
For trailers, the gas strut may be suitable for compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, utility trailers, equipment trailers, concession trailers, and specialty trailer applications.
The combination of 17.2-inch length and 30-pound lifting force can also make this gas spring useful for compatible automotive, truck, marine, industrial, utility, and specialty-equipment applications.
Gas struts can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability through age and repeated use. If an existing compartment door or hatch begins to sag, drop, or no longer remain open, replacing the worn lift support with a correctly matched gas spring can help restore its intended operation.
For replacement applications, matching the overall length alone isn't enough. The force rating, extended and compressed dimensions, socket size, ball-stud dimensions, mounting locations, and installation geometry should all be verified.
Whether you're replacing a worn RV baggage-door strut or adding support to a trailer hatch, this 17.2" 30 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends provides extended reach and reliable lifting assistance for compatible applications.
