The 20" 30 lb Gas Strut Lift Support provides controlled lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, hatches, lids, storage compartments, and access panels.
With a 30-pound force rating, this gas strut provides moderate lifting assistance for applications requiring more support than lower-force gas springs while avoiding the resistance of heavier-duty lift supports.
Its 20-inch length provides extended reach for larger doors, hatches, and compartment lids where the mounting geometry requires a longer gas spring.
The strut features 10mm socket-style ends designed to connect to compatible 8mm x 18mm ball studs, providing a straightforward mounting configuration for replacement and new installations.
For RVs and motorhomes, potential applications include compatible baggage doors, exterior storage compartment doors, access panels, equipment compartments, and other hinged components requiring assisted opening and holding support.
For trailers, this gas spring may be suitable for compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, utility trailers, equipment trailers, concession trailers, and specialty trailer applications.
The combination of a 20-inch length and 30-pound force rating can also make this lift support useful for compatible automotive, truck, marine, utility, industrial, and specialty-equipment applications.
Gas struts naturally lose pressure and lifting ability through age and repeated use. If an existing compartment door, lid, or trailer hatch begins to sag or no longer remains open, replacing the worn support with a correctly matched gas spring can help restore its intended lifting and holding performance.
For replacement applications, matching the overall length alone isn't enough. The force rating, compressed and extended dimensions, socket size, ball-stud dimensions, mounting points, and installation geometry should all be verified.
This model uses an 8mm x 18mm stud configuration, so customers replacing a similar 20-inch gas strut should pay particular attention to the mounting hardware. Other gas struts of similar length and force may use different stud dimensions and are not automatically interchangeable.
Whether you're replacing an RV baggage-door lift support or adding assistance to a trailer hatch, this 20" 30 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends provides extended reach and dependable lifting assistance for compatible applications.
