The 27" 40 lb Gas Strut Lift Support provides controlled lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, hatches, lids, storage compartments, and access panels requiring additional reach with moderate lifting force.
With a 40-pound force rating, this gas strut provides dependable lifting assistance for applications that need more support than lighter gas springs without the resistance of a higher-force heavy-duty lift support.
Its extended 27-inch length makes this gas spring particularly useful for larger doors and hatches where mounting points are positioned farther apart or the application 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 hinged panels requiring assisted opening and holding support.
For trailers, this gas spring may be suitable for compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, utility trailers, equipment trailers, toy haulers, concession trailers, and specialty trailer applications.
The combination of 27-inch length and 40-pound lifting force can also make this lift support useful for compatible automotive, truck, commercial vehicle, utility, industrial, and specialty-equipment applications.
Gas struts can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability with age and repeated operation. When an existing baggage door, storage compartment, or trailer hatch begins to sag, drop, or no longer remain open, replacing the worn support with a correctly matched gas spring can help restore its intended operation.
When selecting a replacement gas strut, overall length is only one part of proper fitment. The force rating, compressed and extended dimensions, socket size, ball-stud dimensions, mounting locations, and installation geometry should also be verified.
Whether you're replacing an RV baggage door gas strut or adding lifting assistance to a larger trailer hatch, this 27" 40 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends and 8mm x 18mm Studs provides extended reach with moderate lifting support for compatible applications.

Important Fitment Note: Verify the 27" length, 40 lb force rating, 10mm socket ends, 8mm x 18mm stud requirements, compressed length, extended length, mounting locations, and installation geometry before ordering. Gas struts with the same overall length may use different force ratings or mounting hardware and are not necessarily interchangeable.
