Full details

This Car Lift Support Gas Spring Strut is designed for DIY enthusiasts, automotive restorers, and hobbyists needing reliable motion control for hinges, lids, and canopies. Its primary benefit is providing consistent, controlled force for lifting and counterbalancing heavy components, though users should note that the 44lb force rating is fixed and requires careful calculation of the weight load for specific applications to ensure safe operation.

FAQs

Can I adjust the force of this strut?

No, the 44lb force is factory-set and cannot be adjusted by the user.

Does this strut come with installation hardware?

No, this package includes only the gas spring strut; you will need to source appropriate mounting brackets separately.

What is the compressed length of this unit?

While the total length is 320mm, users should measure their specific mounting stroke requirements to ensure it fits the travel distance of their project.

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, it is designed for use in environments like boats and trailers, though regular cleaning is recommended to prevent corrosion.

Is it safe to compress the strut by hand?

It is difficult to compress by hand due to the 44lb force rating; it is intended to be installed on a levered component which provides the necessary mechanical advantage.

Troubleshooting

The strut does not hold the load in place

Verify that the total weight of the object is within the 44lb limit and check that the mounting geometry provides proper leverage.

Strut feels stiff or jerky

Clean the exposed rod with a dry, lint-free cloth and ensure the mounting points are aligned correctly to prevent binding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable, consistent lifting force
  • Durable metal construction
  • Standardized dimensions for easy integration
  • Versatile range of automotive and marine applications

Cons

  • Fixed force rating cannot be adjusted
  • Does not include mounting brackets
  • Limited to specific weight applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your mounting points are secure and capable of handling the force of the strut. It is recommended to mount the strut with the rod pointing downward when the assembly is in the closed position to maintain internal seal lubrication. For maintenance, keep the rod clean of debris and grime to prevent seal damage. If the strut begins to lose force, avoid using oil-based lubricants on the rod, as these can degrade the rubber seals over time.
