Vehicles get old, and their lift supports lose the original charge, and therefore in many cases are not able to support the weight of the bonnet, boot lids, back windows, back doors, hatches, tonneau covers, lids, tool box covers and beds that they are supposed to carry.

Advantages

• Controlled Movement – the rate of motion of the spring is controlled by using special engineering techniques to slow or “damp” the shaft/rod movement, to a predetermined rate.
• Measured force in Newtons to pre-determined tolerances.
• Variable distances of movement of spring.
• Long working life of gas springs.
• Space efficient – gas springs require minimal space for housing within a mechanical environment.
