It is supplied as a matched pair with M6 threaded ball joints and 4x steel L brackets for a strong, practical installation. This setup is intended for heavier external lids where balanced lift assistance and predictable closing matter. It works well on storage, vehicle and workshop applications where repeated opening cycles are common.

Large tool chest and van storage lids Plant and generator access covers Outdoor box lids and service hatches Trailer storage compartments Workshop and maintenance enclosures Lid Matching Guide Recommended lid depth: 800–1200mm Suitable lid weight (lid only): 80–140kg Use these figures as a starting point. Final performance will depend on hinge location, bracket geometry, opening angle and how the lid weight is distributed. What to Check Before You Choose If the lid drops under its own weight, the selected force is too low. If the lid feels difficult to shut, the selected force is too high. Always base selection on the lid-only weight, not the full box or enclosure weight. Confirm that there is enough internal clearance for the strut body and bracket movement. If your lid has a short opening arc or light front edge, a lower rating than 800N may provide easier closing. Installation Notes Use one gas strut on each side of the lid. Position the upper fixing point roughly 20–30% from the hinge line. Mount the lower bracket to a rigid frame, inner wall or structural side panel. For proper operation, the struts should remain slightly compressed when the lid is fully closed. Correct mounting geometry improves opening control, reduces stress on hinges and helps the pair work evenly across both sides.
