Description
Overview:
This damper/gas strut is a robust, gas-charged support designed to control the lifting and closing of panels, lids, guards, and access doors on construction and garden machinery. Built around a durable steel cylinder with a strong steel piston rod and a hard-wearing finish, it delivers smooth, controlled motion and dependable holding force. The unit measures 380 mm (15 inches) at full extension and 260 mm (10.2 inches) when compressed, making it a practical replacement where these lengths are specified. It helps prevent slamming, reduces shock loads on hinges and fixings, and improves day-to-day usability of equipment. Suitable for machinery such as mowers, compact plant, generators, chippers, and site equipment enclosures where reliable lift-assist and damping are required.
