Force rating and intended use
This gas spring delivers a 40kg force rating and a 175mm tube length, making it suitable for lifting, holding or counter-balancing horizontally hinged doors, lids, hoods and canopies in garage or workshop settings. The metal construction and black silver finish provide durability for repeated cycles. It is not designed for vertical overhead lifting or applications that exceed the stated force.
Critical fit dimension
The 175mm tube length is the single specification that determines whether this strut will mount correctly in your existing hinge points; measure the centre-to-centre distance of your current installation before ordering. An incorrect length will prevent the door or lid from opening fully or closing securely. No alternative lengths are included in this package.
Package contents and readiness
The box contains one gas spring weighing 215g with no additional brackets, end fittings or mounting hardware supplied. You must reuse or source compatible end connectors separately to complete the installation. The unit arrives ready to function once the correct fittings are attached.

Questions about this item
What does the 40 kg force rating mean when the spring is installed on a lid?
It provides up to 40 kg of lifting force to hold a horizontally hinged door or canopy open without additional support.
How does the 175 mm tube length limit where the spring can be mounted?
The 175 mm tube length sets the minimum distance between mounting points so the spring can fully extend and compress.
What hole size and clearance does the 8 mm rod need for installation?
The 8 mm rod requires a matching 8 mm pivot hole and enough clearance for the 175 mm tube to swing freely.
