Automotive Gas Springs For Hoods, Tailgates, And Vehicle Compartments

Gas Struts For Vehicle Access And Storage Panels

Automotive gas springs support hoods, tailgates, trunks, camper compartments, service vehicle panels, specialty vehicle hatches, and custom storage lids. They provide controlled lifting assistance and help keep panels open during loading, inspection, or maintenance.

OEM Vehicle Gas Spring Selection

Vehicle gas strut projects should define panel weight, hinge position, opening angle, stroke, mounting points, end fittings, temperature exposure, vibration, corrosion conditions, and required quantity. LX Gas Spring can review drawings or samples for custom OEM vehicle applications.

Gas Spring For Hood, Tailgate, And Service Vehicle Compartments

A gas spring for hood support, a rear tailgate strut, and a service vehicle compartment strut may use different force curves, bracket angles, end fittings, damping behavior, and corrosion protection even when the extended length looks similar. OEM buyers should separate replacement-sample work from new vehicle platform development.

Vehicle Hood Gas Spring Selection Guide

Vehicle gas springs cover hood struts, tailgate struts, trunk supports, camper panels, and service vehicle compartments. A gas spring for hood support should be checked for temperature range, vibration, safety during maintenance, and fit with the existing brackets.
