Tired of wrestling with heavy doors, windows, or hatches on your ute, caravan, or trailer? Trailer Parts Direct has the solution! We offer a comprehensive range of high-quality gas struts, brackets, and accessories to make life on the road a breeze.

This blog post delves into everything you need to know about gas struts, from their key features and benefits to choosing the perfect size for your application.

Unmatched reliability and performance: Why choose Trailer Parts Direct gas struts?

At Trailer Parts Direct, we understand the importance of reliable components for your off-road adventures. That’s why we offer premium gas struts built to endure the harsh Australian conditions. Here’s what sets our gas struts apart:

Australian-Made quality

We proudly manufacture our gas struts right here in Australia. This ensures exceptional quality control and a product specifically designed for Aussie conditions.

Rigorously tested for peak performance

Every gas strut undergoes a gruelling 20,000-cycle testing process and a 150-hour salt spray exposure test. This guarantees durability and smooth operation, even when exposed to dust, dirt, and coastal environments.

Built to last

Our gas struts feature a brass-guided shaft for smooth operation and a well-oiled seal that offers superior corrosion resistance. This translates to long-lasting performance you can rely on.

Safety first

Your safety is our priority. Our gas struts boast an additional backup seal and a built-in dampening mechanism. This prevents sudden closure and ensures a controlled lifting and lowering experience.

Selecting the right gas strut size: Finding your perfect fit

We offer a variety of gas strut sizes and weight capacities to cater to your specific needs.

Here’s a breakdown of key factors to consider when choosing the right size:

Weight capacity

Measure the weight of the lid, door, or window you need to lift. Our gas struts are available in various force ratings, measured in Newtons (N), to handle different weights.

Strut length

For optimal performance, choose a gas strut with a full extension length of approximately 60% of the height of the lid or window you want to support.

Mounting distance

Accurately measure the distance between the mounting points on your application. This helps determine the required force rating for efficient lifting.
