Recommended Lid Weight & Installation Guidance
Force Rating: 300N per strut (600N total per pair)
Recommended Lid Weight: Suitable for lids approximately 30–54kg when using a pair of struts.
(Actual performance depends on hinge position, lid material and mounting geometry.)
Recommended Mounting Position:
- Fit one strut on each side of the lid for balanced lifting.
- Mount the top fixing around 20–30% down from the hinge line on the lid panel.
- Fix the lower bracket about 100–160mm below the top inside edge of the box frame (adjust to suit internal depth).
- Ensure the strut is slightly compressed when fully closed to maintain preload.
⚠ If the lid is heavier than 54kg, a higher force rating may be required.
⚠ If the lid is lighter than 30kg, the struts may feel too strong and push the lid upward.
Secure Threaded Ball Joint System
This set uses an M6 threaded ball joint end that passes through the bracket hole and tightens with a nut, giving a rigid, low-flex installation on wood, reinforced plastic or light metal frames.
Smooth and Controlled Lid Support
With 300N per strut (600N combined), these gas struts help prevent sudden lid drops and reduce stress on hinges, making the lid safer and easier to handle.
