Recommended Lid Weight & Installation Guidance
These 300mm 300N gas struts are suitable for lids approximately 30–54kg when correctly installed. Actual lifting performance depends on hinge placement, lid material and mounting geometry.
Recommended Mounting Position
- Install one strut on each side of the lid
- Mount approximately 20–30% down from the hinge on the lid panel
- Position the lower L bracket around 120–250mm 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 correct preload tension
⚠ Force guidance: 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.

This kit includes 4x heavy-duty 90° L brackets and is recommended for:
- Tool boxes with reinforced internal frames

⚠️ Note: For standard flat-panel lids or minimal internal clearance, a mixed mounting kit (2x L + 2x Flat brackets) may be more suitable.
