Powerdown Gas Spr.L518 X 960N
Powerdown gas springs (gas struts) provide controlled compressed-gas resistance for heavy truck bonnet, access panel and cab door support. A working gas spring holds the bonnet or panel open securely while the driver or technician inspects the engine bay or performs maintenance. A failed gas spring allows the bonnet to drop without warning - a genuine injury hazard in any workshop or roadside maintenance environment.
Gas springs have a finite service life. The internal gas charge gradually leaks over time, reducing the spring force until the bonnet no longer stays open reliably. Replacement is straightforward and eliminates a significant safety risk.
- Provides controlled and reliable bonnet/panel support for safe inspection and maintenance access
- Available in a range of extended lengths and force ratings to suit different bonnet and panel weights
- Eliminates the safety hazard of a bonnet or panel dropping during maintenance or roadside inspection
- Straightforward direct replacement - no modification required for OEM mounting points
- Correct gas spring force specified for panel weight to hold securely at full extension
Signs your gas spring needs replacing: Bonnet or panel will not stay open under its own weight, requires propping open with a stick or rod, operates more slowly than normal, or visible oil contamination on the piston rod. Replace immediately - a dropped bonnet causes serious injury.
