Frequently Asked Questions
Our gas spring calculator finds the right gas spring for your flap, lid or trailer ramp: simply enter the dimensions and weight – the tool calculates the recommended extension force F1, the order length and the mounting points, including an interactive sketch and simulation.
- Select how it opens: ramp folds down (e.g. horse trailer tailgate), flap opens from bottom to top, or lid opens upwards (e.g. storage box, bonnet).
- Describe the flap: length, width, thickness and weight – the weight can be calculated automatically from the dimensions and material (wood, plastic, aluminium, steel etc.). Plus opening angle, number of gas springs (a pair is recommended) and the desired operating force.
- Mounting points: for a replacement spring, three measurements taken with the flap closed are enough: the eye-to-eye length of the installed spring (which is also the order length!) plus dimensions B and C from the hinge centre. For a new installation, the tool automatically suggests the best points.
- Result: recommended force F1 per spring, overall length, required stroke and all mounting dimensions (incl. 10 % safety margin) – with a printable mounting sketch and matching gas springs from our range.
Note: the calculation is a selection aid and does not replace a professional on-site check.

Product Overview
Gas springs, often referred to as gas struts, gas lift supports, or gas shocks, are vital for the functionality of many caravan and motorhome components. These pneumatic springs are engineered to deliver consistent force, making them ideal for applications such as roof hatches, drawbar flaps, gas box covers, and lift beds. Our selection includes gas lift cylinders suitable for a range of models and specific uses, ensuring you find the right fit for your needs.
Key Features & Benefits
Each gas spring in our assortment is designed for durability and smooth operation. The use of high-quality materials ensures long service life and resistance to corrosion, even in demanding environments. Gas lift supports help minimize manual effort, reduce strain on hinges, and provide controlled movement to prevent accidental slamming. Their robust construction offers reliable performance, enhancing both safety and convenience for users.
Selection Guide
Choosing the correct gas spring depends on the application and required support force. Consider factors such as the weight of the panel or hatch, mounting style, and length between fixing points. Our range includes options suitable for roof windows, drawbar flaps, and lift beds, with various force ratings and connection types. If you are unsure which gas lift cylinder fits your needs, consult your vehicle’s specifications or seek expert advice for optimal compatibility.
Applications
Gas springs and their variants are commonly used in caravans and motorhomes for roof hatches, skylight windows, drawbar flaps, and lift beds. They are also suitable for gas box covers and other compartments requiring controlled movement. By integrating the right gas lift support, you ensure ease of use, improved safety, and extended component lifespan. Explore our range to find reliable pneumatic springs for your specific application.
