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
550mm length / gas springs are engineered to provide reliable lifting and controlled motion for a range of applications, particularly in horse trailer tailgates and similar heavy-duty uses. These gas struts, also referred to as lift supports, spring dampers, gas lift cylinders, or pneumatic springs, are designed for optimal performance, ensuring both safety and ease of use. The available models in this category offer varying force ratings to accommodate different load requirements, making them suitable for a wide spectrum of tasks.
Key Features & Benefits
These spring dampers deliver consistent force and smooth motion, reducing the effort required to open or close heavy panels. Their robust construction guarantees durability and long service life, even under demanding conditions. The gas lift cylinders are engineered for minimal maintenance and straightforward installation, making them a practical choice for both professional and personal use. Enhanced safety is achieved through controlled movement, minimizing the risk of sudden drops or uncontrolled closure.
Selection Guide
When choosing the right 550mm gas spring, consider the specific force requirement for your application. Select from different pressure ratings to match the weight of the panel or tailgate you need to support. Ensure compatibility with your mounting points and check the stroke length to guarantee proper fit and function. If you require assistance in selecting the correct pneumatic spring, consult our detailed product descriptions or contact our support team for expert advice.
Applications
These 550mm gas springs are ideal for use in horse trailer tailgates, vehicle hatches, industrial machinery covers, and other applications where controlled lifting and lowering of heavy components are essential. Their versatility and reliability make them a preferred solution for both commercial and personal projects requiring dependable gas lift support.
