    Default Gas strut suppliers

    I am searching for a supplier of gas struts suitable to use on a blanket box lid. I have been to a few sites on the net but seem to cater only for the automotive industry. I have seen suitable ones on ute toolboxes but they don't have any brand name or manufacturers details.

    G'Day "peajayem",
    You could try Universal Engineers Supplies International Product as they have a big range with all sorts of stroke & pressure ratings.
    They call them "Gas Springs & Support Stays".
    Have a look they may have what you are looking for; I've purchased from them over many years whilst in industry!
    Cheers, Crowie.

    You could also take a look at Aussie Gas Strut. They manufacture a wide range of struts including made to order.

    I would instead of gas struts use so called constant torque hinges. They are adjustable and low profile. See here http://www.reell.com/index.php?page=hinges
