Adjustable Force Gas Strut
Our adjustable force gas strut- Vari-Lift can be set to meet your exact requirements in a wide range of situations. The key benefit of this type of gas strut is that the force adjustments can be made with the gas strut fitted to the application, saving you both time and effort.

Fixed Force Stainless Steel Compression Gas Struts
Our most popular gas strut – the ‘Swift and Sure’ – is also available in stainless steel. This makes them ideally suited for use in harsh environments, such as access doors to offshore wind turbines, marine engine covers, doors, hatches, plus applications requiring high levels of cleanliness like the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries.

Safety Locking Gas Strut with Shroud
Our safety shroud gas struts eliminate the need for separate safety rods. They positively lock when fully extended, protecting the operator from potential injury in the event of overload or misuse. The shroud must be actively pressed to release the lock and ensures safety.

Friction Locking Compression Gas Struts
Our Stop and Stay, and Stop and Stay+ products work by counterbalancing the weight of the application over the full stroke of the gas strut. This process enables precise, multi‐position positioning at all times. Unlike a standard gas strut, when correctly set it will not move the application, but simply support it in the existing position. In doing so, this gives the user complete control over the position of the object and how it is moved at all times.
The Stop and Stay, and Stop and Stay+ range of products are Friction Locking Compression Gas Struts that use the principle of counterbalancing to keep the weight of the application evenly distributed over the full stroke of the gas strut. This allows for precise, multi-position positioning at all times, without the concerns of the object moving out of place.

Locking Gas Struts
Our range of locking gas struts perform like conventional gas struts, with the addition of a special internal locking valve that allows the strut to be stopped in any position. Common applications for our locking gas struts include height and angle adjustment of seats on aircraft, buses, trains, specialist vehicles and on military vehicle seating.

Hydraulic Dampers
We specialise in hydraulic damper solutions for a wide range of sectors and industries. Our dampers are bespoke to each application and are used to control or arrest movement in the most critical and demanding of applications. If movement needs to be controlled, an object stopped or vibration eliminated, this is likely the product you need.

Telescopic Stay
The cam‐stay is simple to use telescopic stay that provides a variety of multi-positional options. This solution is ideally suited for a wide range of applications where a weight must be held or supported at various angles. This is a cost-effective alternative to a gas strut where positional control is required and is suited to situations where the mass of the item is being held is low.
