What are Tool Box Lift Supports?
Tool box lift supports (also known as gas springs or gas struts) are the components responsible for lifting and holding open the tool box lid. These toolbox gas struts use pressurized gas to create the force needed to raise the lid and keep it open. If you notice your lid struggling to stay open, or closing abruptly, it may be time to replace your Tool Box Struts.
What are Truck Tool Box Struts?
Truck tool box struts are specialized gas springs used in truck tool boxes to provide support when opening and closing the lid. These toolbox gas struts make it easier to access your tools without worrying about the lid slamming down. Over time, they may wear out, so regular inspection and replacement are essential to keeping your tool box in good working order.
How to Choose Tool Box Struts？
Choose the ideal Tool Box Struts based on the required gas spring force and length for your application. The table includes all compatible gas springs ranging from 7 inches to 20 inches in length, with force ratings between 10 and 200 lbs.

How to Measure Tool Box Struts ？
To accurately measure and calculate the specifications of your tool box struts, follow these steps:
1.Extend the Tool Box Struts (L)：
Fully extend the tool box lift support to its maximum length. Measure the distance between the center of one eyelet (or mounting point) and the center of the other. This is the extended length of the struts.
2.Compress the Tool Box Struts (A)：
Fully compress the toolbox gas struts to their shortest length. Again, measure the distance from the center of one eyelet to the center of the other. This is the compressed length of the struts.
3.Calculate the Tool Box Struts Stroke (S):
To determine the stroke length, subtract the compressed length from the extended length. The stroke length is the distance the tool box lift support moves between its fully compressed and fully extended positions.
4.Measure Tool Box Struts Diameter (d/D)
Record the diameter of your tool box gas struts. This includes the rod diameter and the canister diameter. For example, if the rod diameter is 8mm and the tube diameter is 18mm, note the strut diameter as 8/18.
Proper measurement of tool box struts is essential for selecting or replacing the tool box lift support in your tool box. Correct sizing ensures your struts will function efficiently, providing the necessary support and durability.
