Gas struts are a crucial component of HERMEQ's forklift tipping skips and teleskip systems. When damaged, often by misaligned forks or hard impact, these components can prevent the skip from locking onto the forks properly, creating a safety and operational risk. The solution is fast and straightforward — replacing the strut with a compatible model like this one.
This 430mm gas strut fits directly onto the HERMEQ auto lock tipping skip models, allowing the skip to remain secured to the forks during movement and tipping. Because struts play a role in the lock-and-release action, their condition directly affects whether the skip stays safely in place or not. A degraded or damaged strut can delay operations or force a skip out of commission altogether.
The 30mm width offers structural strength and compatibility, while zinc or black finishes may vary depending on batch availability. Installation is quick, allowing your maintenance team to fit the replacement in under 15 minutes. There’s no need to disassemble major parts or remove the skip from service for long. A simple bolt-off and bolt-on process restores functionality.
