Premium Heavy Duty Trucks Struts for Hood Replacement

Easier, Safer Hood And Tailgate Lift

High-strength gas struts provide powerful lift support, allowing heavy truck hoods, tailgates, and cargo doors to open smoothly and stay securely in place, minimizing accidental drops, injuries, or damage.

Durable & Versatile Design

Featuring standard ball or metal hinge connectors, heavy-duty struts can be quickly replaced without special tools. Their simple design requires minimal maintenance, reducing overall operating costs.

Durable and Reliable in Harsh Conditions

With thick steel cylinders, corrosion-resistant coatings, and high-quality seals, these struts perform reliably in extreme temperatures, dust, rain, and snow, offering a longer lifespan than standard struts.

Modern heavy-duty trucks (like those from brands such as Kenworth, Volvo, Freightliner, International or Peterbilt) have large, heavy engine hoods. Manually lifting and holding such hoods — or relying on basic prop-rods — can be inconvenient, potentially unsafe, or simply impractical for frequent maintenance. That’s where heavy-duty hood struts come in.

By replacing or upgrading the original mechanism with a dedicated heavy-duty trucks struts, drivers and mechanics get smooth, controlled, and stable hood operation, even under demanding conditions. The heavy-duty struts from GASTAC are engineered specifically for trucks and large vehicles: they provide the lifting force, stability, and durability needed for heavy engine hoods.
