If you have a heavy lid on your storage shed, garage, or any other type of enclosure, you know the struggle of trying to hold it open while you access what’s inside. Not only is it inconvenient, but it can also be dangerous if the lid falls and injures someone. That’s where a heavy duty soft down lid support comes in.
The benefits of using a heavy duty soft down lid support
Our heavy duty soft down lid support is designed to provide reliable and effortless support for heavy lids, ensuring that they stay open safely and securely. With a maximum force of 5000 newtons, our gas springs are perfect for use on large storage sheds, garage doors, and other heavy lids. One of the key features of our heavy duty soft down lid support is its soft closing mechanism. When you’re finished accessing what’s inside and it’s time to close the lid, the support gently lowers it to a closed position. This helps to reduce the risk of injury and damage, as well as minimize noise. Additionally, these supports are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, making them ideal for outdoor applications such as garden sheds and storage benches. By ensuring that your heavy lids are properly supported, you can prolong the life of your storage solutions and keep them looking and functioning like new for years to come.
Easy installation
Installing a heavy duty soft down lid support is easy – simply attach the mounting bracket to the lid and the wall, and you’re good to go. Detailed instructions guide you through the steps, ensuring correct alignment and secure fastening. The sleek design of the support system ensures it blends seamlessly with various types of enclosures, from modern garden sheds to traditional wooden storage benches. Additionally, the durable materials used in the construction of the supports are corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance even in outdoor conditions. This ease of installation, combined with robust design, makes our heavy duty soft down lid support a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of applications.
