Overview
A high-force genuine Stabilus Lift-O-Mat gas strut for heavier caravan doors, tailgates and storage lids — 600N of lifting force over a 200mm stroke for lids that need real assistance to lift and hold open.
Common questions
Is 600N too much for an ordinary hatch?
Probably, yes. At 600N this is built for heavy lids — think a steel canopy door or a big storage hatch. Put it on a light alloy locker and the lid will fly open, strain the hinges and refuse to stay shut. Match the force to the weight.
Struts of the same length come in different force ratings — how do I pick?
Length and stroke decide where it fits; force decides whether the lid behaves. Get the length from the strut you are removing, then choose force by weight. Same fitting, very different feel. Going a step too strong is the more common mistake, and the harder one to live with.
Which way up should it be fitted?
Rod pointing down, in almost every case. That keeps the seal at the bottom sitting in oil, which is what stops it drying out and losing pressure early. Fitted rod-up a strut still works, it just will not last as long. Sort the orientation before you bolt the other end up.
