Description
Overview:
This non-genuine door gas strut is a replacement for JCB backhoe loader cab doors, designed to replace OEM reference 331/66778. Built with a strong steel body and a hard-wearing black corrosion-resistant finish, it supports and controls the opening and closing of the door on site and in daily use. The strut is intended for the JCB 2CX and 3CX families, helping to hold the door securely in the open position and reduce slamming when closing. It is suitable for routine maintenance or repair when the original strut has weakened or failed, and is designed to work with the existing mounting points on compatible machines for a straightforward swap-over.
Key Features:
- Non-genuine replacement for OEM 331/66778 for cost-effective upkeep
- Steel construction with a durable black coated finish for resistance to wear and corrosion
- Smooth, controlled motion to reduce door slam and improve operator safety
- Helps hold the cab door open for safe access and ventilation
- Designed to fit existing mounting points on compatible JCB models
- Quick installation with standard hand tools
- Reliable performance for construction, agriculture, plant hire, and municipal use
- Low maintenance design; wipe clean and inspect during routine servicing
- Suitable as a like-for-like replacement when the original strut is weak, leaking, or broken
Typical Applications:
Replacement door support on JCB 2CX and 3CX series machines used on building sites, roadworks, utilities, farms, and depots. Ideal for restoring correct door operation after wear, impact damage, or loss of damping. Helps maintain safe access to the cab during daily checks, loading, or frequent entry and exit in stop-start tasks.
