Description
Overview:
The Thwaites Rops Gas Strut - T100225 is a heavy-duty gas-charged support used on construction and garden machinery to control lifting and holding of frames and panels. Built with a robust metal body and sealed cylinder, it provides smooth, controlled movement and helps prevent sudden drops when opening or closing structures. Often used on roll-over protective structures (ROPS), engine covers, and access guards, it helps maintain safety and stability during routine operation and servicing. Designed for tough site conditions, it suits daily use in plant hire and contractor fleets. It is commonly fitted to Thwaites MACH 294 and MACH 420 machines, offering a reliable, like-for-like replacement to restore proper support where the original gas strut has weakened or failed.
Key Features:
- Durable metal construction for consistent performance in demanding environments
- Sealed gas spring provides smooth, controlled extension and compression
- Helps prevent sudden closure of panels and frames to support safer handling
- Direct replacement fitment to reduce downtime during maintenance
- Stable support for ROPS frames, covers, and service access points
- Suitable for frequent use on construction sites and in landscaping work
- Compact form factor with strong end connections for secure mounting
- Low maintenance design with long service life when correctly installed
Typical Applications:
Used to assist lifting and holding of ROPS frames, engine hoods, access doors, guards, and canopies on Thwaites machinery. Common in daily plant use, including site dumpers and related equipment working on building sites, highways jobs, landscaping, and agriculture. Ideal for restoring controlled movement and safe support where the original strut no longer holds weight effectively.
