✅ 250N Heavy-Duty Lift: Reliably supports 25kg (55lbs) for large kitchen lift-ups, car tailgates & RV lockers.
✅ Smooth Motion Control: Nitrogen damping prevents slamming and holds heavy lids securely open at the top.
✅ Rust-Resistant Finish: QPQ nitrided rod & powder-coated cylinder designed to withstand outdoor & moisture exposure.
The Lift Support Gas Spring 250N is a robust motion control device engineered for medium-to-heavy applications requiring approximately 25kg (55lbs) of lifting force. It serves as the perfect "middle-ground" solution—stronger than standard cabinet struts but more manageable than heavy industrial springs.
Designed for high-cycle environments, this 250n gas strut is widely used as a replacement for automotive tailgate/boot lifters, heavy glass-fronted kitchen cabinets, and RV exterior storage hatches. Colewell utilizes a QPQ nitrided piston rod and multi-lip sealing technology to ensure the 250N pressure remains stable over years of daily use, even in outdoor conditions.
| Force Rating | 250N (Newton) ≈ 25.5kg / 56lbs. Tolerance: ±10N. A critical specification for lids that are too heavy for standard 100N/150N struts. |
| Material Build | Cylinder: Precision Steel Pipe (Spray Painted or Galvanized). Rod: QPQ Nitrided Steel (Black) or Hard Chrome (Silver) for friction reduction. |
| Damping | Hydraulic End Damping: Slows down the extension speed at the end of the stroke to prevent the hatch from snapping the hinges. |
| Operating Temp | -20℃ to +80℃. (Extreme temp models -40℃ to +120℃ available for engine bays). |
We precisely charge each gas spring 250n to ensure it holds 25kg loads securely. Perfect for replacing worn-out struts that no longer hold the lid open.
The QPQ surface treatment on the piston rod offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard chrome, making it ideal for RV exterior lockers and marine use.
ISO 9001 & TS 16949 Certified. Our manufacturing process ensures that every 250N strut meets automotive industry standards for safety and longevity.
• Length: Custom stroke and extended lengths to match your old part.
• Connectors: Wide range of Ball Studs, Eyelets, and Clevis Forks available.

Glass/Wood Lift-Ups: Ideal for wide or heavy material cabinet doors where standard 100N struts fail to hold the door open.

Replacement Parts: A common force rating for hatchback boot lids and estate car tailgates. Restores the "like-new" lifting feel.

Wind Resistance: The 250N force helps hold large exterior storage hatches open even in breezy conditions at the campsite.

Access Panels: Used for lifting protective covers on photocopiers, 3D printers, and light machinery.

250N output is ideal for medium-heavy lids where 150N struts fail to hold.

Hydraulic damping prevents the lid from bouncing or slamming at the end.

Tested to 30,000+ cycles. Thick-walled cylinder resists deformation under load.

Compatible with standard mounting brackets for furniture and automotive use.

Simple clip-on or screw-on connectors make replacement quick and easy.

Sealed nitrogen system requires no maintenance or refilling.

Colewell is committed to producing high-quality 250N gas struts using eco-friendly processes. Our advanced manufacturing facility ensures precise force calibration and strict quality control.
We partner with major automotive and furniture brands to deliver reliable lift solutions that stand the test of time.
A: A single 250N strut can support approximately 25kg (55lbs). However, struts are usually used in pairs, so two 250N struts can lift a lid weighing around 50kg, depending on the hinge position.
A: Yes, if you find the 200N struts are too weak for your lid. However, ensure the lid isn't too light, or the 250N struts might make it difficult to close.
A: Yes, our standard painted steel struts are durable. For marine or highly corrosive environments, we recommend our Stainless Steel versions.
A: Measure the fully extended length from the center of one ball stud to the center of the other. Also, check the force rating (N) printed on the side of your old strut.
