Gas struts are a crucial component of HERMEQ's forklift dumping hoppers and teleskip systems. When damaged, often by misaligned forks or hard impact, these components can prevent the hopper from locking onto the forks properly, creating a safety and operational risk. The solution is fast and straightforward — replacing the strut with a compatible model like this one.
This 17in gas strut fits directly onto the HERMEQ auto lock dumping hopper models, allowing the hopper to remain secured to the forks during movement and dumping. Because struts play a role in the lock-and-release action, their condition directly affects whether the hopper stays safely in place or not. A degraded or damaged strut can delay operations or force a hopper out of commission altogether.
The 1.2in width offers structural strength and compatibility, while zinc or black finishes may vary depending on batch availability. Installation is quick, allowing your maintenance team to fit the replacement in under 15 minutes. There’s no need to disassemble major parts or remove the hopper from service for long. A simple bolt-off and bolt-on process restores functionality.
