Gas struts are a crucial component of HERMEQ's forklift dump dumpsters and teleskip systems. When damaged, often by misaligned forks or hard impact, these components can prevent the dumpster 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 17 in gas strut fits directly onto the HERMEQ auto lock dump dumpster models, allowing the dumpster 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 dumpster stays safely in place or not. A degraded or damaged strut can delay operations or force a dumpster out of commission altogether.
The 1.2 in 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 dumpster from service for long. A simple bolt-off and bolt-on process restores functionality.
