How to Tell if Your Lift Support Needs Replacing.

• Your lift support is beginning to wear-out when the gate or hood is difficult to lift, begins to sag when it’s in an open position, or can’t be held into position without some other propping device. This is very dangerous!

• All lift supports eventually have to be replaced because they have a small gas-charge which naturally escapes over time through the lift support seal.

• Lift supports generally wear-out in 5-7 years. Extremes in weather (extreme hot or cold) or abnormally excessive opening or closing will shorten the life of your lift support.
