Gas Strut Regassing
When gas struts lose pressure over time, they can become unreliable and even dangerous. If the strut body and seals are still in good condition, regassing is a quick, affordable way to restore their strength without replacing the whole unit.
We will fully inspect your struts, check for internal leaks, and recharge them to the correct pressure for smooth, safe operation. Regassing is ideal for automotive struts, furniture, marine hatches and more. Our efficient service helps minimise downtime — book your regassing with us today!
Custom Strut Solutions
When a standard strut just won’t fit or perform the way you need, we offer custom gas strut solutions designed just for you. We work with your measurements, pressure requirements and application needs to create a strut that’s a perfect match.
Whether it’s for modified vehicles, heavy-duty machinery, furniture installations, aviation, mining or marine projects, custom struts are built reliably. We will guide you to make sure you get a durable, safe and efficient solution. Talk to us about custom options — we will help you get it right the first time.
Strut Refurbishment
Instead of replacing damaged or ageing gas struts, refurbishment offers a cost-effective way to extend their life. If the outer body is intact and the internal damage is minimal, we can clean, reseal and restore the strut to optimal working condition.
Our technicians inspect for corrosion, check seal integrity and replace worn components where needed. Refurbishment is ideal for machinery, marine equipment and more. Save time and money — ask us if your struts are suitable for refurbishment today.
Trade Services
We offer reliable gas strut solutions for trades and businesses across various industries, including automotive, marine, industrial and fabrication. Our struts and components are built for professional performance and durability, making them ideal for daily commercial use.
All services are completed at our Mackay workshop. Simply bring in your parts or equipment and our team will take care of the rest. We stock a wide range of strut sizes and fittings to support bulk orders and ongoing trade supply. Reach out to discuss how we can help streamline your operations with dependable, expert service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is gas strut regassing and how does it work?
Gas strut regassing is the process of restoring the internal pressure of a gas strut that has lost its force over time. Gas struts are sealed units filled with compressed gas (usually nitrogen), which provides the necessary pressure to support or lift hatches, lids, or other components in vehicles, furniture, marine equipment, and industrial machinery.
When the internal pressure drops, the strut loses its effectiveness and may no longer function properly. Regassing involves discharging any remaining gas, pressure testing the strut, and refilling it to the correct specification.
This must be done by a trained professional using the correct equipment, as struts are high-pressure components that require careful handling and calibration.
How do I know if my gas struts need regassing?
There are several clear signs that your gas struts may need regassing. If the hatch, lid, or panel they support is sagging, difficult to lift, or fails to stay open, the struts are likely under-pressurised. You might also hear a hissing sound, or notice that the motion feels weak or uneven.
In many cases, the struts won’t show visible damage but will have lost internal pressure over time due to wear and environmental factors. It’s important not to ignore these signs, as weakened struts can pose safety risks. A professional technician can test the pressure and determine whether regassing is possible or if a replacement is needed.
Can gas struts be regassed or do they need to be replaced?
Whether a gas strut can be regassed or needs to be replaced depends on its condition. If the strut is in good physical shape and free from dents, corrosion, or internal damage, it can usually be regassed by a professional. However, if the seals have failed, the shaft is bent, or the casing is damaged, the strut cannot be safely reused and will need to be replaced.
An inspection by a trained technician is the only way to confirm whether regassing is a viable option. Attempting to assess or service a strut yourself can be dangerous and is not recommended.
