A gas spring with a shroud eliminates the need for separate safety rods in critical lift assist applications. They positively lock when fully extended, protecting the operator from potential injury in the event of overload or misuse.
Simple to use, they operate automatically. When the gas spring is fully extended, a spring-loaded locking shroud moves into place, preventing the gas spring from compressing. The shroud is manually released by applying thumb pressure to the designated area of the lock, allowing the gas spring to compress in a controlled manner.
The locking shroud is finished with the same epoxy coating as the gas spring body, providing excellent corrosion resistance. A guide inside the shroud prevents scratching of the gas spring cylinder.
The Econoloc range of gas springs combine superior quality with the added safety feature required in many heavy-duty applications, such as trucks, construction machinery, switch gear and agricultural equipment. Eliminates the need for separate safety rods in critical lift-assist operations.
