Trailer Door Gas Struts | Gutter Machine Trailer Use | Custom Fabrication Component
Heavy-Duty Lift-Up Trailer Door Gas Struts
The same heavy-duty gas struts GutterAll uses on its gutter machine trailer setups, sold separately for customers and qualified fabricators building their own custom lift-up trailer door systems.
GAS STRUTS ONLY
TRAILER CONVERSION COMPONENTS AND INSTALLATION ARE NOT INCLUDED.
This product is not a complete trailer door conversion kit. Purchasing these gas struts does not include a hinge, brackets, mounting hardware, fabrication, structural modification, installation, fitment guidance, or engineering services.
What Is Included
Heavy-duty gas struts only.
These are the heavy-duty gas struts GutterAll uses when building its own lift-up gutter machine trailer door setups. Nothing else is represented as part of this product.
Not Included
- Trailer door hinge
- Mounting hardware
- Mounting brackets
- Welding or fabrication
- Structural reinforcement
- Installation
- Trailer modification
- Fitment, calculations, engineering, or mounting-location services
Every Trailer Is Different
Trailer door weight, dimensions, center of gravity, hinge design, frame construction, desired opening angle, available mounting space, and attachment geometry vary from one trailer to another.
GutterAll does not determine whether these gas struts fit an individual trailer. GutterAll does not calculate mounting locations, select hinges or brackets, determine structural reinforcement, approve trailer modifications, or provide engineering for an individual installation.
A qualified trailer fabricator is responsible for determining whether these struts are appropriate for the specific trailer and for designing, sourcing, fabricating, installing, and testing the complete lift-up door system.
The Gas Struts GutterAll Uses on Lift-Up Gutter Trailer Setups
GutterAll uses these heavy-duty gas struts as one component of its own professionally fabricated lift-up gutter machine trailer door setups. They are offered separately for customers who already have a qualified fabricator responsible for the trailer design.
In a properly designed lift-up trailer door system, gas struts can provide extension force that assists with lifting and supporting the moving door. Whether a particular gas strut is appropriate depends on the door and trailer geometry, which is why this product is sold as a component rather than as a universal conversion package.
The completed trailer conversion shown in example photos may demonstrate how GutterAll uses gas struts in a gutter machine trailer, but the other components visible in those photos are not included with this product.
Important: Example Trailer Photos Show the Application, Not the Product Contents
Photos showing a completed lift-up gutter trailer door are examples of how gas struts can be incorporated into a professionally fabricated system. Hinges, brackets, fasteners, reinforcement, trailer modifications, gutter machines, doors, and other visible components are not included unless separately purchased from another source.

Why Gutter Contractors Use Lift-Up Rear Doors
On a gutter machine trailer, a traditional ramp door can occupy the same ground area where crews need to stand and where seamless gutter sections exit the machine. Some contractors therefore choose to have a qualified trailer fabricator redesign the rear door to open upward.
In the completed systems where these struts are used, the raised door can move out of the rear production path and may provide overhead shade or limited cover. Those benefits come from the complete engineered trailer-door system—not from the gas struts by themselves.
This listing provides only the gas strut component GutterAll uses. Everything required to turn a trailer door into a properly designed lift-up assembly is the responsibility of the purchaser and qualified trailer fabricator.
Common Application Contexts
| Application | Important Requirement |
|---|---|
| Gutter machine trailers | Qualified fabricator must determine whether the gas struts are suitable for the specific trailer door and design. |
| Custom lift-up enclosed trailer doors | Door structure, hinge, mounting points, reinforcement, and hardware must be independently engineered and fabricated. |
| Mobile contractor trailers | Trailer dimensions and door geometry must be evaluated before gas-strut installation. |
| Replacement strut projects | The installer must independently verify that the replacement strut specifications are appropriate for the existing system. |
| Custom mobile workshop builds | The fabricator remains responsible for application engineering, structural safety, and final testing. |
How Gas Struts Work in a Lift-Up Door System
Gas struts—also called gas springs, gas lifts, lift supports, or gas shocks—use pressurized gas to create extension force through a piston rod.
When properly selected and incorporated into a professionally designed moving-door system, that extension force can assist with counterbalancing the door during opening and support the intended motion of the assembly.
The correct gas-strut force, stroke, mounting points, attachment angles, hinge location, structural strength, and safety restraints depend on the individual application. Those determinations are not included with this product and must be handled by the qualified trailer fabricator.
What This Product Is — and What It Is Not
Gas Struts
The actual lift-support gas struts used by GutterAll in its own gutter trailer setups. This is what the buyer is purchasing.
Not a Hardware Kit
No hinge, brackets, mounting plates, bolts, fasteners, reinforcement, or other trailer-conversion hardware is promised or included.
Not a Fitment Service
GutterAll does not determine whether the struts fit a particular trailer and does not provide mounting-location or engineering calculations.
Not an Installation Service
Welding, fabrication, structural modification, reinforcement, installation, and testing are the responsibility of the qualified trailer fabricator.
Quick Decision Summary
Buy this product only when the gas struts themselves are what is needed. This listing does not provide the rest of a trailer door conversion. A qualified trailer fabricator must independently determine suitability, mounting, structural requirements, hinge design, hardware, installation, and final safety testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with this product?
The gas struts only. No hinge, brackets, mounting hardware, welding, fabrication, structural reinforcement, installation, trailer modification, fitment service, or engineering service is included.
Is this a complete lift-up trailer door conversion kit?
No. This is not a complete conversion kit and it is not a bolt-on trailer modification package. This listing is for the heavy-duty gas struts GutterAll uses on its own gutter machine trailer setups and nothing else is promised or included.
Will GutterAll tell a buyer where to mount the struts or whether they fit a particular trailer?
No. Every trailer is different. GutterAll does not determine mounting locations, hinge requirements, structural modifications, force requirements, or compatibility for individual trailers. A qualified trailer fabricator is responsible for the complete design, fitment, installation, and testing.
Why does GutterAll use these gas struts on gutter machine trailers?
GutterAll uses these heavy-duty gas struts as part of its own professionally fabricated lift-up trailer door setups. In a properly engineered system, gas struts can assist with lifting and supporting the moving door. The complete conversion requires additional structure, hinge hardware, brackets, fabrication, and installation that are not included with this product.
