Comparing Vepagoo Models: Find Your Perfect Match
Vepagoo offers three tailored options in this category, each suited to specific lid weights and uses. Here's how they stack up to help you decide:
- 15-Inch 100N (22.5 lb) Soft-Close Struts (2-Pack): Ideal for lighter lids (18-25 lbs), like toy boxes or small toolboxes. Compact and precise, they provide gentle support without overpowering smaller hatches.
- 15-Inch 300N (67 lb) Soft-Close Struts (2-Pack): Built for medium-heavy lids (34-80 lbs), perfect for larger toolboxes, cabinets, or boat hatches. Offers more power while maintaining the signature slow-close action.
- 20-Inch 667N (150 lb) Gas Struts (LGP8-200-150, 2-Pack): Heavy-duty choice for substantial applications like RV beds, camper shells, tonneau covers, or truck lids. The longer length and high force handle bulky, weighty setups with ease.
Measure your lid's weight and travel distance first: add 50% to the lid weight for accurate strut selection. For lighter duties, start with the 100N model; scale up for RVs or marine use. All models integrate seamlessly into automotive and home projects within our Shocks, Struts & Suspension lineup.
