Introduction
In industrial design, a one-size-fits-all approach rarely delivers optimal results. Whether you’re working in manufacturing, transport, or agriculture, each application demands unique performance metrics. This is where Schutts Industrial excels offering custom gas strut solutions that align with your exact technical and operational requirements.
Why Go Custom?
While standard gas struts cover many general-use scenarios, custom applications may involve non-standard weights, movements, or environmental challenges. For instance, the door of a food processing machine might need a gas strut with corrosion-resistant materials, while a mining truck hood might require a high-pressure gas strut to support extra weight.
Schutts Industrial’s Customization Process
At Schutts Industrial, the customization process is driven by three core values: precision, durability, and application-fit.
1. Consultation
Engineers at Schutts consult with customers to determine the specifications: stroke length, compressed/extended length, force in Newtons, damping requirements, and end fittings.
2. Prototyping and Testing
Custom gas struts are manufactured and tested rigorously. Whether it’s a single prototype or a full production run, quality control is a top priority.
3. Post-Sale Support
Schutts doesn’t stop at delivery. Their team is available to offer ongoing maintenance tips, pressure recharging, and advice on replacements.
Industries Served
1. Transport and Automotive
Gas struts are used in car boots, bonnets, tailgates, and utility trays. Schutts provides custom gas struts that can withstand frequent use and harsh weather.

4. Office and Retail Fit-Outs
Schutts Industrial even provides gas struts for cabinetry, counters, and pop-up displays, proving their versatility across sectors.
Benefits of Custom Gas Struts
- Exact Force Matching: Reduces wear on components and ensures safety.
- Aesthetic Integration: Suitable for visible applications where form matters.
- Increased Longevity: Tailored materials increase lifespan in demanding settings.
Why Schutts Industrial is the Right Choice
Few companies match Schutts Industrial in experience, technical expertise, and product range. Their in-house team works with manufacturers, tradespeople, and engineers across Australia, offering not just products, but long-term solutions.
Sustainability and Efficiency through Customization
Another often-overlooked benefit of customized gas strut solutions from Schutts Industrial is their role in promoting sustainability and operational efficiency. By precisely matching the gas strut’s force and stroke to the application, businesses can reduce energy waste, minimize component wear, and extend the lifespan of their machinery. This not only lowers the total cost of ownership but also aligns with environmentally conscious engineering practices. Schutts Industrial’s commitment to delivering the right strut for the right job helps industries move toward greener, smarter operations without compromising on performance or safety.
Conclusion
If your project calls for a specific gas strut design, there’s no need to compromise. Trust Schutts Industrial for custom gas strut solutions that provide lasting value, operational ease, and unmatched performance. The difference between a generic and a custom gas strut is often the difference between good and exceptional design.
