Whitecap 17" Gas Spring - 60lb - Stainless Steel

The Whitecap 17" Gas Spring - 60lb - Stainless Steel (MPN G-3660SSC) is a heavy-duty pneumatic strut designed for equipment hatches, cargo doors, and storage compartments on tactical vehicles, military platforms, and industrial applications. Built with marine-grade 316 stainless steel construction, this gas spring provides consistent lifting force across a full stroke cycle, making it the go-to choice for operators who require reliable hardware that withstands corrosive field environments and repeated deployment cycles.

This pneumatic strut features a 60-pound P1 force rating with a 17-inch extended length and 10.25-inch compressed length, delivering predictable assist force throughout its travel. The 6mm rod diameter and 15mm tube diameter are engineered for load-bearing stability and durability under high-cycle use. The 316 stainless steel body resists saltwater corrosion, rust, and oxidation far better than standard steel or lower-grade alloys, making it ideal for maritime vessels, amphibious craft, and tactical platforms exposed to harsh environments. The compact profile allows installation in tight spaces while maintaining sufficient stroke travel for full-range access.

Military personnel, law enforcement logistics teams, and vehicle mechanics benefit most from this stainless gas spring when upgrading or maintaining equipment compartments on Humvees, tactical trucks, and field support vehicles. Installation is straightforward—the 6mm rod accepts standard ball-socket end fittings and clevis mounts found in OEM and aftermarket door/hatch hardware. For operators conducting extended field operations where equipment accessibility is mission-critical, the Whitecap 17" gas spring delivers the repeatability and corrosion resistance required for uninterrupted service in saltwater, desert, and high-humidity theaters.
