Heavy Duty Truck

Large, vibration tolerant, debris, and corrosion-resistant solutions are developed and serviced through ASRaymond’s standard product offering and custom engineered and manufactured solutions.

Vehicles Using Raymond® Mechanical Struts

Raymond® Mechanical Struts are a robust counterbalance product that are utilized in many of the hood and access panel applications on vehicles, both on- and off-road, such as:

• Semi-Tractor Trailers
• Wheel Loaders
• Many other equipment types / vehicles

Raymond’s robust solutions provide longevity in some of the harshest environments. The core technology employed solves industry problems such as low temperature compatibility and vibration difficulties with hydraulic orifices. As safety and operational allowances become more stringent ASRaymond haa been able to provide solutions that keep handle loads conforming to new requirements.

Where 100 pounds of effort to open a hood or panel was previously acceptable, new requirements of 30 pounds, or even as little as 15 pounds, might be required. Let ASRaymond provide the right solution for whatever the application requires.

Interior Vehicle Safety

SPD™ Standard Gas Springs (commonly referred to as Gas Struts) and Standard Dampers make up cab interior ergonomic and safety support, and locking for folding and rotating elements. SPD engineered hardware, such as Hinges and Latches, complete the components other than stamped sheet metal in a multitude of applications.

As an example, the improvement of ergonomics in an articulating shelf can be achieved to better conditions for operators in extended usage.

The material and finishing capabilities allow for multiple solutions, such as a high-performance, corrosion resistant stainless steel or a cost-effective coated steel. No matter if customers need one strut to test and develop or thousands for OEM production, consider ASRaymond.
