Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HY 2040528 gas spring and what is it used for?
A: The HY 2040528 is an OEM gas spring for Hyster electric lift trucks, designed for compartment cover or access panel assist applications. It provides controlled opening assistance and dampened closing to prevent pinch hazards and operator fatigue in daily equipment operations.
Q: What are the specifications of the HY 2040528 gas spring?
A: The HY 2040528 features a 16.75-inch extended length, high-strength steel tube construction with a hardened steel rod, ball socket end mounts for articulation, and a corrosion-resistant coating. These specifications are matched to Hyster compartment mounting interfaces.
Q: Why is the HY 2040528 marked as having air shipping restrictions?
A: The HY 2040528 contains pressurized nitrogen gas and is classified as a hazardous material by DOT and international transport regulations. It cannot be shipped by air and must be transported by ground or water carrier only.
Q: What Hyster models or compartment types use the HY 2040528?
A: The HY 2040528 is engineered for specific Hyster electric lift truck compartment applications using OEM part number 2040528. Verify your equipment model and compartment design against Hyster documentation to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: How long does a gas spring like the HY 2040528 remain serviceable?
A: Gas springs typically remain serviceable for 5 to 10 years or 50,000 to 100,000 open-close cycles, depending on duty cycle and storage temperature. Replace if the compartment falls too quickly, does not hold position, or the rod shows visible pitting or corrosion.
Q: Is the HY 2040528 available under any other part numbers?
A: The HY 2040528 carries OEM part numbers HY 2040528 and Hyster 2040528. Cross-reference identically to avoid receiving an incompatible spring with different pressure rating or mounting geometry.
