The tailgate damper is one of the best innovations for trucks and really should be part of the basic equipment of every vehicle. It ensures that the tailgate can be opened easily. The gas pressure spring prevents the tailgate from opening uncontrollably. This increases comfort, protects the tailgate latches and hinges and reduces the risk of injury. The flap can be easily unlocked with one hand and no longer needs to be held when opening. An advantage not to be underestimated when p. Ex. Holds cargo or bags in hand. Even children who open the tailgate by themselves can no longer be injured so easily if the tailgate falls down. The damper only works when the tailgate is opened; no noticeable additional force is required when closing. Unlike spring-based solutions, the tailgate always fully opens on its own and does not need to be pushed down manually. Shock absorbers are maintenance free and do not require readjustment. Particularly with trucks used in commercial use, vehicles are often not driven very carefully. If the tailgates are simply allowed to protrude over time this will damage the tailgate brackets and this can lead to costly repairs and vehicle failure. Also, the tailgate may fall onto objects or a loading ramp when it is opened. This can damage the flap and objects. Also, a tailgate that opens slowly and with a cushioning effect seems much more valuable than a tailgate that is only held by safety ropes.
