For over 150 years, the Lucas name has stood for trusted automotive innovation. That same commitment to quality and durability is built into our comprehensive range of gas springs, developed to meet the demands of the modern aftermarket while carrying forward our heritage as one of the UK’s original automotive brands.
With Lucas Gas Springs, independent motor factors and workshops can deliver OE-level performance with the strength of a heritage brand customers already know and trust. Designed to reduce comebacks, simplify fitting, and maximise customer confidence, Lucas ensures every lift and close is safe, smooth, and reliable.
Lucas Gas Springs are engineered to the strictest IATF 16949:2016 standards. These deliver OE-matching performance and a long service life across automotive, industrial, agricultural, marine, and material handling applications.
All Gas Springs are subject to a 50,000 cycle endurance test and are engineered to perform in all temperatures from -30°C to +80°C with predictable force variation.
Gas Springs may be a new addition to the ELTA portfolio, but they’re backed by the same commitment to quality, performance, and reliability that defines every product we offer.
