ARANA engineered the ANANA C16-08053 pair for heavy lids where each strut supplies 80 lb (356N) of force; together they provide balanced assistance for lids weighing approximately 80–112 lbs with side lengths of about 25–40 inches. The product ships as two struts and omits mounting brackets, so surface compatibility and correct measurements are essential before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these gas struts improve opening and closing of a tanning bed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen installed correctly, the dampened gas inside each strut reduces the effort required to lift the lid and prevents sudden slams on closing. The result is a controlled motion that protects hinges, electrics, and users from abrupt movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides 356N (80 lb) force per strut for smoother lifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompresses and extends to control speed and stop unwanted slams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for heavy lids, reducing strain on hinges and frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo struts included to balance force symmetrically across the lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these struts fit my tanning bed, RV, or storage compartment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese shocks match a wide range of cross-reference numbers (71794, C1608053, ML34-80 and others) and are commonly used on tanning beds from several manufacturers as well as RV and trailer lids.

These ARANA ANANA C16-08053 gas struts suit owners of tanning beds, RVs, travel trailers, fiberglass toppers, or storage compartments who need reliable, medium-heavy lift assistance. Choose them if your lid weight falls within the suggested range (80–112 lbs) and you have or can install compatible mounting brackets. Avoid purchasing if your lid dimensions or mounting configuration differ significantly — measure weight and mount spacing first to ensure correct fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do these gas struts include mounting brackets?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, brackets and ball studs are not included; you must use existing mounts or buy compatible hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What lid weight and length do these struts support?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Each strut supplies 80 lb force; ideal lid weight 80–112 lbs and side lengths about 25–40 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"ARANA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48086282469534,"sku":"B07C7WSNRJ","price":43.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/arana-anana-front-packaging.jpg?v=1785893623","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/arana-gas-struts-20-inch-80-lb-pair-for-tanning-beds-19-69-extended-smooth-dampened-lift","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
