Hatchlift Products RV Bed Lift Kit - Queen Size, 20" x 80 lb Gas Struts for Smooth Assisted Under-Bed Access

Hatchlift RV Bed Lift Kit (Queen) is a heavy-duty gas-strut system engineered to lift and hold standard queen RV bed platforms, converting under-bed storage into accessible, secure space with smooth, assisted opening and closing.

This adjustable Hatchlift kit supplies two 20" x 80 lb. gas shocks plus all mounting hardware and wood blocks to retrofit most standard queen-size RV beds that use a particle board deck. It’s built for new installations on compatible platforms and designed to make under-bed storage easier to reach while keeping the mattress platform stable when raised.

Will this Hatchlift kit work with my RV queen bed?

The BLK-QUEEN kit fits standard queen RV platforms that lift as a single deck and mattress assembly and that use moderate-weight particle board decks. It is not a universal replacement for factory springs and will not work with foam-only mattresses or beds that have been modified with toppers.

• Includes two 20" x 80 lb. gas springs suited to standard queen decks.
• Compatible with beds where deck and mattress lift together—measure inside compartment first.
• Not compatible with bunk beds, radius beds, side-loads, or fixed-base slide-out beds.
• Order for the bed you currently have, not planned future mattress upgrades.

How difficult is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation requires basic woodworking and mechanical skills; it’s intended for new RV installations rather than simple spring replacement. The kit contains hardware and wood blocks, but you’ll need common tools and careful measurements to position the mounting points correctly.

• Requires drill, wrench set, measuring tape, and woodworking tools for block placement.
• Follow layout instructions precisely—incorrect placement can affect lift performance.
• Plan for two people to handle the heavy deck safely during fitting.
• Professional installation recommended if you’re not comfortable with mechanical assembly.

What are the performance and safety features of the gas shocks?

The two included gas struts are rated at 80 lb. each and provide steady, reliable assistance when opening and holding the bed deck. They smooth motion, reduce strain on hinges, and help keep the storage area locked open while you access contents.

• 20" length gas shocks with 80 lb. lift rating each for balanced support.
• Durable construction meant for regular RV use and heavy lids.
• Helps prevent sudden closure and supports the deck in the raised position.
• Requires correct alignment and secure mounting for safe operation.

What should I measure and verify before ordering?

Measure the internal compartment and deck configuration before purchasing to ensure proper fit and operation. Partial platform beds and unconventional layouts require exact inside dimensions to confirm the BLK-QUEEN kit will perform correctly.

• Measure inside compartment width, depth, and deck thickness.
• Confirm the mattress type—foam-only mattresses are not compatible.
• Verify that the mattress and deck lift together as a single unit.
• Do not buy for future planned mattress toppers or upgrades.

Who is this for: RV owners with a standard queen-size lifting bed who want a durable, gas-assisted lift solution to make under-bed storage easier to access. Choose this kit if your bed deck is a moderate-weight particle board platform, you can perform or hire a professional for a woodworking-style installation, and you need reliable 80 lb. gas shocks for balanced support. Avoid this kit if you have a foam-only mattress, bunk or side-load configuration, radius bed, or a slide-out base that doesn’t lift with the mattress platform.
