Whether you are dealing with extreme weather conditions, dusty environments, or uneven floors, construction equipment must meet the highest requirements. This is what HAHN gas springs and dampers are designed for – they allow for everything from robust construction to precise control. And we don’t compromise on quality when it comes to accessories, either. Therefore, wherever dampened lifting, easy opening, or gentle closing of panels and hatches is required in construction equipment, our products ensure reliable, convenient, and safe movements.
Do you have extreme requirements? We have just what you need!

Our gas springs are designed for extreme conditions. Thanks to high-temperature seals rated up to +200 degrees and low-temperature seals rated down to -40 degrees, they can offer maximum reliability. Special seals ensure maximum comfort despite vibrations. HAHN gas springs are available in 304 and 316 steel and stainless steel and offer the right solution for every application – from mini gas springs in dimensions 2–6 to 4–12 to heavyweight gas springs in dimensions 20–40 to 30–65 rated up to 10,000 N. In addition, our gas springs with protective tubes can withstand damage and increase longevity.
Applications
Ergonomically equipped cabs
Construction equipment should be easy to operate. HAHN gas springs allow for the quick and easy positioning of armrests, steering wheels, and joystick columns as well as the opening and closing of cabin windows and doors. It also helps that our gas springs can be custom adjusted for optimum comfort and efficiency.

Driver's seat for comfortable seating
Do you think that driving construction equipment can never be comfortable? Think again! HAHN oil dampers in the driver's seat ensure comfortable seat damping as they slow down and neutralize jerky movements. And because the spring characteristics of our gas springs and dampers can be individually adjusted to the driver's body weight and the underlying terrain, the driver's seat is optimally dampened for more comfort and occupational safety. The backrest can also be flexibly adjusted using our locking gas springs.

Play it safe with panels and maintenance hatches
Modern machines and commercial vehicles have numerous panels, including maintenance hatches, that must be able to be opened and closed safely. HAHN gas springs offer optimal weight compensation and prevent uncontrolled closing even for heavy side panels. An additional locking tube secures the panels in the open position. The panel may only then be closed by activating the locking device. Our heavy-duty gas springs are able to show what they're made of when lifting the entire driver's cab.
