Gas lifts and cylinders are replacement parts that restore pneumatic height adjustment to office chairs. These components provide a cost-effective maintenance solution for sinking chairs, extending the lifespan of office seating across Kenya.
What Causes an Office Chair to Sink?
A sinking office chair indicates a worn-out gas lift cylinder. The cylinder fails to hold its set height when the internal seals degrade, causing the component to lose pressure throughout the day.
Replacing the gas cylinder restores full functionality and ergonomic support to the chair. This repair is a practical and affordable alternative to buying a new chair for standard task chairs or heavy-duty executive models.
Types of Replacement Gas Lifts and Cylinders
This collection of pneumatic cylinders covers common office chair models used in Kenyan workplaces. The stock includes standard duty, heavy-duty, and various size options to match specific chair requirements.
- Standard Duty Gas Lifts: These cylinders suit most operator, task, and home office chairs and provide reliable height adjustment for regular daily use.
- Heavy-Duty Class 4 Gas Lifts: These components are engineered for higher weight capacities and intensive use, making them suitable for executive chairs, 24-hour, and bariatric chairs.
- Various Size and Stroke Options: Cylinders are available in different lengths and travel ranges to match a chair’s original height specifications and maintain correct workspace posture.
How to Choose the Correct Gas Lift Replacement
Selecting the correct replacement cylinder requires matching three key factors to ensure a proper fit and safe operation. These factors include cylinder dimensions, weight capacity, and stroke length.
- Measure Your Old Cylinder: Measure the diameter of the central column and the overall length when fully extended and compressed. Verifying these dimensions is the most important step for compatibility.
- Confirm Weight Capacity: A heavy-duty (Class 4) cylinder is required for heavier users or chairs constructed from materials like solid wood and leather chairs. Standard lifts can fail prematurely under a high load.
- Match the Stroke Length: The stroke length is the distance the chair travels up and down. A replacement part with a similar height adjustment range helps maintain ergonomic desk alignment.
