Crafted in the UK: The Nitrolift Difference
Since 2003, Nitrolift, a proud part of SGS Engineering Ltd, has been revolutionising the gas strut market. We saw a need for a UK-based manufacturer that could deliver an exacting standard of quality and value, all with next-day dispatch. While imported gas struts can mean a wait of weeks, Nitrolift customers can get their strut delivered tomorrow, built precisely to their specification. Our core principles remain unwavering: high-quality products, delivered quickly, and backed by a fantastic UK-based customer service team that's always here to help. When you choose Nitrolift, you're guaranteed a premium product at great value, all of which undergo our most stringent quality and performance checks.
Designed and Manufactured by Nitrolift
Every single Nitrolift gas strut is designed and produced at our manufacturing facility in Derby. Our dedication to quality and unparalleled customer support has made us the UK's leading manufacturer. With our vast experience in precision engineering, our product range has expanded far beyond simple car gas struts to include a wide variety of applications, from beds and outdoor bars to kitchens, horsebox trailers, and caravans. In fact, we can create a solution for anything that requires a slow closing or opening device. We even stock modern solutions like Tesla gas struts, electronic struts, and dampeners to future-proof our range. By controlling the entire supply and manufacturing process, we can offer a high-quality product at a consistently low price. We’re constantly testing and improving our range with the help of our dedicated Derby-based R&D team.
Our Promise: Engineering Excellence
As a manufacturer, we're experts at spotting engineering excellence and build quality. We only stock products that we trust, test, and respect, guaranteeing that every order you receive from us is something special. We carry out pre-delivery inspections on the majority of our products, so you can be confident that a trained technician has evaluated it before it even reaches you. Your product will arrive promptly and ready for years of reliable service
Trusted by Iconic UK Projects
Nitrolift products are used widely across the UK by DIY enthusiasts, businesses, and large organisations alike. We're incredibly proud to work alongside some of the country’s most skilled tradespeople and contribute to landmarks that are a part of the UK's heritage. Our gas struts are used in storage receptacles within the London Underground, the world's oldest underground railway system. High-performance Nitrolift struts were used as part of a canopy for the JCB Dieselmax, the car that holds the world diesel-powered land speed record. We've supplied SGS Nitrolift gas struts for the skylights within the new Wembley Stadium, the largest stadium in the UK. British-made Nitrolift gas struts can even be found on the maintenance hatches of the iconic BT Tower in London.
