Why You Need Tail Assist
Ute tailgates are heavy — often over 20kg. Repeatedly lifting them causes back strain, wrist injury, and cargo damage from uncontrolled drops. The HSP Tail Assist system uses hydraulic gas struts to gently dampen the tailgate's lowering motion and reduce the effort needed to lift it back up.
Perfect For
- Tradies making dozens of tub access trips daily

- Anyone tired of the "slam" of a heavy tailgate
