Aluminum X-Strut

Light-weight, but heavy-duty

The Aluminum X-Strut® is our most popular pinned stabilization and lifting strut, built from 6061-T6 aluminum and boasting close to a 10,000 working load limit with a 2:1 Safety Factor, without adding significant weight. This workhorse of a strut is designed for heavy vehicle stabilization and lifting applications. We recommended the Aluminum X-Strut® for departments who see a lot of highway responses involving larger vehicles, or for those who want the added security of a heavy-duty strut.

Shown with Add-on Jack (ALX-JACK). This jack is made specifically for the Aluminum X-Strut® with a 6,000 lb lifting capacity and a 2: 1 safety factor. Weight: 25 lbs.

SWIVEL CRG HEAD FITTING

ON-BOARD RATCHET STRAP

BASE-MOUNTED D-RINGS
