The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Gas Spring 90 Lb designed for the CT36 and CT48 walk-behind concrete trowel series, as well as the CRT48 ride-on concrete trowel line. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring consistent performance and a straightforward installation. This spring fits an extensive range of CT36, CT48, and CRT48 models, making it a widely applicable service part for contractors and concrete finishing crews running Wacker Neuson trowel equipment.
Key Features
- Calibrated 90 Lb Spring Rate: — Delivers the correct resistance and extension force required for proper hood or guard operation on CT and CRT trowels — a mismatched spring rate compromises both function and operator control.
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this gas spring meets the same compression and damping specifications as the part originally installed on the machine.
- Broad CT and CRT Trowel Compatibility: — Fits CT36-5A, CT36-6, CT36-8A, CT36-9, CT36-9-V, CT36-X, CT48-8A, CT48-9, CT48-11A, CT48-13A-V, and multiple CRT48 power steer models, covering a large portion of the Wacker Neuson concrete trowel lineup.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to match the original mounting points and travel length, allowing technicians to swap the unit without modification to surrounding hardware.
- Sustained Hood Control: — A properly functioning gas spring holds engine hood or guard assemblies securely in the open position during service, protecting operators from uncontrolled closure during maintenance work.
A gas spring is a sealed pneumatic cylinder that uses compressed gas to provide controlled, consistent extension force — replacing the unpredictable resistance of a conventional coil spring in applications where smooth, sustained lift is needed. On Wacker Neuson CT and CRT concrete trowels, the gas spring typically supports the engine hood or service access panel, holding it open at a fixed position while operators or technicians work on the machine. When a gas spring loses pressure or the internal seal fails, the hood or panel can drop unexpectedly, creating a safety hazard and making routine maintenance significantly more difficult. Replacing a worn or leaking gas spring with the correct 90 Lb unit restores safe, hands-free access to the engine compartment.
