Co-Lift DLX Pneumatic Assist
Product Overview
Pneumatic assist pistons that cut heavy hot tub cover lifting effort in half.
In our experience, standard manual lifters struggle once large 7 to 8-foot spa covers absorb moisture and weigh upwards of 50 to 70 lbs. The Life Essentials Co-Lift DLX Pneumatic Assist integrates heavy-duty gas pistons directly onto the frame, significantly reducing physical strain during operation. Designed specifically for the Co-Lift DLX lifter system, this upgrade requires the Co-Lift DLX Side Mount for proper installation and alignment.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always install the pistons with the shaft pointing downward in the resting position; this keeps the internal seals lubricated with oil and extends the piston lifespan by 2 to 3 years.
Common Questions & Instructions
Does this kit include the mounting brackets?
No, this kit includes only the pneumatic assist pistons. It requires the Co-Lift DLX Side Mount bracket kit for complete installation and proper mechanical alignment on your spa cabinet.
How much weight reduction do these pneumatic pistons provide?
The dual gas shocks offset approximately 50% to 60% of the cover's operational weight, making heavy 8x8 ft foam core covers feel significantly lighter during open and close cycles.
How long do hot tub pneumatic lift pistons typically last?
Under normal spa operation (opening 3 to 5 times per week), quality nitrogen gas charged pistons provide reliable lifting force for 4 to 6 years before gradual pressure loss occurs.
