What is a gas lift
A gas lift is a type of pneumatic piston used to raise or lower office chairs and other furniture. The gas lift consists of a cylinder, which contains a piston, and a base. The piston is actuated by gas pressure, usually from a canister of compressed air. When the gas pressure is released, the piston returns to its original position, lowering the chair or furniture.
Some office chairs have a manual override for the gas lift, which allows the user to lower or raise the chair without using the gas lift. Other chairs have a locking mechanism that prevents the gas lift from being used.
