What Are Gas Lift Bar Stools
Mentioned on our website is the term "gas lift" that you may have encountered several times. Some people enquire as to what this means exactly. A gas lift bar stool is one that has a variable height mechanism; the seat can be elevated or dropped to a height anywhere between the highest and lowest reach of the gas cylinder. They can be altered to fit below any surface below the maximum height and raised for children or the smaller individual. The gas lift consists of a hydraulic cylinder that makes up the main stem of the stool and is often sheathed by the footrest. As seen in the Eclipse Bar Stool. The Gas lift mechanism is also a great feature seen used in bar tables as it allows you to use the table at different heights.
How to use a gas lift bar stool
The hydraulic cylinder sits on the wide base and ends beneath the seat, just below the lever. This lever is used to activate the gas lift. Lifting the lever up when sitting on the bar stool will make the bar stool lower slowly until you let go. If it is lifted up whilst no one is on the seat, the bar stool will rise until you let go. Once the lever has been released, the seat will lock in place at the current height. Due to nature of the mechanism the seat will lower by a few centimetres when sat on. This is absolutely normal.
The Vegas Kitchen Stool is one stool which also uses this mechanism. The gas lift will work day in day out and does not need any maintenance at all; there is no need to keep it lubricated, and no need to top it up with gas.
