Automatic Boot Opener
Automatic Boot Opener
These adaptations convert a standard manual rear boot hatch into an automatic rear boot hatch. There are a few different varieties available for specific vehicles and requirements. Each of these variations are similar but do have distinct differences. For this reason it is always a good idea to contact us for help figuring out which may work best for your situation.
Electric Tailgate Lift (SmartHatch)
The SmartHatch replaces the original gas springs of the tailgate with electric motors allowing you to remotely open the tailgate at the press of a button on a remote key fob or the original key fob.
This boot opener features a Soft close function and an Acoustic signal when opening and closing the boot.
Electric Boot Opener (RGS)
The RGS operates in a very similar way to the SmartHatch, replacing the original gas springs of the tailgate with electric motors allowing you to remotely open the tailgate at the press of a button on a remote key fob or the original key fob.
This version is only available for vehicles with a powered boot closing latch (Larger boot lids with this product will fail to shut with this product). In these cases we recommend the Pneumatic Boot Opener or the ATG below.
Pneumatic Boot Opener (A-Hatch)
A pneumatic compressor and cylinder provides an automatic boot opener. Normally the boot must be unlocked first using the original key fob. A remote control key fob is available to automatically open and shut the rear boot hatch. This system can be fitted to most vehicles and is commonly used where the electric options are not available.
