Need something lifted or shifted?

1st Sep 2025

Barka Electric Actuators from Penguin Engineering

Lifting solutions for engine rooms, engine bays, hatches, steering consoles, tables, TV’s and much more.

Choose from single or paired units with the power to move up to 1000KG.

Using our unique keypad, synchronised (encoded) pairs can be programmed with different stroke lengths to manage uneven shapes or asymmetric mounting positions.

Solutions for any project:

Push only struts allow the item to be lowered under its own weight and to be lifted manually in the event of a power failure.

Push-pull struts will both open and close mechanically: these are often used for horizontal applications or where a tight fit on a seal is required.

In-line motor or side motor options to make the best use of your available space.

Our Safety Seal option will initiate automatic partial opening to protect children, pets and stray fingers

All available in a choice of 12V or 24V DC

Custom stroke lengths are readily available

Used in marine, motorhome/campervan and residential/commercial design projects.

All Barka struts are:

  • Built in Italy
  • Made from anodized aluminium alloy, with stainless steel pistons for heavier duty models
  • IP65 rated
  • Serviceable - unlike our cheaper competitors, Barka actuators can be repaired and spares are available for all subcomponents

Where to start

To get your project underway, you just need to contact us with some basic dimensions, weights and requirements. Please call us on 02392 465607 or email info@penguineng.com

and we’ll take it from there.

Penguin Engineering is the UK importer for all Barka products and we can deliver overseas.
