Filling with nitrogen

My only question is why it says "no struts". That would seem to me
to be one of the best uses of this system, that I can top off my
strut, which is forever going low (on a Cessna). Is there a reason
for this restriction, and is there a system that can do struts?
Another point on this, I note that the same company is selling a
hand pump for both tire and strut use:

On your first "tank" solution, I suspect that the mentioned "pressure
reducing single stage regulator" doesn't go up to the pressures
neccessary for struts (usually atleast 150 psi).
I have a strut pump, as well as a high pressure tank that I use for my
struts. I only consider the pump as a backup. Nitrogen is best. I
think that it's a waste of time in a tire.

May I ask, where did you get the high pressure setup for struts?
