\"Heavy gauge\" significa esattamente a forte spessore, ovvero doppio. È solo che nel settore si usa questa terminologia specifica. Immagino potresti dire anche \"Thick\" ma non mi sembra che il termine sia specifico quanto lo è \"a forte spessore\" in italiano.
Troverai molti esempi su Google, sia in italiano sia in inglese.

...The Roll-Top is fabricated from one solid piece of specially blended padded polymer, laminated to ridged, heavy gauge aluminum panels. The polymer blend is designed to endure both sun and cold year after year without stretching, shrinking, tearing or cracking, and with 10 years of field testing, we know we\'ll keep you covered.

Ad es., nel contesto che precede, si parla di \"alluminio a forte spessore\" ovverossia \"doppio\" e quindi più resistente.
