Schweiss Hydraulic Doors
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR DOOR AND BUILDING A SAFE AND PERFECT FIT
IMPORTANT: Stress On Building - Hydraulic Doors
Hydraulic doors are large moving pieces of equipment that can put a
lot of stresses and forces on a building. Your building needs to be
strong enough to support the added stresses of a large, moving hydraulic
door moving. As the door moves, it creates both inward and outward
forces that increase the load on your door and your building. Before
you install your door, be sure your building manufacturer/contractor
has made the appropriate calculations to accommodate for your the added
stresses. Every bid/order from Schwiess comes with the spec sheets that
you'll need to ensure that your building will be strong enough to support
the added forces of a hydraulic door.
Retrofitting an existing building with a hydraulic door may require the
use of the Schweiss free standing header. A free standing header ensures
a straight and level surface for your hydraulic door to be mounted to and
provides added support to your building. The free standing header allows
you to add a hydraulic door to your building without having to remodel
your endwall.
