1 Piece Hydraulic Door Frame

The Clean Look

"It's own framework"

About the Hydraulic Doors Frame

• One piece frame work a manufactured with 2 x 4 tube.

• Comes complete with its own framework and pre-mounted hinges.

• Continuous header tube, extra supporting frame.

• Bolted frame connections for shipping a no welding a easy to install.

All Schweiss hydraulic doors are factory welded and made of
structural steel tubing. The doors are hinged horizontally at the top
of the frame using heavy duty hinges by each upright tube on the
door frame, which evenly distributes the load onto your door,
building, truss and header. Hinges are factory pre-located to align
with the building and truss members. The door swings outward,
away from the building. In the open position, the door will be laying
flat at 90I. Doors are trussed to provide extra strength. Extra metal in
the right place reduces the bowing or sagging when the door is open
or closed. Each door is fully assembled from the factory, saving you
hours of installation time.

Heavy duty hydraulic door trusses

All of our doors are manufactured with webbed trusses to provide
extra strength. The truss is located near the very bottom of the
door. We have two styles of trusses.

Heavy duty hinges for hydraulic doors

Hinges are mounted on a self-supporting, pre-mounted,
continuous header tube. All hinges are self-contained on
the door frame which makes the door easy to install.
Hinge pins are 1" diameter attached to 3/8" thick hinge plates.
