Need Extra Building Support... Schweiss Offers Free Standing Headers

Where used?

• Existing buildings
• Retrofitting a building
• Possibilities are endless

Why use a Free Standing Header?

It's a custom built self supporting header frame, which gives the buyer / builder tremendous flexibility. In
essence, it lets the customer fit the hydraulic door to an existing building without revamping the supporting
structure of the building.
• It's a nice way to prepare or retrofit an existing building for a Schweiss door.
• It provides a clean, flat, flush surface to attach your Schweiss door.
• The free standing header offers extra strength.
• It provides a nice straight and level place to attach your door to especially on older buildings.
• It's a trade off you would have to build a header up to your existing end wall and that's not free.
   (Labor and material?)
• Free standing headers are made out of 4x4 11ga. tubes (two across the full width, two legs and base
   plates).
• Larger free standing headers are made out of larger sizes.
• The header comes pre-welded together. You must field weld both of the legs on.
