CONTAINER DOORS

Raven Production Management Co. of New Orleans constantly challenges itself to bring revolutionary production solutions to its clients from the smallest nightclub events to entire festival sites. Raven can enhance the experience with state of the art sound equipment, avant-garde lighting systems, and cutting edge video solutions.

Adding to their repertoire of skills was the consruction of arena and concert container units that will be in use at several events in the Los Angeles area and across the country. Raven ordered 13 Schweiss bifold liftstrap doors for these container-building units. The custom-made doors are 13' 3" x 7' 2".

Describing them as containers is an understatement; these 15' x 15' x 15' permanent units are very versatile and are being used for much more than storage or as event food concession or product sales buildings. The unit designed for Bud Light has an interactive photo booth and alongside it is an area where people can enjoy a cold one.

Schweiss builds easy access hydraulic container doors. Schweiss Doors now specializes in customizing containers to accept hydraulic doors to open up the entire side and/or both ends for easy access. In addition to these doors, Schweiss can also build an attached lifting exterior deck on your container that will lift up or down at the touch of a button.

Schweiss storage containers are perfect for a number of uses such as secure mobile offices, portable sheds, workshops, hunting shacks, food stands, etc.

At the top of each container door cylinder is a motor rated to lift 5,000 lbs. The DC drive utilizes 110 Volt AC power. Where there is no access to electricity, the door can be manually run with a cordless drill or generator setup. Doors are constructed with 2"x2" strong steel tubing. Containers can be custom-built and finished off to your liking.

One main door stands at 49' wide x 10' tall. The others range from 8' wide to 17' wide x 10' tall.

The security gates/doors are positioned far enough away from the main counter to allow workers to stock and clean up even with the doors down.

This 1956 Greyhound Scenicruiser bus was hoisted up to the Bobby Hotel rooftop in Nashville. Two Schweiss hydraulic doors open up the side and back of the bus. It was totally renovated inside by Hemphill Brothers Coach Company.

A Schweiss dual-pump system with electric motors were placed 60 feet away inside the swimming pool mechanical room to operate the hydraulic cylinders on the 18' 6" x 8' side door and 8' x 9' rear bus door. The doors can be opened and closed with handheld remote openers.

Castlerock Asset Management, which undertook the adaptation, wanted “to create an immersive hotel that feels like the quintessential Nashville experience and mirrors musician's life on the road.”

“We wanted to create a unique experience on our rooftop different than any other hotel in Nashville,” noted Castlerock Vice President Ray Waters.

Nine Fine Irishmen is a Las Vegas southside strip-located pub of epic proportions. It has a great location just across from the MGM Grand Casino. The pub's interior features a grand Victorian-style bar. It was entirely handcrafted in Ireland by a variety of local tradesmen using authentic Irish materials.

A unique kiosk with a spectacular 360 degree view of the Las Vegas Strip opens up outside to the public with four Schweiss hydraulic designer doors. The year-round outdoor patio and bar kiosk has ample seating for about 100 people. It features two custom made Schweiss hydraulic designer doors 15' x 4' 4" which open at the sides and two 8' x 4' 4" hydraulic doors opening at each end. A unique feature for this is the use of only one hydraulic pump for all four doors, with four separate key stations to open and close the doors. When the doors are open they provide shade to the area around the bar. When closed, they provide a tight seal and security to the contents inside.
