ONE-PIECE DOORFRAME

Any Size Hydraulic Door

• There is no such thing as an odd size. All doors are custom made for your opening. Schweiss is always willing to make changes that help the customer fulfill their door needs.

Schweiss Hydraulic Door with External Truss... A Clean Interior Look.

ABOUT THE FRAME

Pre-Assembled, Pre-Welded and Pre-Hung within its frame for ease of installation:

• One-piece doorframe, manufactured with 2 x 4 steel tube.

• Comes complete with continuous subframe and door with hinges pre-mounted.

• Vertical subframe supports the cylinder brackets on each side of the door.

• Bolted frame connections for shipping, no welding, 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 doorframe, 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 90 degrees. 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 across the entire width of the doorframe. We have two styles of trusses

Pre-Mounted Subframe & Door includes

• Horizontal member that attaches to your building.

• Vertical member that supports the cylinders and attaches to your building.

• One-Piece doorframe with pre-mounted hinges.

Automatic Latching... Self Latching and Holds the Door in Place

• Hydraulic cylinders automatically pull the doors in tight against your building and will keep the door in a locked position to provide a tight seal.

• Push a button to automatically lock and unlock the door to the closed position.
