Schweiss Doors does its work on the farm
Schweiss Doors has been at the forefront of providing powerful custom-made one piece Hydraulic and Liftstrap and Cable lift Bifold doors for agricultural uses throughout Canada, the United States and countries abroad.
Farmers and ranchers have found that the dependability and superb craftsmanship that goes into both these styles of doors and their components have saved them money and time and answered their every need.
Hydraulic Doors pack a lot of power
If you need a powerful, sturdy, quick-opening door with large cylinders, spherical bearings and no loss of headroom inside your building, this door fits the bill. Schweiss Hydraulic Doors are pre-built with a special bottom truss that provides added strength, very important in high-wind conditions. The doors are extremely weathertight because they are opened and closed with heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders and the best hydraulic pump on the market.
Big doors are a large moving end or sidewall. Two powerful cylinders carry the entire weight of the door. Schweiss cylinders won’t bend, break or bow. Another important feature that you won’t find on other hydraulic doors is the recent introduction of spherical bearings. These bearing are located between the teardrop area and cylinder plate at each end of the doors’ cylinders — a perfect answer to a safer, stronger and longer-lasting door.
“When a door is hanging straight out, doesn’t it put a lot of stress on the building?” Schweiss hydraulic one-piece doors are self-contained on their own subframe. Designed to adapt to any type of building, each Schweiss door comes delivered pre-hung with its own frame and are pre-assembled, pre-welded so your building doesn’t need to be made taller. Our large subframe is built like a German tank and will withstand windloads like no others. Schweiss uses all steel members and more steel cross members, giving support where it is needed. It also gives more room for insulation. Schweiss will never use C-channels or Tec screws to support a 1,000 lb. – plus door.
Schweiss hydraulic door “added-strength” frames have double end hinges and more hinges per door, which means they don’t have to support as much weight. Heavy-duty hinges prevent thermal expansion in the cylinders and release excess pressure and oil back into the tank.
The unique hydraulic pump system is the most efficient pump on the market. It uses a fast and quiet, fan-cooled LEESON 1,800 rpm motor available in 2 h.p to 10 h.p., depending on the size and weight of your door. We don’t use odd shaft sizes making it hard to find replacements, and our motors don’t run at rpms that give off high annoying squealing noises. Schweiss doesn’t use undersized motors that can get hot and burn out.
Our pump unit gives you faster door speed when opening and closing giving a cycle time of approximately 30 seconds. You don’t want a slow door that lets the heat out of your building in the winter or airconditioning out in the summer. The uniquely designed Schweiss pump unit is contained all in one unit and can be top or underhung and mounted on your building wall, floor, under a bench or in a back room. How handy is that?
In case of a power outage, Schweiss Doors includes a standard backup system and offers additional backup systems to safely open your door.
With easy-to-follow factory instructions you can usually have your door operating in less than a day. Farmers who need a bigger door for bigger farm machinery look to Schweiss Doors for all their needs.
