Hydraulic doors are a perfect fit for round buildings - 12
Customers ask us to retrofit their existing quonset, hoop or fabric round roof style buildings with a new hydraulic door to improve access to their building by taking advantage of the reliability and durability of our hydraulic doors.
Schweiss can easily help you revitalize your existing building structure and enjoy the benefits of having a much more useful building, especially if sidewall doors are added in addition to end wall doors for easier access to different parts of your round building. Many owners of these buildings go with sidewall hydraulic doors to gain width and height. Others just want to replace cumbersome sliding doors or other style doors that are hard to open and close.
Keep in mind a hydraulic door is a large moving piece of equipment that attaches to your building and exerts outward and inward forces. Schweiss Doors or your building contractor can tell you if the structural design is capable of handling all the imposed loads that a hydraulic door will exert to your door header.
It’s really no problem at all. The fastest and easiest way to add a hydraulic door on a round building that needs additional support is to use a Schweiss Doors manufactured freestanding door header. A freestanding header provides a nice straight and level place to attach your hydraulic door to and adds strength to your building.
We can install your hydraulic door or provide a step-by-step installation manual that is easy to follow. If you send us a photo of your door opening it makes it even easier for Schweiss Doors to advise you with your round roof building hydraulic door needs.
