Upgrade Equipment For Your Hydraulic Door
While your hydraulic door opener provides convenience and security, it is important to follow some basic
safety practices. Your hydraulic door is probably the largest piece of moving equipment on your building
and can be potentially dangerous if adequate protection is not used. We offer additional entrapment
protection for your hydraulic door. You have a choice of upgrade equipment. Please feel free
to talk to us at the factory about your different upgrade equipment available, and select
which one is best for you or the customer and the end user. The upgrade equip-
ment offered by Schweiss is strongly recommended to be used on every door.
