Former airline pilot chooses Schweiss hydraulics for door and lifting staircase
Gene Buboltz of Cold Spring, Minn. stands beside the hydraulic basement door located on the backside of his lake home. The custom 4.6' x 6.7' hydraulic door is unnoticeable when closed.
“What I really like is that I can run both from one pump. I think it was the first system Schweiss engineered that ran off of one pump. The speed of the cylinders gets them up quickly. There's no wiggle or shimmy - they are built very rugged and trouble-free. I've seen a lot of other doors and I don't think you'll find a stronger door in the industry. They were delivered perfectly and put up on time as promised.”
- Gene Buboltz, pilot
Cold Spring, Minn.
Gene Buboltz of Cold Spring, Minn. chose Schweiss Doors to install a small hydraulic door on his lakehome to give him easy access for a place to drive his ATV in and to store jet skis and other equipment into the lower level of his home. As time progressed he turned this basement room into a rec. room and a place to store his flying memorabilia.
But that wasn't all; he and his wife, Carol, had Schweiss Doors engineer a hydraulic lifting staircase from his garage up to an attic. The staircase folds up automatically, up and out of the way to give him the additional parking room. Schweiss engineered both doors to run off one hydraulic pump that is tucked away in the attic.
The hydraulic door on his home is 4.6' wide x 6.7' tall. The lifting staircase is 3' wide x 10.4' tall; it and the hydraulic door can be controlled by remote openers.
"What I really like is that I can run both from one pump." said Buboltz." I think it was the first system Schweiss engineered that ran off of one pump. The speed of the cylinders gets them up quickly. There's no wiggle or shimmy - they are built very rugged and trouble-free. I've seen a lot of other doors and I don't think you'll find a stronger door in the industry. They were delivered perfectly and put up on time as promised."
Gene Buboltz got the opportunity to talk to Bob Hoover during an Oshkosh Air Show in Wisconsin. Hoover, a WWII fighter pilot and famous airshow pilot, each flew a Shrike Aero Commander in their days. Hoover went on to do just about everything you can do in aviation and then some. From barnstorming in old biplanes to dogfights over Europe in World War II to testing the latest supersonic jets, Hoover was regarded as one of the top three pilots ever.
Buboltz, a farm boy from Hector, Minn. started flying while attending St. Cloud State College. After about a year and a half, he picked up his ratings and accepted a job offer flying for St. Cloud Aviation. They had a branch in Canada where he worked for a couple of years flying floatplanes and he also flew a Rockwell Shrike Aero Commander from their distributorship. The Shrike was the same plane that renowned World War II Spitfire fighter jock and USAF test pilot Bob Hoover was known to fly after the war. In it he performed his signature deadstick (no engine) routine of loop, roll, 180-degree turn, landing, and taxi to air show centers.
His early experience led him to a job flying passengers and he gained his instructor rating teaching floatplane flying along with sales work for the Rockwell distributorship. His next career steps were flying for Bemidji Airlines and then for Republic, which was bought out by Northwest and the regional carrier Pinnacle where he retired in 2006 flying the Bombardier 50-seat turbojet CRJ200s and SF Saab 340s, racking up about 22,000 hours in the air. Most of his flying these days is in his 1946 Ercoupe.
Most of Gene's flying these days is in his 1946 Ercoupe that he hangars at the Paynesville airport.
Strong hydraulic cylinders operated from a pump hidden away in his attic lift the heavy rock-faced one-piece door quickly and quietly.
A large Pella window inside the hydraulic door lets in ample light from outside and provides a nice shaded canopy when fully open.
This classy hydraulic wall-door is unnoticeable when closed because the outside door trim matches a seamless finish to the house's exterior.
Originally this hydraulic door was installed to expand garage space for ATVs, lawnmowers and other equipment. Since then Buboltz remodeled the basement level room to make it a rec room and a place to display items from his flying career.
When the door is closed it blends in like any other wall inside the home. The framed photo to the left of the door shows Bob Hoover's Shrike Aero Commander that he flew in many airshows as a stunt pilot. It was the same type plane that Buboltz flew early in his career.
Buboltz stands beside the only access to his attic. Use of a Schweiss engineered lifting staircase opens and closes the staircase to give him additional space inside his garage.
The hydraulic operated lifting staircase is 3' wide x 10.4 inches long from floor to ceiling.
When fully retracted, the Schweiss hydraulic operated staircase tucks neatly into the ceiling.
A view from the attic top shows the hydraulic operated staircase with its two heavy-duty cylinders. The hydraulic pump is mounted out of sight behind the sheet-rocked wall at the upper right of the photo. The one pump operates the staircase and hydraulic on the other side of the home.
The hydraulic wall door location offers a nice view of the lake and access to the outside patio.
