174: HYDRAULIC DOOR RETROFITTING

1

Hello, my firm is currently working on the historic rehabilitation of a home originally built for the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. Now located in the Indiana Dunes National Park, the home features a tilt-up hanger door approx. 35' wide by 7' tall. Our goal is to recreate this door, assuming that it may need to be segmented into smaller components. Your products appear to match our intent, we would greatly appreciate a call and any drawings/details you can provide. Thank you

We are raising the ceiling in an old dairy barn 8 feet to make a shop/machine shed. It is constructed of wood using laminated gothic arches. The hydraulic door will need to be 40' long and I will insulate and sheet the door myself. I need 3 window framed in it. Thanks

I have a hangar built in 1988 with a single-piece 39 feet 2 inch foot wide x 10 feet 9 inch high metal door that is currently opened manually. The door is counter-weighted by a Rube Goldberg 3 foot x 2 foot x 3 foot concrete block located on the side of the hangar, connected by cables that attach to the door in three places. Electric power available in the hangar is 30 amps/120 volts maximum. I'd like to replace the door and counter-weight with one of your doors, perhaps a bi-fold. Do you have a solution that would work for me? Thank you! PS: Photos available upon request

I have a barn, peg-beam-mortis & tennon construction circa 1915. It was metal sided in 1982 or so with large sliding doors, and done well. I wish to replace the sliding doors on one side with a hydraulic door that can be operated by the push of a button, with a remote unit and not lose any height of the opening to the hydraulic door itself. The opening is 12'2" high and 15' wide. Your product may serve.
