Product Overview
Our heavy duty sliding hangar door is a horizontal, multi-panel sliding system designed for aircraft hangars, maintenance facilities, and large industrial warehouses where overhead clearance is limited or bi-folding configurations are not feasible. Available in bottom-bearing (floor-supported) or top-running (overhead-supported) configurations, this industrial aircraft hangar sliding door offers smooth, reliable operation with minimal maintenance.
Constructed from high-strength galvanized steel with heavy-duty track systems, the door supports clear opening widths up to 80 meters and heights up to 25 meters. The sliding mechanism requires minimal side-wall clearance, making it ideal for retrofit applications and facilities with limited structural depth.
Width up to 80m Height up to 25m Bottom-Bearing / Top-Running Remote Controlled
Key Features & Technical Advantages
Robust Track & Carriage System
Heavy-duty galvanized steel tracks with precision-machined running surfaces. Bottom-bearing systems use forged steel wheels with sealed bearings; top-running systems employ overhead trolley assemblies with fail-safe anti-derailment guards.
Modular Panel Construction
Individual door panels are fabricated as self-supporting welded steel frames with insulated sandwich panels. Each panel is independently tracked for smooth nesting and compact stacking in the open position.
Powerful Electric Drive
Industrial-grade gearmotor with frequency inverter control ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration. Manual override with chain-hoist mechanism provided for emergency operation during power failures.
Advanced Safety & Security
Integrated safety edges, photoelectric presence sensors, audible movement warnings, and mechanical locking systems. Door position indicators and interlock systems for aircraft docking compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between bottom-bearing and top-running sliding doors?
Bottom-bearing doors are supported by floor-mounted tracks and wheels, ideal for facilities with strong floor slabs. Top-running doors are suspended from overhead steel structures, which eliminates floor tracks and is preferred where floor integrity is compromised or where wheeled vehicle traffic is heavy.
How are sliding hangar doors sealed against weather?
Our sliding hangar doors feature continuous EPDM perimeter seals, inter-panel compression seals, and bottom brush or rubber sweeps. Optional wind locks and hold-down devices provide additional sealing under high wind conditions.
Can these doors be automated for remote operation?
Yes, all our sliding hangar doors can be fully automated with radio remote controls, push-button stations, and smartphone app integration. We also provide radar, loop detector, and access card control options.
What maintenance is required for sliding hangar doors?
Regular maintenance includes track cleaning, wheel bearing lubrication, and periodic seal inspection. We provide detailed maintenance schedules and offer service contracts for large installations.
