Gandhi Automations Pvt. Ltd., the entrance automation and loading bay equipment company, showcased its aircraft hangar doors – hoist-up and sliding – designed for tough environments with extremely large openings.
Fabric hoist up doors are electrically operated and specially designed for sites that do not have space on the side of the door opening for it to slide. This type of doors obviates the need for heavy foundation under the door for bottom tracks. The door moves up and down in an aluminum guide with brush seals. It operates by lifting the bottom section upwards and stacking the intermediate sections one on top of the other.
Similarly, sliding aircraft hangar doors are recommended where no headroom is available and side clearances permitted. This type of door can either be bi-parting or uni-directional with each door section bottom rolling and top guided. Bottom rolling hangar doors are an excellent application for any pre-engineered or custom designed facility. They are ‘bottom rolling’, which means that their weight is carried by a bottom rail and not by the building structure above.
“These doors are designed to withstand wind load criteria and for protection from all types of weather due to the advanced weather sealing system. The system also maximizes energy efficiency. Tail doors and integrated pedestrian doors, without threshold can be incorporated on the doors,” explained Abhijit Deshmane, PR – Manager, Advertising, Gandhi Automations Pvt. Ltd.
