Manufacturing the Hydroswing® Door
THE Hydroswing®
The single panel hydraulic door market is beginning to mature, with new developments to improve efficiency and lower costs, for large hydraulic
doors in the traditional sectors of aviation hangars, farm shops and agricultural buildings.
Door markets in the United States have started to move toward efficiency and 'in life' service cost. In many cases, we've seen the hydraulic
door as the way forward over bi-fold doors and other less efficient roller door systems, with many of the US based bifold door manufacturers
now having to offer up their own version of a single panel hydraulic door in order to compete with the Hydroswing®.
Working in these
environments is second nature!
Hydroswing® outgrew its original location for manufacture in Cottonwood, MN. as fuel prices, steel prices and
distance to emerging markets around the world opened up, the value from this remote location to the rest of the world could not be delivered
effectively as volume increased. Since a major reorganization and redevelopment of the product in 2010, the fabrication model, design and marketing
of the Hydroswing® door has found its way to effective worldwide delivery and cost efficiency.
All Hydroswing® doors are fabricated & welded, with each facility stringently
audited for welding and quality assurance. The hydraulic components are sourced centrally in the United States for continuous quality and supply
chain integrity.
Another set of Hydroswing® on their way!
At Hydroswing®, quality is just one area we set ourselves apart from others. Shot blasting pre-paint is a prime
example of our quality systems. ensuring the perfect base for the application of Carboline carboguard 890, adding 50% greater corrosion resistance
than other hydraulic door offered in this category. Shot blasting allows an added layer of inspection of the steel for rare imperfections, which
remain unseen in non shot blasted door systems.
The shot blasting process will ensure your door will be in service for a long time despite the harsh working conditions.
A visual check can now be made and after the door has been cleared it moves on to the painting stage.
The epoxy Carboline Primer 890 is applied in light gray. The final assembly and packing is completed before yet another Hydroswing®
door is loaded on the truck!
