Schweiss Hydraulic Doors: Open or closed in an Emergency

Schweiss Hydraulic Doors can now be opened or closed during an unexpected power outage with a remote-operated DC Battery-Motorized back-up control system. All you have to do is simply press “Up,” and your hydraulic door opens. They are also engineered with a no extra cost drill-driven backup system which uses a screw gun 7/16” socket hex head, and hydraulic tractor fittings come standard with each Schweiss Red Power pump hydraulic unit.

Emergency door lowering can also be as simple as turning a screw on the pump. Your large moving door will close at a controlled, safe speed, no matter the situation or emergency. It’s that easy, no mess, no oil drains back into the tank.

Schweiss Doors has been at the forefront of providing Hydraulic and Liftstrap Bifold doors for agricultural uses throughout Canada and the U.S. Farmers and ranchers have found that the dependability and superb craftsmanship that goes into both these styles of doors and their components has answered their every need.

Our hydraulic door pump unit gives you faster door speed when opening and closing giving a cycle time of approximately 30 seconds, it is the most efficient pump on the market. You don’t want a slow door that lets the heat out of your building in the winter or airconditioning out in the summer. The uniquely designed Schweiss pump unit is contained all in one unit and can be top or underhung and mounted on your building wall, floor, under a bench or in a back room.

The unique hydraulic pump system uses a fast and quiet, fan-cooled LEESON 1,800 rpm motor available in 2 h.p to 10 h.p., depending on the size and weight of your door. Schweiss doesn’t use undersized motors that can get hot and burn out.

Big doors are a large moving end or sidewall. Two powerful cylinders carry the entire weight of the door. Schweiss cylinders won’t bend, break or bow. Another important feature that you won’t find on other hydraulic doors is the recent introduction of spherical bearings. These bearing are located between the teardrop area and cylinder plate at each end of the doors’ cylinders — a perfect answer to a safer, stronger and longer-lasting door.

Schweiss hydraulic door “added-strength” frames have double end hinges and more hinges per door, which means they don’t have to support as much weight per hinge.
