Hydraulic Wind Pins from Schweiss Doors

Schweiss Doors Introduces Hydraulic Door Wind Pins

Structural design of Schweiss Doors hydraulic doors now includes the application of hydraulic wind pins.

Until now, locking in wind pins was a manual operation – you had to walk back to the the door control station to proceed to raise the hydraulic door. When the door closed, the operator had to again manually reset the win pin into place – time consuming, repetitive and not very efficient.

Schweiss Doors streamlined this process with it newly engineered design of an automatic hydraulic wind pin. This innovative system allows the user to push the up/down control button or remote opener to open of close the door securely and set the wind pin in place.

The hydraulic-operated wind pin rises out of the floor socket and the door automatically opens, eliminating the task of having to walk back and forth to the center of the door to manually engage or disengage the wind pin. The wind pin is mounted to the interior frame of the door and extends down into the building floor. This also eliminates the chance of forgetting to raise the wind pin, which could result in damage to the door or floor socket.
