Frequently Asked Questions - Telescopic Hangar Door Maintenance
Where are Vertical Lift Fabric Hangar Doors commonly used?
They are widely used in civil aircraft hangars, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul) facilities, and helicopter hangars, especially where apron space is limited.
How do Vertical Lift Fabric Doors save space compared to other hangar doors?
Unlike sliding or telescopic doors, Vertical Lift systems move upward and fold neatly, requiring no side parking space or floor rails, making them ideal for space-constrained environments.
Are these doors weather-resistant?
Yes. The doors are engineered to resist wind and rain, ensuring hangar operations remain uninterrupted in adverse weather conditions.
How strong are Vertical Lift Fabric Hangar Doors?
The doors feature steel side guides, reinforced metal parts, and a fabric section with steel construction at least 600 mm thick. Each part is carefully selected to provide high strength and durability.
What safety features are included?
The system prioritizes safety:
- Blades in the side guides lock the door automatically if the lifting system malfunctions.
- Compliance with CE standards and EN safety directives ensures operational reliability.
Can the doors be operated manually in case of a power failure?
Yes. A manual hand crank is provided for emergency operation, though it is not suitable for very large door sizes.
Do Vertical Lift Fabric Doors help with energy efficiency?
Yes. Special seals installed in the lower beam prevent unwanted airflow, reducing hot/cold air exchange and improving energy efficiency.
What kind of maintenance is required?
These doors are designed for low maintenance, with 24/7 service support available from our technicians to minimize downtime and ensure continuous operation.
