Hangar Door Automation
Hangar door automation
You need robust security for your hangar, and your doors are the first line of defence. Providing secure access, your hangar doors should be able to withstand environmental pressures, and facilitate smooth operation, whether for aircraft, heavy machinery, or industrial equipment. So, how can you maximise your hangar door’s security and functionality? With an automation solution.
Manual hangar doors can be cumbersome at best, and a security risk at worst. By contrast, advanced automated hangar door systems boost access security and safety, helping withstand environmental pressures, and enabling a smoother operation for aircraft, heavy machinery, and industrial equipment. Here at EDS, we specialise in automating a variety of door types, enhancing functionality and improving safety for both small and large-scale sites.
Choosing an automation system for your hangar doors can transform the functionality and efficiency of your space, offering several key advantages:
- Strength and durability: our automation systems work seamlessly with high-quality doors, designed to endure harsh weather conditions, heavy use, and time.
- Increased safety: automated systems remove the need for manual operation, reducing the risk of injury from improper handling.
- Smooth operations: advanced mechanisms provide easy opening and closing access, eliminating the need for manual effort while ensuring precision.
- Enhanced security: automated locking systems can be integrated, providing secure access to protect valuable equipment and assets.
- Custom fit: We tailor to you, making sure automation systems are compatible with your existing doors, whether bi-fold, sliding, or vertical lift, for the perfect fit for any size or shape of hangar.
Investing in automated hangar door solutions ensures longevity, security, operational ease, and a reduction in manual handling.
We offer a variety of automation solutions for hangars designed to meet your specific needs. Here’s an example of hanger door options we can automate:
