ACCESSIBILITY & MOBILITY

Where did the idea for a hydraulic door container come from? As our CEO Mike Schweiss would say, "Accessibility is what drove this. We noticed a common inconvenience when it came to other storage containers and units. They were incredibly inaccessible, anyone using semi truck trailers or shipping containers for their large storage needs were only able to access the contents from one end. Consider grabbing materials from the other end of your storage container? Have fun digging that out!". With our hydraulic container doors, we took that issue to task and provided the solution - full access to the storage container contents. Hear it from Mike himself, "As you drive through the countryside you'll often see unsightly temporary storage units such as empty semi-trailers or shipping containers sitting in backyards or beside the road as a result of factories overrun with places to store them. Everybody has a real common problem with these as they can only be entered from the back. Now, when you stack it full, how do you get to the front? It's almost impossible. The beauty of this is the large side hydraulic door that opens up the entire container changing the way people will store their things. It's a much more friendly option..." - CEO Schweiss Doors, Mike Schweiss.

ABOUT THE NEW SCHWEISS CONTAINER

The Schweiss hydraulic door system provides a longer-lasting and safer door to ensure your container does the job. Our "green doors" are not powered by electric power pumps, hydraulic fluid, or oil lines, but rather a motor that works with the cylinder to open and close the hydraulic door. The Schweiss hydraulic door container is equipped with maintenance-free nylon wear-resistant bushings and removable hinge pins. Hinges are not visible from the outside of the door when it is in the closed position, providing a fresh look.

Schweiss custom ball screw electric linear actuators require no oil to open or close the hydraulic door. Each motor is strong and provides a cylinder with 5,000 lbs of lifting power.

I checked with a company in Germany that does hangar doors, and another door company, that owns most of the door companies in Europe. There was one small blacksmith company in Austria that produces doors that look like Schweiss doors, but it would have taken 12 months delivery time and all the other door company prices were a lot higher. Even with the container shipping costs, the Schweiss doors are less expensive than what we can buy in Europe.

SCHWEISS HYDRAULIC DOORS FIT ALL BUILDINGS

Most of the buildings and hangars that Schweiss hydraulic doors go on are the usual shaped rectangular style steel, wood or pole buildings. But many hydraulic door owners who have what we call "round buildings," buildings such as quonset huts and hoop or fabric buildings that are using Schweiss hydraulic doors at an equal pace.

Customers have asked us to retrofit their existing quonset, hoop or fabric round roof style buildings with a new hydraulic door to improve access to their building by taking advantage of the reliability and durability of our hydraulic and bifold doors. That goes for new buildings as well.

Fitting and installing a hydraulic one piece door or bifold door on a quonset, hoop or fabric building is a snap. A hydraulic door on the endwall or sidewall give you better access.

It's really no problem at all. The fastest and easiest way to add a hydraulic door on a round building that needs additional support is to use a Schweiss Doors manufactured freestanding hydraulic door header. A freestanding header provides a nice straight and level place to attach your hydraulic door to and adds strength to your building.

I like the large nature and sturdiness and stoutness of Schweiss doors. We found the other doors we had been getting as having shoddy workmanship; we are welders and we didn't like the way they welded, we didn't like their deflection rates, we didn't like a lot things about their tolerances, but we found your door to be exceptional. We found the fabrication and the things we look at from our end were not only acceptable, but well within tolerances. That makes our job a lot easier because we don't have to fix things and change things and wonder why.

Freestanding headers are used on all types of buildings, but they are an especially good way to add support to round roof buildings. With a freestanding header in place to give your building extra support, any size one-piece hydraulic door can be placed on an endwall or sidewall.

Schweiss can easily help you revitalize your existing building structure and enjoy the benefits of having a much more useful building, especially if sidewall hydraulic doors are added in addition to endwall hydraulic doors for easier access to different parts of your round building.

Many owners of these buildings go with sidewall Schweiss hydraulic doors to gain width and height. Others just want to replace cumbersome sliding doors or other style doors that are hard to open and close.

We can install your hydraulic door or provide a step-by-step installation manual that is easy to follow. If you send us a photo of your door opening it makes it even easier for Schweiss Doors to advise you with your round roof building hydraulic door needs.

A TRULY PRACTICAL & FUNCTIONAL SHOW BOOTH

One of the first hydraulic storage container doors was used by Schweiss Doors Europe to market Schweiss hydraulic doors. The team traveled through Europe at various trade shows showcasing the new product. One side wall was used as the display booth while the other side doubled as a hydraulic door. When the team arrived at a show site, they set up their display by pushing the remote button to open the door, and just like that - they were ready for an exciting day.

THE STRUGGLE WITH STANDARD STORAGE CONTAINERS

Shipping, commercial, and residential containers come in many forms and sizes and their uses vary. They are highly durable and secure, making them a hot commodity.
Larger containers are generally used to store and deliver goods across long ranges on semi truck flatbeds, ships on the high seas, railroads, etc.

Conventional storage containers are not user friendly because the opening is generally located at the rear of the container. Filing and retrieving contents out of a container is quite the cumbersome process. Users have to be strategic in their storing process because they have to walk in and fill from front to back. If something is misplaced in the front, someone would have to dig or get everything else out to reach what they're looking for.

SCHWEISS DOORS PROVIDES A SOLUTION

Over the years, the need for a more accessible container began to arise, and owners thought there had to be a better way. Schweiss took advantage of this need, and so the Schweiss hydraulic container door was born.

Users can add hydraulic doors to the long side or both ends (or all three!) of a container to have full and easy access to any and all of the contents in the container. No more tedious filling or retrieval projects!

I have to be honest with you, we got help from above; resources came to us from everywhere; knowledge, equipment, tools, etc. This combined with the effort guys at Schweiss Doors put into this made our day. We were very proud and fortunate of having our company name next to the great Schweiss name.
