| Hydro-Tec aluminum single-panel hydraulic door Wilson introduces Hydro-Tec the industry's ONLY single-panel hydraulic door manufactured of lightweight 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum. Wilson combines aluminum door manufacturing prowess — since 1956 — with simple, easy-to-use hydraulic technology. The result is a single-panel door that weighs 40% less than comparable steel single-panel doors— allowing for building savings and the use of low-pressure hydraulics. This greatly reduces the wear and tear on components and the system and ensures years of trouble-free operation. No cables, drive shafts, limit switches or gearboxes—the door is easily raised and lowered via two hydraulic cylinders. The cylinders also pull the door tight and lock it in place. A remotely located motor, pump, and reservoir system ensures even lift and efficient operation. The door only requires six inches of headroom, swinging efficiently and effectively out to provide unparalleled head clearance. The raw mill finish of the door's 6061-T6 aluminum tubing also affords a clean, crisp look and higher aesthetic value than steel product—and no rusting or chipping paint. Simple push-button operation easily opens and closes the door (remote operation is optional). Standard top, bottom and side weather-stripping provide for an effective seal against the elements. Hydro-Tec features modular, bolt-together construction—so no field welding is required which equates to quick and very easy installation. The supporting steel frame is supplied with the door system. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
