HydroSwing: An Industry Leader

Gone are the days of rinky-dink Bi-Fold Doors. The One-Piece Hydraulic Door is the latest innovation to hit the aviation world, becoming the hangar door of choice and the new industry standard.

The Ultimate Hydraulic Aircraft Hangar Door

Need more headroom? Want the most efficient overhead Hydraulic Aircraft Hangar Doors? The one-piece hydraulic door by HydroSwing gives you more power, efficiency and clearance than a Bi-Fold Door or outrigger ever could. It's the best solution for maximizing your hangar's value. The HydroSwing door IS aviation. Whether you're maximizing headroom on a retrofit for your hangar, or planning for a new build, HydroSwing makes the most of your hangar real estate. With a HydroSwing custom built Hydraulic Door, you can build a less expensive aircraft hangar by lowering the height of your building, while maintaining the required clear opening height. If your existing building has a Bi-Fold, you can replace it with a HydroSwing Door and gain 18-48" of headroom. You can’t lose with HydroSwing Doors! We offer a level of strength, power, and simplicity that bi-fold doors will never match.
