Subject: RE: Higher Power Hydraulic Doors


Lamar, MO
Just put up a 47x20 and installed it ourselves. Getting the supports up and square took time. The frame is assembled on the ground and lifted into place. Instead of getting two telahandlers we rolled into the opening and used 3 ton chain winches hooked to the cam boxes and forklifts on the exterior corners to lift in a horizontal position. Once pinned let it stand up into position. Skinning and trimming was work. Used full length sheets top to bottom and have to notch each one for the truss, this was a challenge. And they recomend starting sheets in the middle so half of them need to be slid under the previously installed sheet. We would fully open the door slide a sheet off the manlift into position, drive as many screws as we could reach then lower door to drive the rest. Doing it again would split into two shorter sheets. The frame and vertical supports are at least 3/16" so self tapping screws took extra effort to drive and careful not to twist off. The July heat made it extra fun.
