Special doors for hangars

The Challenge
Hangar doors require specific technical considerations when closing large openings, depending on the required dimensions (whether the hangar is for helicopters or airplanes), as well as the hangar’s purpose (maintenance/servicing or repairs).

The Solution
Taking these specifics into account, EMI has developed three distinct solutions for hangar doors:
a) folding/accordion doors,
b) sliding doors on tracks, either left/right or telescoping,
c) vertically folding doors made from a tarpaulin-like material.

The solution is chosen based on the type of hangar – for a repair hangar, for example, where access is needed less frequently throughout the day, the sliding door option is suitable. For a maintenance hangar, where an airplane enters for a 3-hour service, a faster open/close system is required, such as the vertical folding tarpaulin option.
