“Next Generation” Hydraulic-Powered Door

“Next Generation” Hydraulic-Powered Door BUILDINGS Miscellaneous At the recent Farmfest show near Redwood Falls Minn Premier Door Co displayed a one-piece hydraulic-operated door with “next generation” features Owner Nick Schuft says it’s the best hydraulic door on the market “Six years ago when we set out to manufacture hydraulic doors the first thing we did was talk to customers who already had hydraulic doors One of their biggest dislikes was the way the door jarred against the building during closure along with the rough jerking start it made when opening Sometimes customers were told by door manufacturers that they needed to extensively reinforce the structure to help minimize the problem “Manufacturing a door with a soft start soft close and variable speed controls is better on the building itself and eliminates these issues It’s also more cost effective than spending thousand of dollars on bracing to compensate for cheap hydraulic door systems So we’ve focused on integrating hydraulics with electronics ” Their standard door comes with safety valve cylinders a submersed 5 hp pump for quiet fast door operation and a wireless remote control that works up to 500 ft away The company also offers a Smart Door® Technology package that comes with proportional valve controls for one-touch soft start open and soft close A screen monitor with outdoor camera lets you know what’s happening outside before you open the door He says the company’s 5 hp submersed hydraulic door pump runs quieter than competitors and is much faster too “You can hear a conversation while opening your door - that’s how quiet the door motor is ” Safety features are built into the pump as well as the cylinders “In the event of a hydraulic hose leak rupture or loss of pressure a built-in safety valve immediately stops the cylinder from retracting or extending ” The screen monitor with outdoor camera comes in handy he says “It’s really nice to be able to look outside your door from the screen and know if you forgot about a piece of equipment parked outside before opening your door ” Schuft says the company can handle any project and can retrofit any existing structure They offer a lifetime warranty on the door’s steel frame and a 5-year warranty on all hydraulic components and parts Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Premier Door Co 22712 30th St Stewart Minn 55385 ph 320 562-2222; Nick@premierdoorco com; www PremierDoorCo com
