Premium Hydraulic Hangar Doors

Not sure what configuration of hydraulic hangar door is best for your facility? MEGA DOOR CO. has NO geographical limitations. Whether you are building a brand-new private aviation hangar, expanding a commercial airport facility, or retrofitting an agricultural or industrial building, our certified technicians travel directly to your job site.

Why Choose MEGA DOOR CO. Hydraulic Hangar Doors?

Hydraulic hangar doors are easy to install, look great, and offer an exceptional degree of weather protection from the elements. What’s more, hydraulic hangar doors utilize powerful, synchronized hydraulic cylinders so no matter how large your hangar is, hydraulic hangar doors can be custom engineered to enclose and protect your space. They attach securely to the hangar frame at the top header pivot points and use heavy-duty hydraulic rams anchored to the jambs to safely lift and hold the entire single-panel door.

At MEGA DOOR CO., we build our hydraulic hangar doors with high-tensile steel tubing and industrial-grade hydraulic power units (HPUs) to deliver fast, quiet, and reliable day-to-day operation. When fully open, a hydraulic hangar door swings upward and outward to form a natural exterior canopy, providing extra shaded staging space outside your building while maximizing usable interior hangar floor space.

Key Configurations & Engineering Features

Single-Panel One-Piece Construction

Unlike multi-panel systems that require complicated hinges, cables, or track channels, hydraulic hangar doors feature a rigid, one-piece structural frame. This single-panel design minimizes moving mechanical parts, dramatically reduces long-term maintenance requirements, and delivers a sleek, modern architectural finish.

Exterior Canopy Effect & Maximum Clear Height

Hydraulic hangar doors swing upward from vertical (closed) to horizontal (fully open) outside the building footprint:

• Built-In Shading & Rain Shelter: In the fully open position, the rigid single panel extends outward, creating an overhead canopy that shields personnel and aircraft from rain and sun during staging.
• 100% Interior Floor Space Retention: Because the door lifts entirely to the exterior, it requires zero overhead tracks or interior ceiling tracks inside the hangar, leaving all ceiling and truss space clear for overhead cranes, lighting, or tall aircraft tails.

Powerful Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs) & Redundant Safety

MEGA DOOR CO. hydraulic systems are powered by commercial-grade electric pump stations engineered with integrated safety systems:

• Heavy-duty dual synchronized hydraulic cylinders equipped with internal safety velocity fuses to prevent sudden door descent in the event of pressure loss
• Push-button or remote-controlled soft start and soft stop valve dampening for whisper-quiet, smooth motion
• Manual emergency lowering valves and optional backup DC power systems to guarantee operation during electrical outages

Superior Weather Sealing & High Wind-Load Ratings

Because the one-piece panel seals flush against the outer perimeter jambs, MEGA DOOR CO. hydraulic hangar doors offer an airtight, weather-tight barrier:

• Continuous heavy-duty EPDM dual-bulb weather seals around the entire perimeter header, jambs, and bottom floor contact
• High-density insulated panels to optimize climate control and reduce heating and cooling costs
• Certified wind-load engineering designed to withstand severe wind shears, hurricanes, and coastal weather events

Hydraulic Hangar Door System Options

Flush-Mounted Hydraulic Hangar Doors

Designed for new steel, post-frame, or masonry buildings where the door frame integrates directly into the primary building header and side jamb columns. This option delivers a seamless exterior facade flush with the hangar siding.

Self-Supporting / Stand-Alone Hydraulic Hangar Doors

Engineered with an integrated independent perimeter sub-frame. This configuration carries the entire dead weight and operating forces of the hydraulic system down to the foundation, making it the ideal solution for older hangars or existing structures that cannot support the structural hinge loading of a traditional hydraulic door.

Custom Architectural & Glazed Hydraulic Doors

Tailored for modern corporate aviation hangars, commercial venues, and luxury residential fly-in communities. These systems support full-view glass panels, translucent polycarbonate cladding, decorative timber overlays, and custom exterior trims without sacrificing structural integrity.

Heavy Industrial & Large-Span Hydraulic Doors

Engineered for wide commercial openings, heavy equipment maintenance bays, and corporate flight departments. These massive systems feature high-output tandem hydraulic power packs and reinforced truss framing to effortlessly cycle heavy insulated doors.
