Quonset Hangar from 1950s with New PowerLift Door

The limitation in using many old hangers is the difficulty of using worn out doors. A new custom 58’ x 16’ outside mount PowerLift hydraulic door greatly improved the function of this 1950s Quonset style hangar. Door width increased by 8’ with zero headroom loss. Your older hangar can also benefit from a PowerLift hydraulic door retrofit.

No Doors Quonset

The original sliding doors on this old Quonset building were only a memory when the owner called PowerLift. The uncontrolled opening gave weather, birds, rain and dust free access to everything stored in the building. The solution was one of PowerLift’s exclusive outside mount doors. We built, delivered and installed the door and once again the building offered the customer controlled storage space. A 4’ integral walk door completes the new access system.

Old Hangar Before and After

Is the struggle with your old hangar door spoiling your anticipation of ‘slipping the surly bonds of earth’? This old hangar door with its multiple cables and counterweights had become extremely difficult to use. A remodeled building with a new PowerLift door restored this pilot’s joy of flying. The PowerLift door measures 44’ x 12’. PowerLift’s exclusive outside mount design results in zero headroom loss and translucent siding lets the light shine in.

Delaware State Police Hangar

This Delaware State Police hangar houses emergency helicopters and planes. The original door failed and a new 66’ x 18’ PowerLift door was selected as the replacement. When your old bifold, sliding, fabric or accordion style hangar doors become hard to use and unsafe, replace them with a new maintenance free PowerLift door. You will enjoy the confidence and peace of mind that comes with PowerLift’s local manufacturing, installation and lifelong support.

Old Barn Converted Into Shop

This beautiful old barn had come to the end of its useful life as a livestock facility. The owners were very fond of the barn and it was in solid structural shape so they contacted PowerLift to consider their options. It was determined the whole lower story of the barn could be opened at one end to provide clear interior access. This level was insulted, lined with steel and repurposed as a heated workshop. It is our pleasure at PowerLift to help customers convert old buildings to new usefulness.

Double 52′ x 14′ Doors on 100′ Building

This 104’ long building started life with a fully open wall on one side. After some years the customer decided to close this wall to stop weather infiltration and animal access. He needed to retain the full 14’ access height so he gave PowerLift a call. Two 52’ x 14’ PowerLift outside mount retrofit doors were insulated. One includes a walk door for quick interior access when needed. The customer’s open wall is now fully enclosed with zero headroom loss.

Remodeled Quonset

This old wood frame Quonset-style building was completely remodeled. After covering the weathered wood with brand new steel roof and siding a new 16’ x 12’ PowerLift door was chosen to replace the old, hard-to-use sliding doors. PowerLift can help you convert or repurpose your old building, just call and tell us what you would like to accomplish.

70′ x 16′ Outside Mount Hangar Door

This older steel hangar was originally equipped with a door that restricted access height by at least 2’. When a Lear jet joined the fleet a much higher door opening was required. PowerLift designed an outside mount 70’ x 16’ hangar door, creating the maximum height access possible. The low point of the opening is now the bottom of the roof truss! We will design a door to maximize height and width access on any type of older building – just contact us.

90′ x 20′ Police Hangar

This Virginia State Police hangar houses their emergency helicopters and planes. The original multi-panel accordion type door was replaced with a new 90’ x 20’ PowerLift door. A 4-way redundancy operating system assures that door function is unaffected by power outages. Replace your old hangar doors (bifold, sliding, fabric or accordion style) and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from using a maintenance free PowerLift door.

Unique 16′ x 14′ wall / door design

A PowerLift door is an excellent choice for any building renovation. The owner of this fully remodeled shop collaborated with PowerLift Doors to create a unique 16’ x 14’ door design. Both building and PowerLift door are finished with Hardi plank and stone wainscoting. This in combination with a roof accent extending past the door edge creates a door that blends with the building and ‘disappears’ when closed.

Retrofit bifold replacement door.

This hangar/hobby shop is sited at an attractive Midwest airpark. The owners decided to replace their old bifold door with a new 40’ x 10’ PowerLift door. We can easily replace your older sliding, bifold, fabric or tilt up doors. Using our unique outside mount will increase clear opening height, often gaining 2-3’ of additional clearance. PowerLift doors are built to the highest standard and offer a lifetime of low maintenance, trouble free use.
