Sliding Doors in Transport Facilities

Sliding Doors for Transport Storage

Sliding door solutions are a common upgrade in transport buildings to cater for large industrial doors such as railway storage and aircraft hangars.

Why Sliding Doors are Used in Transport Storage

Maximizes Available Space
Unlike hinged doors, sliding doors move horizontally along a track and do not require a swing area. This allows vehicles, equipment, and stored materials to be positioned closer to the door opening, maximizing usable floor space.
Accommodates Large Openings
Railway workshops and aircraft hangars often require very wide door openings to allow the movement of trains, locomotives, aircraft, and maintenance equipment.
Easy Movement of Large Door Panels
Sliding doors are designed so that large, heavy door leaves are supported by rollers, tracks, and bearings. This allows very large panels to be moved with relatively low operating force, either manually or through powered systems.

Aircraft Hangars
Engineered for large openings, heavy panels and demanding operational environments, providing reliable access for aircraft storage, maintenance and servicing facilities.
Railway Storage
Designed to support the safe storage, maintenance and servicing of rolling stock, sliding door systems provide reliable operation in demanding railway environments where durability, efficiency and smooth access are essential.
