What Is a Hydraulic Door?
A hydraulic door is a large, single-piece door that opens outward using hydraulic cylinders powered by a pump. Unlike traditional roll-up or bi-fold doors, hydraulic doors swing open as one solid panel, providing full-height clearance and minimal maintenance.
They are ideal for buildings that need large, secure openings—like aircraft hangars, farm shops, machine sheds, warehouses, and commercial garages.
Why Choose a Hydraulic Door?
Hydraulic doors are gaining popularity across North Dakota for good reason. Here are the key benefits:
Full Opening Width and Height
Because the door opens outward, you get the entire frame’s clearance—perfect for tall equipment or wide machinery. No overhead tracks or interior obstructions.
Superior Strength
Hydraulic doors are built as one solid piece, making them incredibly strong and wind resistant. This is especially important in areas like Mandan where weather conditions can be extreme.
Ease of Operation
With just the push of a button, you can open or close the door smoothly and safely—no pulling chains, no fighting manual panels.
Weather Tight Seal
These doors are engineered to close firmly, protecting your building from snow, rain, dust, and drafts. Optional insulation makes them even more efficient.
Long-Term Durability
With fewer moving parts than other door systems, hydraulic doors require less maintenance over time. Robust construction also means they hold up well to heavy use.
Common Applications
Hydraulic doors are used across a wide range of industries. If you operate in any of the following areas, a hydraulic door may be the ideal upgrade:
Agricultural buildings: Equipment sheds, grain storage, livestock barns
Aviation hangars: Maximum clearance and secure access for aircraft
Commercial garages: For wide service bays or heavy vehicle entry
Warehouses: For loading docks and equipment access
Industrial facilities: When safety and reliability are top priorities
No matter what the use case, Frueh Construction can customize a hydraulic door to match your opening size, insulation needs, and access preferences.
