Don't be fooled - every safety feature offered by the competition comes standard on a Schweiss commercial hydraulic door!

Schweiss Safety Advantage -- Hydraulic Pump Systems

• Locks the door up and down, in all positions - so your door WILL NEVER close on its own.
• Built in safety - if a hose or tube breaks, your door will stop immediately.
• Locks and holds the door in the closed position - your door will never creep open.
• Door opens evenly; door closes evenly.
• Allows you to emergency lower the door from the ground level - so no ladders are needed to lower the door.
• Prevent thermal expansion pressure in the cylinders - releases pressure/drips the oil back into the tank.
• Low voltage coils are safer to work around - it's only 24 volts DC (not 220 volts).
• Internal cylinder stops to keep the door from overextending - for safety and security.

Emergency Lowering the Hydraulic Door
Manually lowering the door
Manually bleeding the door down

Just stand by the hydraulic pump system and move the emergency levers - it's as easy as that!

• Oil drains back into the tank, leaving no mess.
• No ladders needed, so there's no chance of falling off a ladder.
• One person can easily lower the door, alone.
• The door will come down evenly and smoothly, so no chance of twisting the doorframe.

Brand X's Door - They do it the Hard Way and the Cheap Way

• You need to get two ladders out - one for each cylinder on each side of the doorway!
• Two people must use ladders, while trying to keep from being under the door - it's almost impossible!
• You must begin bleeding the lines - with the cheap block - with one man on each side of the doorway. Where's the oil going while it's bleeding out? Oil will be everywhere - what a mess to clean up!
• If the door is lowered unevenly, the frame may get twisted - so now you have even bigger problems!
• Others use cheap poorly designed blocks to get by - Say No to the Cheap Scenario!
• When the door is open, it needs to come down - so you have to put ladders on each side, while bleeding oil out with no place to go, while hanging from the ladders trying to lower the door evenly! It's not an easy task; it's very messy, time consuming and very unsafe!
• When you go cheap, the price is usually higher - because you get a poorly designed door.
