Schweiss Doors introduces vertical hydraulic pump design

By General Aviation News Staff · November 7, 2024 · Leave a Comment

Schweiss Doors recently introduced its new vertical hydraulic pump design.

The new vertical hydraulic pump allows easier access to the motor, oil filter, gauges, and the back-up tractor fittings, according to officials with the Hector, Minnesota-based company.

Each unit comes with standard hydraulic tractor fittings to raise or lower the door at any time without electricity. The vertical hydraulic pump can be mounted on the floor or on a wall, under a bench or in a back room.

Also standard are velocity fuses on both cylinders, which allow Schweiss hydraulic systems to lock in place if there is a hydraulic hose or line break, officials noted.

“Velocity fuses safely lock the door in place, preventing it from coming down or falling on airplanes, machinery, or people,” the explained.
