Aircraft Hangar Construction – Henderson Airport, Nevada

AeroDoor has successfully completed the design, fabrication, and installation of a horizontal rolling hangar door at Henderson Airport in Nevada.

This hangar door project, which was designed according to provided plans and specifications, involved creating an eight leaf bi-parting door spanning 222ft in width and 28 feet in height. During operation half of the leaves slide to the left and the other half slide to the right, seamlessly fitting into designated pockets.

The door is installed on the inside of the building, which is also known as a northern stack, and operates on a system of four rails above and below each door leaf. The door rails are spaced approximately 14.5 inches apart. The lower rail is 40LB ASCE rail, while the upper track is a wide flange beam.

Furnished with pogo telescoping rollers, this hangar door is capable of moving up and down with the building’s roof, accommodating deflections in a range of +9”/-6”. The bottom wheels, rolling along the ASCE rail are 15 inches in diameter and made from steel plate with machined treads concentric with bearing seats. These bearings are fitted with dust seals and high-pressure grease pins.

Our Internal motors and push button stations for the hangar door are affixed to each leading-edge leaf. The door operator activates movement to the left or right by applying constant pressure to a mushroom head button. Specifically engineered for this door, the mechanical components operate on 3-phase 480 volts and are energized by a trolleybus fixed within the confines of the door’s upper track.
