In aviation, ports, and other military infrastructure, the efficiency and reliability of hangar doors for aircraft play a heightened role in securing “the goods.” Tanks and birds don’t come cheap, so Choppers, Jets, Cropdusters, etc., all need the most advanced level of security. This is essential. 

Beyond the average warehouse – some hangars also serve as studio lots, storage facilities, factories and gear rental houses. Hangars come in handy, but MRD Hangar doors excel in incorporating anti-burglary fabric (called Curtain) while also offering electrical operation with multiple access control options. These enormous doors protect against unauthorised access – but don’t take our word for it. 

Let’s explore the key benefits and advantages of our hangar doors together. Regarded as titans, we bring a size you have never seen in a garage door.

The Safe Space  

A high level of protection is important for reasons other than the assets’ price tag. The birds need a break from the external weather patterns they are built to face during travel times. They can’t face the onslaught forever, so hangars are where valuables like aircraft and other military equipment:

• get to recoup, 
• rest for maintenance, 
• get cleaned, 
• go out for showcase on display between missions,
• get used as background for music videos and corporate events…

Sealing Shut. Weather Protection  

The key advantage of this specialised roller shutter doors application is the exceptional weather-sealing capabilities it provides. Engineered to withstand various climatic conditions, hangar doors provide a secure barrier against wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. 

Our hangar doors are designed with thermal properties to protect. We use specialised materials such as translucent, arctic, heat-resistant, and sound-insulated fabrics. It’s called Curtain and trust us, it is not something you’ll find at the Oriental Plaza.

These doors contribute to a controlled environment inside the hangar. This not only protects aircraft from extreme temperatures, but also minimises noise pollution with sound insulation to protect from the thunder that a jet produces out on the runway. This creates a more comfortable setting for maintenance crews when they work.  

Speed is of the Essence.

Quick-operation is another defining characteristic of hangar doors for aircraft. Engineered for rapid opening and closing cycles, these doors facilitate swift access to aircraft when needed. This high-velocity response capability is crucial during maintenance operations or emergency scenarios to avoid the spreading of air to a fire for example. It ensures minimal downtime and maximum operational readiness.

Material and Construction of Hangar Doors for Aircraft

Hangar doors are engineered to have a minimal footprint in terms of construction. This reduces the need for extensive civil work during installation, making them a cost-effective choice for hangar upgrades or new builds. Using corrosion-free materials like fabric and aluminium ensures longevity and durability, even in challenging operational environments.

Each hangar door system features an independent and automated system for seamless operation. With minimal movable parts and a fixed automation setup, these doors experience less wear and tear over time, reducing maintenance costs and prolonged service life.
