At PowerLift Doors, every hangar door we build is designed to do more than simply open and close—it’s built to enhance functionality, maximize access, and create a lasting impression. A recent project at Josephburg Airport in Alberta is a perfect example of what a custom-engineered hydraulic door can accomplish.

Installed by PowerLift Doors of Central Alberta, this impressive 76′ x 19′ hydraulic aircraft hangar door transforms the entire front of the building into a wide-open, unobstructed entrance. The result is exceptional aircraft accessibility, increased usable hangar space, and a striking appearance that elevates the entire facility.

Large aircraft hangar doors demand precision engineering, reliable performance, and structural integrity. This PowerLift hydraulic door was designed to deliver all three. By opening as a single, solid unit, the door provides full-clear access without overhead tracks, cables, or other obstructions commonly found in conventional door systems. The clean design creates a spacious environment that makes moving aircraft in and out of the hangar simple and efficient.

For hangar owner Desi Uniat of Hangar V, the completed project exceeded expectations.

“Thanks to Eric & crew for building me such an amazing door – I’m absolutely blown away! This massive hydraulic door opens up the whole front of our hangar perfectly and makes the place look like a million bucks! The quality and engineering are top shelf — exactly what I was hoping for and more.

Huge thank you to the whole PowerLift team for such outstanding work! My planes (and I) are loving it!”

Receiving feedback like this is what drives our team every day. From the initial planning stages through installation and final operation, our goal is to provide customers with a door system that delivers lasting value, dependable performance, and pride of ownership.

This project also highlights the expertise of the PowerLift Doors of Central Alberta team. Their commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail ensured a smooth installation process and an exceptional final result. The finished hangar now features a door system that not only performs flawlessly but also enhances the overall appearance and functionality of the building.

Whether it’s a private aviation hangar, commercial aircraft facility, agricultural building, or custom shop, PowerLift hydraulic doors are engineered to provide maximum clear opening space, reliable operation, and long-term durability. For aircraft owners in particular, having unrestricted access to the hangar can make all the difference in daily operations and overall convenience.

We would like to thank Desi Uniat for trusting PowerLift Doors with this project and congratulate Eric and the PowerLift Doors of Central Alberta team on another successful installation. We look forward to seeing this impressive hangar serve its purpose for many years to come.
