Retro-Fit Aircraft Hangar Door for Toledo Jet

At Toledo Jet in Swanton, Ohio, efficiency and capability are critical to supporting modern aviation operations. To meet those demands, a major upgrade was completed with the installation of a 95′ x 24′ PowerLift Hydraulic Door, replacing an existing 70′ x 20′ door.

This retrofit dramatically increased the usable opening size, allowing the facility to accommodate larger aircraft and improve overall workflow. The added width and height provide greater flexibility for aircraft movement, reducing limitations that previously impacted daily operations.

Beyond size, the new door delivers the dependable performance PowerLift is known for. With smooth hydraulic operation and a robust design, it ensures reliable access in all conditions while maintaining the structural integrity required for aviation environments.

This project, completed by PowerLift Doors by Metal Monkey, demonstrates how upgrading an existing hangar door can significantly enhance both functionality and efficiency without the need for a full building replacement.

Key features of this project include:

• Expanded opening from 70′ x 20′ to 95′ x 24′
• Increased clear span for improved aircraft access
• Smooth, reliable hydraulic operation
• Retrofit solution that maximizes existing infrastructure

The Toledo Jet upgrade is a strong example of how a well-designed door system can transform a facility, providing the space, performance, and reliability needed to keep operations running at their best.
