Emporia, Kansas Airport Hangars Get an Upgrade with PowerLift
Out with the old and in with the new! Two aircraft hangars at the Emporia, Kansas Airport recently received a major upgrade with the installation of new PowerLift Hydraulic Doors, replacing their original accordion-style doors with a modern, reliable hydraulic door system.
The project included two retrofit PowerLift Doors measuring 63′ x 18′ and 63′ x 15′. These large openings provide easy access for aircraft while offering smooth hydraulic operation, dependable performance, and the durability PowerLift Doors are known for.
Completed by S&S PowerLift Hydraulic Doors, this project demonstrates one of the many advantages of choosing PowerLift for an existing building. Rather than constructing an entirely new hangar, the airport was able to upgrade its existing facilities with doors designed to fit the structures. PowerLift’s retrofit capabilities make it possible to modernize older buildings while maximizing usable opening space.
Unlike traditional accordion-style doors, PowerLift Hydraulic Doors lift upward and outward, creating a wide, unobstructed opening without door panels taking up valuable space along the sides. This makes them an excellent option for aircraft hangars where accessibility, clearance, and efficient use of space are essential.
Whether it’s replacing outdated hangar doors or outfitting a brand-new aviation facility, PowerLift Hydraulic Doors offer a strong, dependable solution built for long-term performance.
