REINVENTING
HANGAR ACCESS SINCE 1960.

A different idea from the start.

In 1960, PARA-PORT introduced a fundamentally different approach to the hangar door.

 

Instead of heavy rigid panels or side-stacking sections, the PARA-PORT system used a single-panel membrane that rolls upward from the bottom.

​

The result was a simpler way to open large aviation facilities while reducing structural and spatial demands and keeping major operating components accessible at ground level.

​

 

Decades of service proved it. 

More than sixty years later, original PARA-PORT systems remain in operation.

​

Materials, controls, drives, and manufacturing methods have evolved, but the underlying bottom roll-up architecture has endured.

​

That longevity reflects the principle behind the system from the beginning: reduce unnecessary complexity and design for dependable, serviceable operation over the long term.

​

​

PARA-PORT today. 

Today, PARA-PORT designs and delivers project-specific hangar door systems for new construction, replacement, and renewal applications.

​

Every project begins with the facility, the opening, and the operational requirements. Rather than adapting a standard catalog door to the project, PARA-PORT configures the system around the application.

​

The result is proven architecture engineered for the needs of each facility.
