ONE PROVEN SYSTEM
FOR EVERY HANGAR DOOR DECISION.
For problem doors, new construction, or planned renewal, PARA-PORT provides a proven path to reliable access, greater usable space and lo long-term ownership cost.
Choose your project path.
Much more than just a door decision.
PARA-PORT rises vertically without side-stacking sections, potentially recovering usable width and floor area. A project review can determine whether that improves positioning, aircraft mix, or capacity without expanding the building.
Problem Doors
Stop paying to keep a bad hangar door running
Repair calls, adjustments, and downtime add up long before a door fails outright. When a door fails closed, aircraft are stuck inside. PARA-PORT replaces the problem door while limiting structural and mechanical work on the building.
Why PARA-PORT fits a problem-door replacement
-
System design can limit added demand on the existing structure.
-
Vertical rise can recover space consumed by side-stacking panels, tracks, or lateral restrictions.
-
System design facilitates seamless integration and rapid replacement.
-
Work can be sequenced through removal, installation, and return to service.
Solve the immediate access problem without creating the next one.
New Construction
Design the door and building
as one system
Early specification coordinates the opening, structure, aircraft requirements, operating system, and usable capacity.
Late-stage selection can create avoidable structural demand, coordination issues, and cost.
Start with the mission
Design should address aircraft mix, opening, frequency, site and wind conditions, maintenance, flexibility, and ownership horizon.
Design advantages
-
Lower system weight can give the building design team greater flexibility.
-
Vertical rise preserves the full span without side-stacking storage zones.
-
Provides operational continuity and minimal maintenance requirements for generations
Design and specification support

Installation planning and technical review
Specify hangar access correctly from the start
Planned Renewal
Renew the door before it disrupts the operation
Planned renewal replaces an aging or maintenance-intensive door before reliability becomes an emergency.
The door still works, but it's aging, and you want the replacement in the capital plan, not on an emergency PO.
Move from reactive repair to controlled renewal
A renewal review aligns conditions, structural and aircraft needs, capital timing, installation, and commissioning with operations.
Use renewal to improve the facility
Replacing a side-stacking system may recover opening width and floor area, improving aircraft positioning or deferring expansion, subject to site review.
A long-term ownership decision
In production since 1960, with original systems still operating, PARA-PORT offers a proven alternative to repeated repairs and replacement cycles.
Replace uncertainty with a planned path forward
