The one-piece hydraulic door got its start in 1994, when a Cottonwood, Minnesota welding shop got a call from a customer searching for a solution and frustrated with what the door industry was offering. The customer was looking for a shed door, larger than a roll-up could accommodate, and much sturdier than the rickety bi-fold. The hydraulic advantage was instantly obvious, and the small company began to have an immediate impact on the door industry.

Today, we proudly embrace our heritage of small, agricultural beginnings, and bring that philosophy forward, incorporating it with the modern technological requirements of today - a combination that has placed us firmly at the top of our game in the large door market. With our modern approach, and unmatched commitment to customer satisfaction, Hydroswing is set to meet your exact requirements, from the individual farmer to the multi-door aviation, T-hangar, architectural glass or large industrial project. For building companies, architects, developer, airport managers and municipalities, Hydroswing is the ultimate supply chain provider and partner.

The People
Our entire team is committed to personal service - from start to finish - with each and every customer. Even through our growth, customer service remains our priority.

The Technology
Hydroswing combines strength, commitment, and design engineering across
the full range of products, enabling our customers – large and small – to

Element Analysis (FEA, see diagram), ensuring Hydroswing’s
strength, reliability and integrity is passed from the team who
manufactured it, to the customer who bought it, for a lifetime of
strong, solid performance.

The Inovation
Innovations and increased production capacity to in excess of several
thousand doors per year, including aircraft hangar doors, agricultural
doors, commercial and architectural doors, and now the THD,
T-Hangar Door line and AGD agricultural lines. And the introduction
of our HydroMax, large door product line, in the 100’-200’ range,
see us set to lead and dominate across all markets. Hydroswing
in Europe is selling increased quantities to our export market with
all products being manufactured in our US facility for added scale
economies flowing to you the customer in the form of lower prices
and better product.

Advances in the understanding of our product and our customers have resulted in unmatched innovation, including our patented side trussing, which allows us to make our largest door to date at 150 feet wide by 40 feet tall, and we have design in progress which will deliver the world’s first Solar-Hydraulic hangar building system, to be unveiled in 2010.
