The third time’s the charm for this (NEW) Hydroswing Customer.

Three! That’s how many times this newly converted Hydroswing customer has had to replace the bi-fold doors he put on the machine shed next to his rural home. Each time, with the same, disasterous results: When faced with the all to common challenge of extreme high winds - each one of the bi-folds flipped over and landed on the roof of his shed.

The Chandler, Minnesota customer described the most recent scene... The 30’ x 15’ bi-fold was in the open position when winds reached speeds of 68 MPH. Upon inspection of his property after the storm, he found that the bi-fold door had - once again - been ripped over 180 degrees onto the roof of his shed once again.”

The next call he made was to Hydroswing.

Salesman Wes Torke took the call and immediately made the two hour drive to inspect the site. What he found there was not all that uncommon. Jason Wing, Hydroswing’s Vice President explains, “The lift system of a bi-fold door means that the door is lifted and held UP by straps or cables... but held DOWN by nothing. This invites wind to sweep in under the door and catch the wedge on the way out, having the kite-like result you see here.

In contrast, the Hydroswing hydraulic ram technology lifts and holds the door UP, while simultaneously securing it in position and holding it DOWN, providing resistance to even the highest winds.

Ironically enough, a Hydroswing customer from Illinois recently called in to boast that his 45’ x 18’ Hydroswing door had just withstood 70 mph winds... while in the open position! The door didn’t budge!

Hydroswing strength and security add up to an unbeatable and - “unflippable” - VALUE! .
