Aircraft Sliding Hangar Doors for Modern Aviation Infrastructure
Aircraft hangars are critical operational spaces where safe, efficient and uninterrupted access is essential for aircraft movement, maintenance and daily operations. Whether accommodating routine maintenance, aircraft assembly or daily operations, the hangar door must provide reliable access, smooth functionality and long-term durability. Gandhi Aircraft Sliding Hangar Doors are engineered to meet these demands, combining robust construction, intelligent design and customised solutions for aviation facilities worldwide.
Designed for commercial aviation, MRO facilities, aircraft manufacturing, defence aviation, FBOs and private hangars, our Aircraft Sliding Hangar Doors are custom-built to suit virtually any hangar size and operational requirement. Their modular construction enables exceptionally large clear openings, providing unobstructed aircraft access while maximising the available hangar space.
No two aviation projects are alike, and neither are their hangar door requirements. Our Aircraft Sliding Hangar Doors are available in uni-directional, bi-directional, multi-directional and telescopic configurations, enabling each solution to be tailored to the facility’s layout and operational workflow. The result is seamless aircraft access, efficient space utilisation and a door system designed around the customer’s exact needs.
Customisation extends beyond door configurations. Our Aircraft Sliding Hangar Doors are available with a range of cladding options to meet both functional and architectural requirements. Polycarbonate cladding enhances natural daylight in the hangar, improving visibility while reducing the need for artificial lighting and lowering energy consumption. Insulated PUF panels deliver superior thermal insulation for climate-controlled environments, while corrugated panels provide a durable and economical solution for demanding aviation facilities.
Built for large-span aviation applications, our Aircraft Sliding Hangar Doors feature a bottom-rolling mechanism that transfers the door’s weight directly to the ground, making them ideal for handling large door leaves. An effective weather sealing system helps minimise dust and sand ingress, ensuring smooth operation in diverse environmental conditions.
Ease of operation and safety are integral to the design. Heavy-duty drive units enable smooth door movement, while audible and visual warning alarms, photoelectric sensors and anti-collision devices contribute to safer day-to-day operations. In the event of a power outage, the doors can also be manually operated, ensuring continued access whenever required.
With decades of expertise in entrance automation, Gandhi Automations delivers customised Aircraft Sliding Hangar Doors tailored to the unique requirements of each aviation project. From engineering and manufacturing to installation and after-sales support, every solution is designed to enhance aircraft accessibility, optimise hangar operations, and meet the evolving needs of modern aviation infrastructure.
