LIFT STRAP


BIFOLD DOORS

•  Quieter•  Easy to install •  Safer•  Last longer •  Faster•  Easy to maintain

LIFT STRAPS ARE BETTER THAN OUTDATED CABLES

Some manufacturers still continue to try and sell outdated cable lift bifold
doors - cables not only require frequent maintenance due to fraying,
overwrapping or strands breaking , but also only rated for 7,200 Lbs. each,
open much slower, are hard to adjust, are not as reliable as straps, and are
noisier than liftstrap doors. Straps are a better design!

Ninety-nine percent of Schweiss bifold door customers are now demanding the
stronger, patented polyester lift straps. For years, bifold doors were
lifted and lowered by the slow, conventional means of outdated steel
cables, that have a tendency to fray, overwrap, and break.

LIFT STRAPS ARE A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER
THAN CABLES AND EASIER TO INSTALL!

Other manufacturers try to put their spin on cables, but the truth remains that
cables are not easy to work with
and the life expectancy is shorter compared to lift-straps. Cables operate on a
fixed speed, whereas straps lift
your door faster and are exceptionally much safer!


AUTOMATIC STRAP LATCHES...


STRAPS DO THE LATCHING

New clean / simple design!

Strap Latches secure the door in the open position

AUTOMATIC LATCH STRAPS ARE A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER AND EASIER TO INSTALL!


STRAPS DO THE LATCHING!

•   Firmly hold the door against your building in the closed position

•   Adds protection from wind gusts in any position during operation

•   Firmly locks the door to the building when closed

•   Secures the door when opening


90% LESS MOVING PARTS

•   No more cables

•   No more pulleys

•   No more chains

•   No more sprockets

•   No Widgets

•   No linkage rods to mess with

•   Quieter Operation

•   No additional motors needed

Patent Pending

Strap Latch adds protection from wind gusts while operating

Strap Latches secure the door when closed




ADVANTAGES OF THE
AUTOMATIC STRAP LATCHES

This is what every door owner wants and needs. Unlike other latch mechanisms,
the new design will firmly hold the door against your building in all positions;
securing the door when open/partially open and will firmly lock the door when
closed. It will offer added protection from wind gusts while the door is in any
position during operation.

STRAPS SECURES THE DOOR TO THE BUILDING

NEW CLEAN / SIMPLE DESIGN!


ALL-STRAP DOOR


THE NEW EVOLUTION OF BIFOLD DOORS

    Patented    

Bifold Doors have been around for years, but thanks to Schweiss Doors foresight,
they are 1000 times better now! Calls are coming in from owners of all styles of
cable doors wanting to convert to straps.


PATENTED LIFT STRAPS & STRAP LATCHES

Maintenance has dropped off to nothing with the Liftstraps and Latch Straps

•   Liftstraps make the door easier to look over for potential problems

•   Straps certainly require alot less maintenance

•   Virtually no adjustment necessary with straps

•   No more worries about cables fraying or cable clamps slipping


IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN AN ALL-STRAP DOOR

"Cable where just a maintenance nightmare. We were having a lot of problems
keeping the cables adjusted and
replacing broken cables. It was really hard to tell when a cable was slipping,
and it would go from looking
perfectly fine to fraying almost immediately."


CUSTOMERS ASK . . .

"CAN YOU CONVERT OUR OUTDATED CABLE-LIFT DOORS
TO THE SCHWEISS LIFTSTRAPS AND AUTOLATCHES?"

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION! THE ANSWER IS YES!

No matter the make, model or manufacturer of the door you own,
you can see the obvious: Schweiss Liftstrap Bifold doors are a safer,
faster, and better solution than outdated cable lift doors.


STRAP TESTIMONIALS

"Schweiss can convert any
cable bifold door to a
'Lift Strap' bifold door"



"We were having some trouble
with frayed cables.
I'd recommend liftstraps to anyone."



"I do like the liftstraps.
They're a lot less maintenance,
faster and quieter."




"We also like the convenience
of the liftstraps being faster than
the old cables on our door."



"The straps run the door up
faster and safer and I like the
10-year guarantee."



"The decision to get liftstraps
on my bifold door was more of
a safety issue for me."




"We're having zero problems
now with the liftstraps."



"A lot of guys are coming to look at
our door. I'm sure you'll be selling
more Lift Straps, we like 'em!"



"I can't say enough about
your liftstraps, I wish I'd
done it originally."

HINGE DESIGN


BETTER, STRONGER HINGES SELL THE DOOR

While other doors may
appear to be the same on
    the surface, there is really . . .

no comparison !


THE SCHWEISS HYDRAULIC DOOR ADVANTAGES

•   Greasable hinges on each and every hydraulic door.  •   Ability to grease
the top hinges without removing the top rubber seal.  •   All steel doorframe
members . . . No Wood !  •   Quiet gear-driven hydraulic pumps and spherical
bearings on each cylinder. 


"OUR NEW WRAP-AROUND HINGE
DESIGN SETS THE NEW STANDARD
FOR HYDRAULIC DOORS"

Nothing like it on the market

Must be strong

The door weight and hydraulic forces pull down on hinge when door is opening


SCHWEISS HYDRAULIC HINGES PROVIDE EXTRA SUPPORT

"There have been hydraulic doors with hinge welds that failed, literally tearing
off the doorframe and destroying the door," Schweiss says. "Our design team
provided a durable wrap-around hinge with grease zerks that are accessible
without removing the top rubber seal."

STRONGEST HINGES ON THE MARKET!


STRONG DOORFRAME!

Schweiss doorframes are designed with triple push tubes that are tied directly
into the wrap-around hinges that connect each vertical push tube directly to the
header tube. The advantage of triple push tubes is that forces of hydraulic
cylinders are evenly distributed to the doorframe and the wrap-around hinges.

STRONGEST DOORFRAME ON THE MARKET!


WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING...

•   "The hinges sold me."  •   "The Schweiss team hit a home run
by putting grease zerks in their hinges."  •   "Now that's a serious hinge, you
guys
have it figured out!"  •   "Oh my, nothing comes close to your hinges.
Professionally done!"  •   "Nothing on the market that even comes
close to the Schweiss hinge design." 

Schweiss is the only manufacturer to offer hinges that can be greased from
underneath the door without removing the top weather seal.


GREASE ZERKS
ON ALL HINGES

Hinges can be greased
from underneath the door

Others try to get by
using bushings and
welding the hinge pins
in place . . . Not the Schweiss way!


"NO ONE ELSE IN THE INDUSTRY
OFFERS THESE UNIQUE FEATURES"

This Schweiss hydraulic door was designed for 175 mph windload and equipped with
a hydraulic 2-speed valve for smooth operation that includes a 12 volt backup
system in case of a power outage. The door has the newly designed and patented
wrap around hinges that can be lubricated from inside the building, making
maintenance quick and easy!

ONLY AVAILABLE ON SCHWEISS DOORS . . .


SPHERICAL BEARINGS


DOORS ARE ALWAYS MOVING AND FLEXING


SPHERICAL BEARINGS ARE AN
IMPORTANT FEATURE TO HAVE

Hydraulic doors are large in size and just like an airplane wing, the doorframe
flexes during operation. The hydraulic cylinders on each side of the doorway are
connected to the doorframe and the building using spherical bearings. The
spherical bearings accommodate the flexibility of the doorframe while at the
same time allowing the cylinders to raise and lower the door without binding on
the hydraulic cylinder pins and brackets. Spherical Bearings on both ends of the
cylinder allow the cylinders to stay straight through the full range of motion.

"NO ONE ELSE IN THE INDUSTRY OFFERS THIS UNIQUE FEATURE" ONLY AVAILABLE ON
SCHWEISS DOORS...
