Vertical Lifting Shipyard Doors or Fabric Hoist-Up Doors

Vertical Lifting Shipyard Doors, also known as Fabric Hoist-up Doors, operate on a simple vertical lifting mechanism in which the door moves upward along the guides while the PVC-coated polyester fabric folds neatly into pleats and the intermediate beams stack compactly. This space-efficient design eliminates the need for side clearance, bottom tracks, or heavy foundations, making it ideal for ultra-large shipyard openings.

Vertical Lifting Fabric Fold-Up Doors are engineered to withstand high wind pressures, heavy rainfall, and harsh weather conditions while maintaining structural stability and reliable performance. Manufactured using corrosion-resistant and reinforced materials, along with durable PVC-coated polyester fabric, these doors provide excellent protection against salt exposure, moisture, and challenging marine environments.

Craneway Door System for Shipyards

For shipyard facilities equipped with overhead cranes, Vertical Lifting Fabric Fold-Up Doors can be integrated with a specialised Craneway Door system. This configuration features an independently operated central section, allowing cranes and suspended loads to pass through safely and efficiently. Designed for a precise fit around crane rails, the system ensures seamless integration with the building structure while supporting uninterrupted operations.

Sliding Shipyard Doors

Sliding Shipyard Doors are a highly reliable entrance automation solution designed for large access requirements in shipyards and heavy industrial environments. Operating on a bottom-rolling mechanism, these doors transfer the entire structural load directly to the ground, ensuring smooth operation and structural stability. Engineered for demanding marine conditions, they are built to withstand high wind loads, abrasion, corrosion, and harsh environmental conditions.

Sliding Shipyard Doors can be configured in uni-directional, bi-directional, or multi-directional arrangements to suit specific operational and site requirements. A wide range of cladding options is also available to meet functional, environmental, and architectural needs, making these doors a fully customised solution for modern shipbuilding facilities, shipyards, and ports.
