Schweiss Doors Expands in Minnesota

April 14, 2023

Schweiss Doors has erected a new manufacturing facility in Minnesota that will also serve as a showcase for the company’s new “free-standing” header frames.

A post-frame building erected in 1960 was torn down to make room for the 90-foot by 94-foot metal building with an inside clearance of 20 feet. The building features three hydraulic doors that illustrate the company’s free-standing header frames integrated into the hydraulic doors, allowing the doors to support themselves with no reliability on the building structure itself.

Schweiss says the expansion will serve as an additional door building shop, featuring six welders and custom-designed hoist systems throughout the facility to help maneuver the door frames.
