KINZE Offset-Pivot Hydraulic Door

Built on Kinze’s 60-year history of building innovative, durable, and easily maintained equipment, these doors were initially designed and manufactured out of the need for large doors at Kinze Manufacturing in the 1980s. Since then, numerous doors have been built for production facilities, machine sheds, and aircraft hangars – continuously improved with over 40 years of research, development, and practical use.

Cylinders Built In-House.
Refined Over Decades.

Kinze has earned its reputation by engineering dependable hydraulic systems for demanding agricultural applications. That experience is built into every hydraulic door we produce. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf hydraulic cylinders, Kinze designs and builds its hydraulic cylinders in-house, giving us complete control over system performance, component quality, and reliability. Every cylinder is engineered to work seamlessly with the door, delivering smooth operation, dependable lifting power, and the long-term durability customers expect from the Kinze name.
