CANOPY DOORS
Your facility is unique in its design, size and usage. Its Canopy door must be
also…custom designed by Fleming engineers who will carefully assist you
in selecting the most suitable type. The Canopy type door is used not only as
the primary door system, but also for special applications; such as an Aircraft
Tail Door in combination with slide doors, or Special Vehicle Entry Doors.
Canopy Doors by Fleming feature...
- Fast, dependable, all-weather operation with absolute safety
- Tight weathering for maximum heat conservation
- Low yearly maintenance expense

UNBRACED CANOPY DOORS

guided by curved tracks and jamb rollers. Ideal for many types of roofs. Unbraced
Canopy Doors require minimum structural support and headroom requirements.

Unbraced Canopy Door: CESSNA CITATION Jet Facility in Wichita,
Kansas, uses three Fleming Motorized UNBRACED CANOPY Doors 80'-0" wide by
21'-6" high.
The use of one or more independent horizontal sections side by side makes the Braced Arm Canopy Door ideal for any width opening. Each section is an average of between 60' and 100' wide, and may be operated independently or in combination. The bracing system distributes wind loads into the building framework, guiding door movements without a need for jamb or side guides.

guide tracks and braced/Radius arms are clearly visible. Additionally, the manually
operated Truck Swing Doors can be easily seen in the right hand leaf.
Constructed in totally independent horizontal sections, Telescopic Canopy Doors do not require side guides. Any width opening can be filled with a number of sections installed side by side, and operated independently, in combination or in unison. Each section, normally 60' to 100' wide, consists of a vertically rising lower- and top hinged upper leaf. The canopy is formed when the lower leaf moves up behind the top leaf and both swing out.

INDUSTRIAL CANOPY DOORS
Where headroom is limited and floor space is at a premium, Fleming INDUSTRIAL
CANOPY DOORS have a proven track record. Installations on foundries, warehouses,
rail and truck docks and many other industrial buildings, demonstrate the versatility
of a Fleming CANOPY DOOR.
