Big Trucks Need Big Doors
Most people don’t have an issue pulling their truck into a shop for maintenance or repairs. They call up their local mechanic and pull right into the garage. Well, most people don’t drive a truck like this? This is a haul truck, they’re used in mining and in heavy construction situations. While they don’t drive on the same roads you do, they still need to get in the shop every once in a while for maintenance and repairs. Fortunately, there are specific garages and shops built large enough to fix a truck of this size. Ziegler Cat in Buhl, Minnesota is one of the places these large machines can go to get repaired and maintained.
Ziegler is set up with several 40ft wide by 35ft tall vertical lift doors manufactured by Electric Power Door. These vertical lift doors are built to withstand a high number of cycles and the harsh Minnesota winters. Ziegler has been using EPD doors since the 1970’s and continues to use Electric Power Door as their go-to manufacturer for large doors. Many other companies in the mining industry also trust the quality of EPD for their door needs. Companies like, U.S. Steel, Cleveland-Cliffs, and more.
