Premier Door Co., of Stewart, Minn., has served the construction industry since 1998, providing expertise in hydraulics and precision metal fabrication to engineer custom-built solutions for its customers.
The company has evolved from building shopping carts for the federal government to fabricating construction equipment attachments for skid steers, telehandlers, rough-terrain tools and wireless remote systems. From this success, Premier has become a well-known provider of hydraulic door systems serving a variety of industries, including aviation, commercial, retail, residential and industrial markets.
Farm-Rite Equipment of Dassel, Minn., recently installed a new Strap bifold door system from Premier Door Co. The door size is an impressive 43 ft. x 7.75 in. wide by 23 ft. tall and features a custom header. The Strap bifold door system is equipped with a bottom drive and fully automated door operator.
David Cox, sales manager of Farm-Rite Equipment, explained the primary reason for choosing this large new door was to accommodate bigger equipment. Previously, the company had only one door, which was located by the wash bay area, creating a bottleneck. Now, with two doors in place, there is a backup if one breaks down, allowing Farm-Rite to bring in much larger equipment like the new full-size Bobcat excavators.
In addition to the door installation, Premier added a concrete apron along the front of the door. The entire experience was seamless, and according to Cox, Premier was incredibly easy to work with. The door itself has been a great addition to the shop.
Farm-Rite is a four-location Bobcat dealership group in Minnesota that carries Bobcat, Scag, Felling, Towmaster, Midsota Trailers and Diamond Mowers. The company offers equipment sales, parts, service and rentals.
"At Premier Door Co., we take immense pride in our hands-on approach, from engineering and manufacturing to installation," said Kerry Johnson, marketing manager of Premier Door Co. "Every door is built by a team that understands materials, mechanics, electronics and real-world needs. We've invested time, resources and vision to create automated hydraulic and strap bifold doors that truly reflect the high standards demanded by these industries."
