Company (RRCC), a prime contractor for US
Army Corps of Engineers in Afghanistan, has
recently specified P C Henderson’s Sterling
8000 industrial sliding door hardware for
the repair of an aircraft hangar at Kandahar
International Airport, Afghanistan.
Serving as the country’s second largest
international airport and home to one of its
largest military bases (Kandahar Airfield)
the airport is capable of housing up to 250
aircrafts at any one time. The project brief
required repair and restoration of the door
system at Hangar 530, bringing it back to its
fully functioning condition.
In total, 16 Sterling 8000 products were
used including 32 top guide rollers to cater
for the eight leaves of the Hangar door.
The requirements of the project demanded
that the top guide rollers were horizontal,
each with a single or double steel roller, of
suitable diameter and thickness, for optimum
performance under the designated load
conditions. It was also important that the
product had permanently lubricated bearings,
was made out of stainless steel and could easily
be removed for cleaning to keep the product
in optimum condition.
