Steel portal frame aircraft hangars deliver the wide clear spans, tall openings, and unobstructed floor space that aviation demands, at a fraction of the cost and build time of conventional hangar construction. From single-aircraft private hangars to multi-bay commercial facilities, the engineering starts with your aircraft dimensions and works outward.
| Hangar Type | Typical Span | Door Width | Door Height | Typical Aircraft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private / GA | 12m to 18m | 12m to 15m | 3.6m to 4.5m | Cessna, Piper, Cirrus, light twins |
| Multi-aircraft / FBO | 18m to 30m | 18m to 24m | 5m to 6m | Turboprops, light jets, helicopters |
| Commercial MRO | 30m to 50m+ | 30m+ | 6m to 10m+ | Regional jets, turboprops, corporate jets |
| Helicopter | 15m to 24m | 15m to 18m | 4.5m to 6m | Robinson, Bell, Eurocopter |
| Agricultural / crop dusting | 18m to 24m | 15m to 18m | 4.5m to 5m | Air Tractor, Thrush, Dromader |
The door is the most critical element of any hangar. Options include:
Internal columns are not acceptable in aircraft hangars. Every structure is clearspan portal frame, no obstructions between the walls. Wing walkers, tow bars, and ground handling equipment need unimpeded movement.
Aircraft hangars require a high-quality concrete floor, typically 150mm minimum thickness, steel-reinforced, power-floated with a hard-wearing surface. The floor must handle aircraft wheel loads (concentrated point loads), tug traffic, and chemical resistance to aviation fuel and hydraulic fluid.
The hangar apron and taxiway connection must meet aerodrome standards. Floor levels, door sill heights, and apron grades need to align with taxiway grades for smooth aircraft movement.
We don’t publish price ranges, because every hangar is engineered for its own site and built to its own design. The price comes down to wingspan and clear span, door opening height and width, the number of aircraft and your wind region. Commercial hangars are always project priced.
Kit supply includes frame, cladding, and engineering. Hangar doors, concrete, fit-out, and CASA compliance items are additional. Start a design online or call 07 2145 5533.
