Power Door System (PDS)

Powerfully Built to Protect

Armored vehicles are a necessity in military and other tactical operations; however, each armored door can weigh more than 1,000 pounds and is virtually impossible to open or close quickly during combat operations. With Control Solutions' patented Power Door System, these potentially dangerous doors open and close with ease, regardless of condition and environment.

​

The Power Door System (PDS) provides a complete turnkey solution for safely and quickly opening and closing the heavy armored doors on the MRAP and other tactical vehicles, even on steep uphill or downhill slopes. The PDS is the only electro-hydraulic system that can open the door even when the vehicle is on its side. The feature-rich door assist system provides the vehicle crew with the ability to operate the doors when the truck power system is inoperable, limits ingress by unwanted personnel, provides emergency egress, and features programmable stop locations, intelligent battery charging, fail-safe activation, and a host of other provisions that enhance the operation, efficiency, and safety of the passengers.
