We manufacture and install custom hangars in 2 to 5 weeks. No foundations. Fully mobile.
PanHorizon designs and manufactures mobile pneumatic hangars with an automatic pressure system that eliminates the need for continuous inflation. These high-strength PVC membrane structures with a pneumatic frame allow the rapid creation of a protected space for the storage and maintenance of mining equipment, without major construction work or complex foundations.

“We design custom pneumatic hangars for all types of mining equipment, from dump trucks to excavators. The main advantage of this design is the complete absence of internal supports. This maximises the available space and makes it possible to comfortably accommodate even the largest machines.”
“Every hangar is designed with a high-strength PVC membrane pneumatic structure. The joints are cut and welded to millimetre accuracy, ensuring the airtightness and strength of the whole structure. We use neither sewing nor glue. Thanks to our technology, installation takes only 2 to 10 days, and the hangar itself can be dismantled and moved to another sector of the quarry if needed.”
“Clients choose PanHorizon pneumatic hangars for their fast and cost-effective solution: production in 2 to 5 weeks, installation without foundations and the ability to relocate the structure as the quarry advances. This is a decisive advantage for mining companies.”
Advantages of pneumatic hangars for the mining sector:
Our production capacity reaches 20,000 m2 of structures per month.
We supply and install hangars in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and other countries.

- Fast installation — assembly in 2 to 10 days
- No internal supports — maximum free space
- High strength — resistant to wind, weather and temperature variations
- Mobility — the hangar can be dismantled and transported without material loss
- Cost-effective — significantly cheaper than permanent buildings, including maintenance
- No foundations — can be installed on any prepared site
- Versatility — suitable for both storage and maintenance
Why a pneumatic hangar is preferable to a metal hangar for the storage and maintenance of mining equipment
When choosing a structure for quarry equipment, the decisive criteria are free interior geometry, speed of commissioning, absence of foundations and the ability to follow the advance of the working face.
A classic metal hangar has several major limitations:
- Internal supports that reduce usable space and complicate the manoeuvring of large machines
- The need for heavy foundations and long construction times
- High difficulty and cost of moving or expanding the structure
- A permanent facility that is hard to adapt to evolving quarries

We take into account wind loads, locations for embedded fittings and connection points for engineering systems.
We manufacture the frame
All joints are made by high-frequency and thermal welding. We test for airtightness.
We assemble and fix it to the site
We connect engineering networks, ventilation, lighting and video surveillance.
We will answer all your questions.
QUESTION:
What keeps the structure standing?
ANSWER:
A valve system automatically regulates the pressure in the pneumatic frame.
Question:
Does it need to be reinflated regularly?
ANSWER:
No. The system works automatically and activates only when needed. Continuous inflation is not required.
Question:
Is the structure sensitive to power outages?
ANSWER:
No. The equipment can run on a solar panel and easily tolerates interruptions of several hours.
Question:
How long does it take to install a mining hangar?
ANSWER:
On average from 2 to 10 days, depending on the size of the structure.
Question:
Are foundations required?
ANSWER:
No. The hangars are installed on a prepared site without permanent foundations. Ballast (sand) or anchoring systems are used.
Question:
Can a hangar be designed for a specific type of mining equipment?
ANSWER:
Yes. We size each structure according to the characteristics of your mining equipment and your specific needs.
Question:
What is the service life of a pneumatic hangar?
ANSWER:
More than 25 years under normal operating conditions.
Question:
Do you work with mining companies and government clients?
ANSWER:
Yes. We carry out projects for both private mining companies and government organisations and subcontractors.
Question:
Which African countries do you work with?
ANSWER:
We have a branch in Togo and, from the port of Lomé, we ship hangar assembly kits in sea containers across English-speaking Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Liberia, Sierra Leone and others) and the Middle East.
Why choose PanHorizon pneumatic hangars for the mining sector?
The design of facilities intended for the storage and maintenance of mining equipment on quarries and remote sites imposes strict technical requirements. Pneumatic-frame structures with PVC membrane have been developed to meet the extreme conditions of West and Central Africa: abrasive dust, intense UV radiation, high temperatures and significant climatic variations.
Wind load calculations are set in the range of 35 to 45 m/s depending on the exposure of the site and the region of installation. These values guarantee the stability of the structure even on open platforms frequently subjected to strong winds. Snow loads, although secondary in most of the climatic zones concerned, are included between 80 and 150 kg/m² to ensure versatility of use. The operating temperature range extends from –50 °C to +70 °C, covering the extreme conditions of the Sahelian regions as well as more temperate or high-altitude zones.
The envelope is made of reinforced PVC membrane with a density of 650 to 900 g/m² and a thickness of 0.55 to 0.80 mm. This material was selected for its high tensile strength, excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation and its ability to withstand the abrasive conditions of mining dust. It also meets fire safety requirements (classification G1 / RP2 / B2), an important criterion for industrial and mining installations.
The expected service life of the structure exceeds 25 years under normal operating conditions. The automatic internal pressure regulation system operates in the range of 1.5 to 3.0 kPa and intervenes only in the event of a significant variation. The required electrical power varies from 0.7 to 8 kW depending on the covered area, which limits energy consumption, particularly on remote sites where the power supply may be limited or expensive. Continuous fan operation is not necessary.
All membrane joints are made exclusively by high-frequency and thermal welding. No sewing or glue is used. This method guarantees lasting airtightness and superior mechanical strength of the joints throughout the service life of the structure. Fixing points for technical networks (ventilation, lighting, video surveillance, fire detection, extinguishing) are integrated from the design stage. This anticipation makes it possible to precisely adapt the hangar to the specific needs of each mining site: storage of heavy equipment, maintenance workshop, spare parts warehouse or temporary protection zone.
The complete absence of internal supports maximises the usable volume and facilitates the manoeuvring of the largest machines (dump trucks, excavators, loaders). The structure is designed to accept the integration of light overhead cranes, lifting systems and maintenance equipment adapted to quarry conditions.
