Would love to hear from anyone with personal experience of this hanger
Has anyone done anything similar but instead of two on the floor with
one on the floor and hung one from the ceiling on a travelling hoist?
Are there any pictures of the rotating design?

The rotating floor hangar design seems to eliminate these problems but
I assume it's much more expensive.

Actually, it's not the floor that rotates. There is a steel framework
supported by small wheels that rotates and in turn supports the gliders
that
rotate with it. Think of a super dolly. It's really quite simple.
It's
only slightly more expensive and a great deal more useful than open space
hangars.
The only downside I can see is that the hangar can't accept quite as many
gliders as it might if they were packed in an overlapping fashon.
