Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge.
Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.
Specification options
- Limits set and tested
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Smart and timer control options
