Motor Driven
Motor Operation
You often see motor operators in parking garages, distribution facilities, paint booths, and car washes. Motor operation is the most effective and consistent method of opening larger, higher cycle doors and offers the following benefits:
- Longevity: Offers the most consistent method of operation, and as such, maximizes door longevity
- Ease of Use: Can link to one-touch, or even no touch, opening triggers such as a push button station or a loop detector
- Safety: Accommodates entrapment devices such as photo eyes and sensing edges
- Remote Activation: Can be integrated into master building controls to operate doors remotely
- Durability: Can be designed to withstand weather, chemicals, or even explosions
NOTE: Motor operation does require power to the opening and enough clearance to mount the motor. In the event of a power outage, auxiliary operators can be used (push up or chain, depending on door size and configuration).
Direct Drive Operator with Apex™ SmartController
The motor and advanced control system shipped with each door is specifically designed for reliability and longevity when used as a rolling steel door operator. The hollow shaft motor unit features a direct drive gear reduced, emergency hand chain and a high efficiency motor and solenoid brake.
The advanced control system is a solid state, microprocessor-based control system. It represents the latest in rolling steel door drive technology and has been configured and set-up exclusively for each door.

Tube Motor Operator
A concealed tubular motor offers a smaller, more compact motor design for counter shutters, fire shutters, grilles and gates. It is the ideal solution for strict dimensional limitations around the header, as it requires less clearance than standard motor operators. In addition, due to its reduced size, it is ideal for enhancing aesthetics.
Tube Motor Operator Features:
- Convenience of motor operation in a low profile, sleek design
- Easy to install and functionality consistent with our SGH operators
- Compact side room and light weight
- Improved daily cycle usage - 5 cycles/hour
- UL325 listed
- Available in 3" and 4" type motors to work with a wide range of door sizes
- Auxiliary hand crank for emergency operation
- Cycle counter
- Terminal connection for a monitored entrapment protection device
- Onboard open and close limit signaling connections
- 24 VDC warning output signal when the door is moving
