Types Of Commercial Door Operators

There are three main types of commercial door operators:

1. Trolly operators are equipped with an electric lift mechanism fixed on the ceiling. The mechanism is attached to a long rail that has a trolley, which, when connected to the commercial door, can lift and lower it. Trolley operators are typically used for sectional doors and are efficient, reliable, and easy to operate.
   
2. Jackshaft operators are located beside the door and use the rotational force of several pulleys and chains to move the door. They are often used for rolling doors and those with limited headspace and require minimal maintenance.
   
3. Hoist operators are similar to jackshaft operators and are mounted to the side of the door. They’re robust and reliable, making them an excellent choice for high-traffic areas.
   

Commercial door operators are available at different speeds and horsepower to suit the needs of your business.

Features Of Our Commercial Door Operators

Here’s a look at some of the unique features of many of our commercial operators:

• Timer-to-close feature. This mechanism automatically shuts the door after a pre-determined time limit. This ensures your facility door is never left open.
  
• Reversing systems. When objects pass through the infrared beam, the commercial door automatically stops closing and then reverses to prevent injury.
  
• Battery backup. This ensures your door works as intended during a power outage.
  
• Auto-seek dual frequency. The door opener uses 315 or 390 MHz frequency to avoid potential nearby interference and ensure the system doesn’t experience any interruptions.
  
  
• Maintenance alert system (MAS). Provides open/close/stop functions and notifies you when maintenance is required.
  
• Encryption systems. Some models can encrypt each wireless remote code to permit only authorized entries.
  
• Remote access. Many of our models have Wi-Fi capability, so you can operate and check the status of your door from anywhere through your smartphone, computer, or tablet.
  

What Type of Commercial Door Operator Does Your Business Need?

No two commercial door operators are alike, so finding the right one for your business requires many considerations. Here are some key factors to consider.

• Frequency of use. The volume of traffic coming and going through your doors will determine both the cycle capacity and speed of door operator you need. A higher horsepower will cost you more but may be unnecessary if you have low traffic flow. On the other hand, heavy traffic could cause a less powerful model to wear out prematurely from overuse.
  
• Type of door. The details that determine your needs for an operator include measurements for width and height, whether the door is insulated, and the type of backing material. Ideally, you can find the make and model number on a sticker attached to the door, which we can use to track down the critical details.
  
• Track type. The specialist will need to know how much clearance there is above and beside the door. They’ll also need to know mechanical details like whether the track goes straight up or follows your roof’s slope.
  
• Security and safety needs. Automatic closure functionality is a safeguard against trespassers slipping in behind an authorized entrance. Additionally, a sensor can detect and automatically stop the door when an object or person hasn’t yet cleared its path of motion.
  
• Energy efficiency. If your interior space has heated or cooled air, you may benefit from a mid-stop feature that allows the garage door to open only partway and minimize the amount of heated or cooled interior air from escaping.
