The product

Pre-engineered overhead drive, with no springs to tension

Motor, lifting belts and safety brake sit inside a unified lintel shaft assembly, for rapid installation and low-maintenance operation.

  1. Direct drive, no counterbalance

    A brushless tubular motor with a built-in inverter turns the shaft directly. There are no springs to size, tension or replace.

  2. Adjusts to the opening on site

    A centre bearing and a rigid coupling join the two shaft sections, so one kit adapts by up to 50 cm in width with no special calculations.

  3. Fall protection built in

    A safety brake on its own shaft holds the door if the drive ever fails, with up to 1,444 Nm of anti-fall torque.
