GDI Industrial
Openers

Brushless direct-drive garage door operators built for high-cycle reliability in the harshest environments. No chains, no belts, no compromises.

Direct Drive

Brushless Motors

No chains, no belts, no brushes — sealed brushless direct-drive power delivers cool, quiet torque with dramatically longer service life and zero brush maintenance.

IP69K Sealed

Built for Harsh Environments

Fully sealed against water, dust, and corrosion. From car wash bays to livestock facilities — GDI keeps running when conditions get ugly.

1M+ Cycles

Maximum Uptime

Precision gearing and robust motors handle heavy use, rated for over one million cycles in demanding environments. Fewer parts mean fewer failures.

Key Features

At GDI Operators, reliability isn't just a feature — it's the foundation. From fast-moving parkades to washdown zones and extreme climates, every feature reflects a focus on dependability, safety, and long-term value.

High Speed Operators

Opens and closes rapidly with controlled acceleration and soft-stop to reduce tailgating risk and keep queues moving safely.

Battery Backup

Optional 36V DC backup keeps doors operating during outages — 50–200 cycles per charge, then auto-recharges when power returns.

Cold Environment

Certified to operate down to −40°C with cold-rated components and lubricants for dependable performance in extreme cold.

Wet Zone Ready

Fully sealed housings, marine-grade components, and watertight connectors for washdown and high-humidity areas.

Whisper-Quiet Operation

Noise-dampened drive and housing design minimize sound levels — ideal for residential, healthcare, and mixed-use buildings.

Chemical Resistant

Non-corrosive materials and sealed enclosures stand up to aggressive cleaners and industrial chemicals.

Ultra-Low Profile Motors

Compact form factor fits tight headroom or side clearances while maintaining the torque needed for reliable operation.

Smart by Design

Soft start/stop, auto limit settings, overload protection, and seamless integration with modern access and safety systems.

Brushless Direct Drive

No wearing parts, no belt or brush maintenance — cool, quiet torque and a dramatically longer service life.

Technology

Why Brushless?

GDI uses brushless direct-drive motors — eliminating the failure points that plague traditional brushed motor operators.

Why Brushed Motors Fail

Brushes scrape a spinning commutator — constant wear
Sparks and arcing create hazards in wet or corrosive areas
Heat buildup reduces lifespan and causes shutdowns
Carbon dust contaminates seals and electronics
Noise and vibration get worse over time
More parts to service = more downtime

GDI Brushless Advantage

No wearing parts — zero brush maintenance
Sealed construction safe for wet and corrosive areas
Cool running with extended operational life
Clean operation with no carbon dust contamination
Quiet from day one and stays that way
Fewer parts = less downtime, lower service costs
