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.
No wearing parts, no belt or brush maintenance — cool, quiet torque and a dramatically longer service life.
Why Brushless?
GDI uses brushless direct-drive motors — eliminating the failure points that plague traditional brushed motor operators.
Why Brushed Motors Fail
