Overhead Motors

Operators for overhead and vertical-lift gate and door openings — mounted, wired and configured with the controls that run them.

(714) 510-2878

What It Is

Automation above the opening instead of beside it

Overhead operators drive an opening from above, which suits sites with no room for a gate to slide or swing. They're typically found on commercial and industrial entrances, yard openings and service bays.

What We Look At

Confirmed at the Opening

Overhead applications live and die on structure and clearance, so both are verified on site.

  • 01

    Headroom & structure

    Overhead equipment depends on what's above the opening — clear height, framing and mounting points are confirmed before anything is specified.

  • 02

    Opening type

    Overhead and vertical-lift gate and door openings at commercial, industrial and yard entrances where a horizontal path isn't available.

  • 03

    Controls & wiring

    Wall stations, remotes, readers and keypads are wired to the operator along with the conduit and power the equipment needs.

  • 04

    Safety devices

    Compatible photo-safety eye sensors and detection devices are installed as part of the automated opening.
