Roll-Up Door Operators
Installing roll-up doors is a great way to add protection and convenience to doorways, countertops, windows, and other entry points in a commercial facility. These doors are made of horizontal metal slats that roll up vertically into a coil, maximizing overhead space.
Roll-up doors work differently than sectional doors. Unlike sectional doors, roll-up doors do not have a horizontal track system. Instead, roll-up doors have unique operator systems designed specifically for vertical lifting.
Roll-up doors can operate in several different ways. CornellCookson and Clopay® provide numerous types of roll-up door operators to suit any need.
Manual Roll-Up Door Operators
A manual roll-up door operator works without electricity. It is a cost-effective option that works well for lighter roll-up doors that are used infrequently. Our manual operator options include:
- Push-up operators: These operators require you to push up the door to open it. They're an affordable option for small spaces and infrequent use.
- Crank operators: These operators use a crank to open the door. You can use these for doors over countertop spaces.
- Chain operators: These operators use a chain to lift the door. They provide smooth operation and are ideal for larger doors.
- ControlGard™ chain hoists: These chain operators have a built-in braking system for enhanced safety.
- Clopay Safe-T-Stop™ chain hoists: These chain operators have an integral braking system that only allows the door to move when someone is actively pulling the chain.
Electric Roll-Up Door Operators
These door operators use electric-powered motors to lift your roll-up door, making them an easy, effective option for any facility. You'll find several electric operators to choose from, including:
- EverGard™ motors: These motors have self-charging battery backup systems so you can operate the door even when the power goes out.
- SG super-duty motors: These Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-listed motors are compact and deliver up to 20 cycles per day. A waterproof model is also available.
- MG industrial-duty motors: These motors have heavy-duty, lubricated gears, overload protection, and a maintenance-free braking system.
- Concealed tubular motors: These tubular motors require less clearance, making them ideal for spaces with strict dimensions.
Fire-Rated Roll-Up Door Operators
Fire-rated rolling doors need specialized motors to ensure they operate properly in an emergency. We have both manual and electric fire-rated operators available.
Manual fire-rated operators come in crank or chain configurations. You can also choose from several electric fire-rated options, including UL-listed AlarmGard® motors. What's more, CornellCookson FireGard™ motors are triggered when heat melts the fusible links.
