At GDI Operators, we believe that reliability is not just a feature — it’s a promise. Every opener we design is built to perform where others fail: in the harshest climates, in high‑cycle facilities, and in operations that simply cannot afford downtime. Our mission is to merge advanced engineering with real‑world durability, ensuring every motion is smooth, powerful, and consistent.
With decades of combined experience, our team has refined every component to perfection — from brushless direct‑drive motors that eliminate chains and belts, to smart control systems that adapt to the needs of each environment. Whether it’s the frigid cold of a storage facility or the constant moisture of a car wash, GDI operators are crafted to perform flawlessly, day after day.
We take pride in serving industries that never stop moving — agriculture, automotive, distribution, retail, and beyond. Our systems are not just machines; they are the heartbeat of doors that protect, secure, and enable the flow of commerce and productivity. When you choose GDI, you choose endurance, precision, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your operations are powered by excellence.

Engineered for precision and speed, rated for over one million cycles to meet demanding performance standards.
NEMA‑4 and IP‑rated protection shields critical components from water, dust, and extreme temperatures.
Advanced motion control with remote monitoring for modern automation and reliability.
Why Choose GDI
We thrive where all other openers fail. No chains, no belts, no compromises — just sealed, brushless direct-drive power with intelligent control.
Sealed against water, dust, and corrosion. From car wash bays to livestock facilities — GDI keeps running when conditions get ugly.
No wearing parts. No belt or brush maintenance. Cool, quiet torque and a dramatically longer service life.
| Brushless (GDI) | Brushed (most commonly used) |
| ✔ Electronic commutation | ✖ Mechanical brushes/commutator |
| ✔ Very low maintenance | ✖ Frequent brush replacement |
| ✔ Up to ~85–90%+ efficiency | ✖ Energy lost as heat + friction |
| ✔ Much longer lifespan | ✖ Shorter life due to brush wear |
| ✔ Cooler operation | ✖ Heat buildup internally |
| ✔ Precise & programmable control | ✖ Simple, limited accuracy |
| ✔ High torque across RPM range | ✖ Efficiency drops at high speeds |
| ✔ Quiet, smooth, no sparking | ✖ Noisy, sparking, EM chatter |
| ✔ Sealed for harsh environments | ✖ Brushes arc & corrode fast |
| ✔ Reliability, long-term savings | ✖ More maintenance, higher lifetime cost |
Fewer parts mean fewer failures. Designed for relentless daily duty and high-cycle operations.
Soft start/stop, Auto limit settings, overload protection, and seamless integration with modern access and safety systems.
At GDI Operators, reliability isn’t just a feature, it’s our foundation. Our systems combine strength, precision, and protection to meet the challenges of real-world applications. From fast-moving parkades to washdown zones and extreme climates, each feature reflects our focus on reliability, safety, and long-term value for every user.
Opens and closes rapidly with controlled acceleration and soft-stop to reduce tailgating risk and keep queues moving safely.
Precision gearing and robust motors handle heavy use, rated for over one million cycles in demanding environments.
Optional 36 V DC backup keeps doors operating during outages, 50–200 cycles per charge, then auto-recharges.
Hardened steel gears, high-torque shafts, and quality bearings deliver consistent power and long service life.
Noise-dampened drive and housing design minimize sound levels—ideal for residential, healthcare, and mixed-use buildings.
Fully sealed housings, marine-grade components, and watertight connectors for washdown and high-humidity areas.
Certified to operate down to −40 °C with cold-rated components and lubricants for dependable performance.
Non-corrosive materials and sealed enclosures stand up to aggressive cleaners and industrial chemicals.
Compact form factor fits tight headroom or side clearances while maintaining the torque needed for reliable operation.
Built for endurance, GDI Operators perform flawlessly where others fail — from sub-zero freezers to high-humidity washes, remote oilfields, and precision architectural builds.
Discreet motor housings, powder-coat finishes, and low-profile design for visually critical installations.
