Smooth Traffic Flow. Maximum Security.

Parkades run on repeat cycles, tight clearances, and tenant expectations. When a door stutters, stalls, or fails, it creates congestion, security risk, and costly service calls. GDI operators are engineered to deliver consistent movement, quiet performance, and integration with modern access control systems, while providing fast cycle times with gentle acceleration and deceleration that helps your door last longer.

Why the JDMG is the parkade favorite

Many underground garages use low headroom track (double top tracks) where overhead space is limited. The GDI-JDMG trolley is ideal for these conditions, providing smooth door control while staying compatible with tight ceiling layouts.

  • Excellent for sectional doors on low headroom track systems
  • Up to 3,200 cycles per day with no problem in high-traffic garages
  • Fast open/close cycles to keep traffic moving
  • Gentle starts/stops that reduce door wear and noise
  • Battery backup (optional): keep access moving during power outages and prevent tenant lockouts
  • Designed for frequent open/close cycles all day
  • Great fit for property managers who want fewer interruptions
