Light Commercial Roller Door Operator
LR-Drive
The Grifco LR-Drive heralds the latest addition to the Grifco Light Commercial portfolio. It has been specifically designed for large and wind-locked roller doors. It is also ideal for shopfront roller grilles thanks to commercial terminals that allow dedicated open and closing.
- Faster: LR-Drive opens a 2.4m high door in only 21 seconds. Fastest in its class!
- Stronger: The powerful motor and gearbox can lift roller doors up to 28m²
- Thinner: The incredibly thin operator requires only 45mm of sideroom clearance
- Smarter: LR-Drive is myQ compatible and features dedicated inputs for open / close
With myQ technology, you can see if your door is open or closed from anywhere in the world as well as control it*. You can also schedule to operate your door at certain times of the day and receive notifications when you desire.
* myQ requires Monitored Entrapment Protection (eg safety beams) to operate
