Manual Operators:  We offer several models of hand cranks to open curtains in various lengths and locations.  All include smooth running wheel sets which include 4 PVC wheels, aluminum bushings and aluminum side plates.  All styles that use Crank Handles have internal brakes and can be adjusted on site so the drive loop can point our or down or 30° & 60° angles for easier accessibility.

All Operators are available in complete packages which includes operator, adapter, guidepipe hardware and 30" Crank Handle (on operators with gear loops) or Short Loop Handles where specified.

To order separately:

  1. Select your handcrank operator based on the LF of your Curtain. 

  2. Choose which adapter will fit your roll bar/pipe. 

  3. Decide on a Crank Handle and/or Drill Crank to allow you to fit the Curtain opening height.

  4. ADD GPHO (guidepipe hardware) for easier installation.  Order a guidepipe if needed.

If not sure what style best suits your needs, call us and we can advise you.

Electric Operators:  If you wish to automate your Roll-Ups, and if the bottom of your curtain is less than 18" from the ground, the Tube Motor style is best.  It's slender profile allows rolling down to about 6" from the ground.  (Be sure to disable them when snow is on the ground).  We offer 5 different powered models, 33NM, 40NM, 60NM, 80NM and 100NM.

On non locking systems and for those systems that are 18" or more from the ground, the Low Voltage Motor is a powerful and durable motor option.  Available in 40, 60, 88 and 148 one direction output models and 88NM for Two Direction output, we can cover a variety of needs and applications.

If you are unsure of what motor to use, contact us with the length, height, roll-bar OD, wall thickness of roll-bar and weight of your fabric (we know the weight of several fabrics), etc., we will help you determine which operator we recommend to do the job.

NOTE:  Curtain Wall Systems with 2 roll-bars require a lot more power.  Motorizing Curtain Walls is easy, but it might be best that you allow us to recommend the motor.  Because the drive bar or Curtain Wall System does not come near the ground, we normally do not use Tube Motors, unless we do not have a more compact motor of the needed power.  We can motorize Curtain Wall Systems up to 400' long with Gear Box Motors in the center of the system (200' of Roll-Bar on each side of the motor).
