Water spray. Corrosive materials. From car washes to industrial sites, certain environments can play havoc with the mechanics that keep doors moving. Add in repeated use under these conditions, and soon wear and tear can bring everything to a halt. That is why the direct drive door was built. It is an overhead sectional door that replaces traditional springs with a stronger, hardier motor system. So it is always in its element, no matter the elements.
Standard spring-based systems are vulnerable to rust, dust, dirt and chemicals. So the Crawford OH1042DD has a high performing electrical direct drive system instead. That means you get the same speed and efficiency as springs, without any of the vulnerabilities.
