PGD PRO SC1500 Heavy Commercial Sectional Door Motor

The PGD PRO SC1500 is our most powerful overhead sectional door motor, designed for large residential doors, workshops, farm sheds and commercial applications where a standard garage door opener simply isn’t enough.

Featuring a powerful 1500N motor, heavy-duty chain drive system and a fully boxed aluminium rail, the SC1500 is built to handle large insulated sectional doors with ease while delivering smooth, reliable operation year after year.
