Side Mounted Garage Door Motor

PGD BASE 35 Industrial Jackshaft Door Opener

The PGD BASE 35 is a side-mounted industrial garage door opener designed to eliminate the need for an overhead rail system.

Mounted directly onto the door pole shaft, this unit sits neatly on the side of the door, delivering a clean install, more usable ceiling space, and a simpler overall setup.

Built for reliability, it’s ideal for light commercial and heavy residential applications where strength, space, and performance matter.
