🔧 Project Highlights:

  • ✅ Safety First: The existing motor had faulty limit switches, making the door a potential hazard. Replacing it was critical to ensure workplace safety.

  • 🔄 Total Upgrade: The team installed a Maxum Jackshaft Operator—a state-of-the-art, battery-backed system for seamless door operation.

  • 🦖 Out With the Old: The previous system was dubbed a “dinosaur” by the crew due to its outdated design and poor functionality.

  • 🔋 No Hoist Needed: With battery backup and a well-balanced door, there was no need for a manual hoist, simplifying the setup while ensuring reliability.

  • 🔩 Custom Fabrication: The installation required full-day custom fabrication to retrofit the new system perfectly to the 16′ x 14′ sectional door.

  • ⚙️ Bonus Discovery: While on-site, the team discovered a neglected bearing plate on an adjacent door, revealing the importance of ongoing maintenance.

  • 📆 Follow-Up Scheduled: Windy Hill Solutions will return in a few days to complete additional repairs for long-term functionality.

Whether it’s a routine repair or a full overhaul, Windy Hill Solutions is committed to making every door safer, smoother, and smarter.
