Genie 112630 Hoist Operator Head 1/2 Hp with Brake

Product Description

The GENIE 112630 is a medium-duty, single-phase garage door hoist operator head designed for commercial and light-industrial overhead door applications. Rated at 1/2 HP, this unit provides reliable lifting power for sectional doors and ships complete with an integrated brake for controlled stopping and load holding. The powder-coated black steel housing measures 24 inches tall by 15.25 inches wide by 12.75 inches long and weighs 69 pounds. Installation is typically handled by a licensed overhead door technician or qualified electrician working in coordination with door rigging hardware.

This hoist operator head is rated for use with sectional doors up to 16 feet high. It suits medium-duty commercial installations such as warehouse bays, loading docks, and multi-unit storage facilities where a single-phase power supply is available. The integrated brake engages when the motor is not running, holding the door in position and reducing rollback risk. It is appropriate for new installations as well as direct replacements in existing hoist-style operator setups where head unit dimensions and power requirements align.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed overhead door technician or qualified electrician familiar with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for motor branch circuits. Disconnect and lock out all power to the operator circuit before removing or installing the head unit. Confirm that the structural header and mounting hardware are rated to support the combined weight of the operator and door assembly. Do not energize the unit until all mechanical connections, limit adjustments, and safety reversal devices have been verified.
