Genie 112631 Hoist Operator Head 1/2 Hp with Brake

Product Description

The GENIE 112631 is a single-phase, 1/2 HP hoist operator head designed for commercial and industrial garage door applications. Built to handle sectional doors up to 24 feet in height, this unit includes an integrated brake for controlled stopping and holding of the door at rest. The powder-coated black steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments. It is installed by licensed electricians or experienced door system technicians as part of a complete hoist-style door operator system. The 112631 is suited for facilities where standard-duty performance and reliable stopping power are daily requirements.

This operator head is intended for use with high-lift and vertical-lift sectional door configurations where a hoist-type drive is required rather than a conventional jackshaft or trolley operator. Typical installations include warehouses, loading docks, service bays, and light industrial facilities. The unit supports sectional doors up to 24 feet in height, making it appropriate for applications requiring overhead clearance beyond the range of residential-grade equipment. An electrician connects the single-phase power supply, while the door installer handles mechanical mounting and drive-chain integration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door systems technician and a licensed electrician working in coordination. Disconnect and lock out all power to the operator circuit before handling wiring or mounting hardware. Ensure the mounting structure meets the load requirements for the operator head weight of 94 pounds. Local electrical codes and ANSI/DASMA door operator standards should be consulted before commissioning the unit.
