Oilfield Overhead Doors & Remote Operations

Oilfield Overhead Doors & Remote Operations

When your Overhead Door operator is 6 hours from the nearest shop — and 30 below freezing — failure isn’t an option. That’s why field crews and energy sites trust GDI.

Engineered for Isolation. Proven in the Cold.

Oilfield and remote sites are some of the harshest environments on earth. Equipment here must withstand freezing winds, corrosive mud, heavy vibration, and abrasive dust — all while being hours from service support. Every breakdown risks lost production, stranded crews, and dangerous downtime.

GDI operators are designed from the ground up for survival in these conditions. Our 36V brushless direct-drive motors eliminate chains, belts, and sprockets that can rust or seize. Fully sealed enclosures protect sensitive electronics from snow, grit, and chemicals. And a modular swap-out design means components can be replaced quickly in the field — no special tools or technicians required.

From pumping stations and remote refueling depots to heavy oil sands facilities, GDI operators keep moving when others fail. They are not just built for performance — they are built for survival.
