Roller shutter door

[peterfarmer!]

I am looking at installing a 20ft wide 17ft high galvanised roller shutter door and was wanting to know is a single phase or 3 phase motor best

I’d a 20ft wide 25ft high single phase works no problem

We are in the market for two, one 5m x 5m and the other a bit smaller 4m x 4m (ish)

I priced it up a few years ago and the couple of suppliers I tried were happy with single phase motors but the big one would have a proper motor with a geared drive, the smaller one they all said a tube motor would be ok unless doing a lot of work.
In the NE Scotland here and quite keen on DIY fit if I can get the doors.
Any recomendations?? The carriage/haulage spoils the job a bit.

P and k shutters Bolton I’m up the north of Scotland and they were good too deal with and transport was easily sorted

Make sure it's not a Chinese motor/ gearbox.
Spend the extra and be done with it. We had one fail and cost over £1000 to fix. Buying the proper motor at the start would have been maybe £300 more, but we were not offered the option.

3 phase motors over 1 phase everytime simpler internally, no capacitors and generally last longer.

Agree completely, but some of us don't have a 3 phase option!
