“Martin’s DC-powered motors and belt drive lifting mechanisms offer
ultra-quiet options for picky homeowners.”
Martin garage door openers are designed for strong, quiet operation. Martin’s DC-powered motors are a powerful and quiet combination when pared with belt drive and chain drive (Model DC2722) lifting mechanisms.
Martin brand openers are manufactured by Marantec America, a German-based company with a narrowly focused garage door opener line. German engineered and American built, Martin openers are specifically designed for use with Martin garage doors, but can be used with any brand of door.
In American terms, Martin offers models with 1/2 HP to 1 HP in lifting power. However, the actual lifting force for DC powered motors is measured from 500 to 1000 Newtons, depending on the model. The DC3700HD is Martin’s strongest opener, with 1000 newtons of lifting force, which is generally comparable to 1 HP for AC motors.
DC power allows for soft start and stop operation, with the garage door slowing at the top and bottom of its closing cycle. This reduces operating noise as well as decreasing wear and tear on the garage door.
One unique feature of Martin openers is their Soft-Touch Reverse Technology™. This safety technology stops and reverses the door when closing, or stops the door when opening if the door encounters a soft touch interuption. Soft-Touch Reverse Technology™ is included with Martin openers when they are pared with a Martin garage door, and eliminates the need for photo eyes on doors up to 420 pounds.
