In the world of commercial door automation, too much choice can be a problem. With dozens of models, configurations, and heavy units to install, contractors often face confusion, complexity, and costly downtime.
That’s why Automatic Technology (AT) created Dave — a single operator designed to do it all.
Dave is more than a product; he’s a revolution in a box. Engineered for sheds, warehouses, storage facilities, and large-scale residential projects, Dave replaces the need for multiple models with one adaptable, globally compatible system.
Smart by Design
Dave comes with two swappable power cartridges — high and low voltage — meaning he’s ready to go anywhere in the world. He can lift up to 1000 kg with a heavy-lift kit and run a 60% duty cycle, giving installers serious performance without compromise.
Fast, Simple Installation
At under 12 kg, Dave is light enough for a solo install. Wireless-first wall consoles and PE beams make setup quick, tidy, and frustration-free. For added convenience, there’s even a purpose-built handle (sold separately) featuring built-in spirit levels, ruler, and straight edge — the kind of detail that makes every installer’s life easier.
Adaptable and Intelligent
Left- or right-handed installation? Wall or hood-mount? Dave doesn’t mind. He adapts effortlessly in under five minutes. Powered by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) technology — the same used in precision industrial robots — Dave delivers instant torque, smooth starts and stops, and learns as he goes. Machine learning helps him understand each door’s movement, ensuring reliable, precise operation every time.
Built for New Zealand Conditions
BRANZ-tested and backed by a 5-year warranty, Dave offers confidence in both strength and longevity. He’s designed to thrive where performance and reliability matter most — from commercial storage sites to heavy-duty industrial doors.
One model. All applications. No confusion.
With Dave, Automatic Technology has simplified the entire process — no more excessive stock, complex configurations, or two-person installations. Just attach the handle, swap the cartridge, pair the wireless accessories, and the job’s done.
