A light weight shutter motor is a compact, low-mass motor designed to automate lightweight roller shutters, such as those made of aluminum, PVC, or thin steel slats, commonly used in residential windows, small storefronts, or interior partitions. Weighing significantly less than heavy-duty motors, it simplifies installation—often mountable without additional structural support—and reduces strain on the shutter’s frame and tracks. Despite its small size, this motor delivers sufficient torque to operate lightweight shutters smoothly, with quiet operation that won’t disrupt residential or office environments. It is energy-efficient, consuming minimal power during operation, and compatible with battery power or low-voltage systems, making it ideal for retrofits or areas with limited electrical access. Features include remote control compatibility for easy operation, adjustable limit switches to set open/close positions, and overload protection to prevent damage from minor obstructions. Its compact design allows for discreet integration, preserving the aesthetic of the shutter and surrounding space. Our light weight shutter motors are easy to handle during installation and compatible with most small to medium-sized lightweight shutters. They come with simple programming instructions and are backed by a warranty for peace of mind.
