Your motorisation specialist based in Paris 11e

We study motorisation projects for shops, garages and business premises across Paris and Île-de-France, whether for an existing manual shutter or a motor that needs replacing.

The technical visit lets us check whether the curtain and shaft can be kept, assess the frequency of use and examine the power supply and control devices before pricing.

Motorisation is part of our metal shutter services, alongside installation, servicing and repair.

Shasama working on the shaft and mechanism of a metal shutter

Why motorise a metal shutter?

Make the shutter easier to open and close, even with a heavy curtain.

Reduce the effort involved in manual operation.

Save time during the shop or premises' daily opening routines.

Improve ease of use with a wall control, remote control or connected system.

Provide smoother, more regular metal shutter operation.

Which motor should you choose for a metal shutter?

The choice depends on the weight of the curtain, the existing shaft, the number of cycles and the space available, not just the price of the motor.

  • Tubular motor for a metal shutter

    Tubular motor

    Built into the roller shaft, it is out of sight once installed. It suits most shops with daily use.

  • Central motor for a metal shutter

    Central motor

    Positioned at the centre of the curtain, robust and reliable, it remains a proven choice for standard sizes.

  • Side motor for a metal shutter

    Side motor

    Installed at the side, it handles the heaviest curtains and large widths for warehouses, car parks and industrial premises.

  • Control box and remote controls for metal shutter motorisation

    Remote control

    Open and close your shutter remotely with a handheld remote, for simple, fast operation with no direct contact with the control box.
