Gearbox

For those awnings that are high to reach, or for those that don’t like to bend to lift their awnings, a gearbox option is ideal and very easy to use.

Motorised

Ideal for large awnings and when you would like to operate more than one awning in one push of a button, set it to the time for opening and closing or connecting your awnings to a wind sensor then motorisation is the perfect choice for you.
