Why this brand

elero tubular drives are built in Germany and engineered around one idea: motion you never notice. Soft start and soft stop, a noiseless soft brake, whisper-quiet running modes, and intelligent obstacle detection come as standard across the RevoLine platform, and the bidirectional ProLine 2 radio system gives installers reliable two-way control.

For South African installers and OEMs that means one supplier for every shading drive: roller shutters, awnings, screens, ZIP systems and combined-use installations, from compact 38 mm shafts to 120 Nm heavy-duty units, with local supply and support through DNH.

Typical Applications

This product range is deployed across multiple sectors.

Roller shutters Window awnings & conservatory shading Vertical & ZIP screens Tiltable & venetian-function shutters Facade sun protection Residential & hospitality buildings
