Hörmann HR120 S Classic Industrial Roller Shutter – Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Ideal for Unheated Industrial Buildings
The HR120 S is a classic single-skinned roller shutter door for unheated buildings – this includes equipment halls, warehouses, storage buildings, agricultural buildings and any other unheated building. When a large robust roller shutter is required, the HR120 S is perfect. Due to the large concave profile, the shutter remains flexible yet rigid and corresponds with wind resistance even in larger shutters.
This heavy-duty steel door is specifically engineered for rough day-to-day operations where robustness is a key factor. The HR120 S represents Hörmann's commitment to delivering exceptional performance, reliability and longevity across demanding industrial and agricultural applications throughout the UK.
Heavy-Duty Steel Profile Construction
Strong, stable, potent and powerful. If a heavy duty steel shutter is required, the steel-frame HR120 S is ideal. With the HR120 S profile made of heavy-duty 1.0mm galvanized steel finish, your door can withstand higher loads and more intensive operational demands compared to aluminium alternatives.
Advanced Concave Profile Technology
Hörmann has decisively improved its rolling shutters with optimised profile geometry specifically engineered for large industrial openings. The concave interior and exterior surfaces of the HR120 S profiles ensure extremely good roll-up action whilst maintaining exceptional structural integrity across wider spans.
Optimally designed hinges reduce wear and enable a smooth connection between the curtain and barrel, without the usual pressure marks and premature component deterioration typical of inferior profile designs. This advanced engineering ensures reliable operation throughout thousands of cycles whilst minimising maintenance requirements.

Large Industrial Roller Shutters – Specialist Solutions
Samson Doors specialise in the installation of uniquely made large roller shutters to various buildings such as aircraft hangars, car ports, factories, storage facilities and large manufacturing buildings. The HR120 S is specifically engineered for these challenging applications where exceptional strength, reliability and durability are non-negotiable requirements.
Maximum Size Capability
The classic HR120 S roller shutter can be manufactured to impressive dimensions, with maximum sizes up to 11750mm width × 8000mm height. This exceptional size capability makes the HR120 S the ideal solution for large industrial openings including aircraft hangar doors, warehouse loading bays, agricultural buildings and manufacturing facilities requiring substantial access points.
Flexible Drive Options – Tailored to Your Requirements
Operator and controls included! Depending on the shutter size, we supply the HR120 S with direct drive operator, supplemented by the optional ZAK® gear system, or with chain drive operator. The ZAK gear system is available on request, providing enhanced operational efficiency and reliability for larger or more demanding installations.
Motor and Control Options
- Direct Drive Operator: Efficient motor-driven operation for medium to larger shutters with standard operational requirements
- ZAK® Gear System: Optional advanced gear technology for enhanced performance on larger or more demanding installations
- Chain Drive Operator: Cost-effective solution for specific size ranges offering reliable manual backup capability
- Manual Operation: Manual rolling shutters allow simple operation of doors – ideal for infrequently used openings

Innovative Hörmann Tension Spring Assembly
All Hörmann rolling shutters are equipped with innovative tension spring assembly technology. Thanks to this advanced system, the door opens and closes particularly easily whilst protecting the door and operator mechanism from excessive wear. The custom-dimensioned springs enable long service intervals, dramatically reducing maintenance costs and operational downtime.
For manual operation, the tension spring assembly compensates the weight of the door curtain, enabling easy opening and closing by hand. This inexpensive solution is ideal for doors that are rarely used. If operational frequency changes, an electric operator can be easily retrofitted without major structural modifications.
Tension Spring Assembly Benefits
- Reduces Mechanical Wear: Springs compensate curtain weight, protecting operator technology and extending component service life
- Easy Manual Operation: Hand operation remains simple even on larger doors thanks to weight compensation
- Long Service Intervals: Custom-dimensioned springs reduce maintenance requirements and associated costs
- Operator Protection: Reduced load on motor drive extends operational longevity and reliability
- Retrofit Capability: Easy upgrade from manual to electric operation without major modifications
- Standard on All Hörmann Shutters: Proven technology fitted as standard across entire Hörmann range
