These were very common on residential garage doors (the house I grew up in had them on a double car garage). The hardware is jamb mounted and spring counterbalanced (my term, may not be correct). The door panel is usually a solid panel, but I don't see any reason why it could not be designed to be stile and rail. I specified this for some doors about 20 years ago.

Not sure what to call them, so finding manufacturers might be difficult. But what Peter called them seems right.

I've done a number of overhead doors and gates from local suppliers.
