Talk to fencing company, a big security firm, or search google.com for "gate opener." I just tried that and turned up lots of hits, including retailers. Your application is more like a gate than a garage door.
You might try Chamerlain.

There Sentex division has gate operators. And the Chamaberlain industrial openers have a number of specialized versions that might work.
BTW, another option is to make this an sectional overhead door, but with trim and fake hardware to make it look like a swinging door.
