A high-lift garage door system is designed for garages where standard overhead door tracks take up valuable ceiling space. Instead of transitioning to the horizontal track shortly above the garage opening, a high-lift configuration extends the door’s vertical travel and positions the horizontal track higher toward the ceiling.

This configuration can create additional usable space beneath the open garage door, making it especially useful for homeowners planning vehicle lifts, overhead storage, workshops, high-ceiling garages, or other specialized garage applications.

Every high-lift installation needs to be planned around the specific garage. Ceiling height, door dimensions, available headroom, track configuration, spring system, cables, drums, opener placement, and potential obstructions all need to be evaluated before installation.

Available High-Lift Options May Include:

1. Custom High-Lift Track Systems
   Track geometry designed around the available vertical space.
2. Vehicle Lift Clearance
   Designed to provide additional overhead clearance for 2-post and 4-post vehicle lifts.
3. Overhead Storage Clearance
   Helps create more usable space for properly planned storage systems and equipment.
4. Wall-Mount Jackshaft Openers
   A wall-mounted opener can be considered when a traditional ceiling-mounted opener interferes with the new door path.
5. Custom Spring & Counterbalance Systems
   Spring specifications are evaluated according to the new high-lift configuration and door requirements.
6. High-Lift Drums & Cables
   Specialized drums and correctly sized cables can be used to support the altered travel path.
7. High-Ceiling Garage Configurations
   Ideal for garages with additional vertical space that would otherwise remain underutilized.
8. Custom Garage & Workshop Applications
   Configurations can be planned around vehicle storage, workshops, specialty equipment, and other garage requirements.
