High lift<\/a> or vertical lift? The answer is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I receive numerous calls every week from customers who want to raise the lift of their garage doors<\/a>. Here are some considerations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may want a vertical lift<\/strong> system if your garage has at least the door’s height plus 18″ of room above your door’s original height AND\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a. You don’t mind changing to a shaft-mounted opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b. You want to lift high-profile vehicles to head height or greater using a floor jack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c. You have high shelves of items nearby in a garage or warehouse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

d. You want a high lift greater than 54″, and find cost savings on your kit over a commercial<\/strong> high lift (call us to price the kit and springs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

e. You simply want the track system completely out of the way in your garage area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best candidates for a regular high lift are those who \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a. Have shorter, often residential garage ceilings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b. Don’t mind having a shaft-mounted opener<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c. Need the track system<\/a> out of the way for lower car jack systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

d. Want to save money over a vertical lift system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

e. Dislike having serviceable parts very high in the garage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
