High Lift Conversion

Track modification that raises the open door for car lifts and tall vehicles.

What this service covers

Standard tracks turn horizontal right above the opening, eating the ceiling space a two-post lift needs. A high lift conversion extends the vertical track so the door parks higher and closer to the ceiling, freeing usable height without a new door.

  • Extended vertical track with high-lift drums and longer cables
  • Torsion shaft relocated and spring set recalculated
  • Jackshaft wall-mount opener to clear the ceiling entirely
  • Available clearance measured and confirmed before ordering

High Lift Conversion questions

How much extra clearance do I gain?
It depends on ceiling height, but gaining two to four feet of usable clearance is common.
Do I need a new opener?
Usually a jackshaft opener is required, since a ceiling rail would sit in the space you are trying to free up.
