Garage lift requirements

[Charley Lillard]

10' works. Go measure the height of each car. Corvettes are low so you might even get away with 9'. If you have the width in your garage they make a side by side lift that puts both cars in the air. I think the posts are 17' 6" apart side to side. May need to have garage door opener changed to either hug the ceiling or be a roll up that rolls up at the header panel.

We just did this about 18 months ago when my son won the Titan lift at MCACN in 2016. You will most likely need to install a wall mount jack shaft opener in addition to revising the overhead door tracks for additional lift (brings door closer to ceiling as noted by Charley) The verticals are new for the extended height, new horizontals, lift clearance drums, new cables (longer) and the spring changes. You are almost getting everything new except the overhead door sections themselves. Since the door is now closer to the ceiling you may have to move light fixtures or other things in the way as well.

We used this operator http://www.raynor.com/products/prodi...fm?tab=details

Total cost for the operator and door track/hardware modifications in Northern IL area was about $1,200.

A guy might be able to do this himself and save some bucks (the material was about half the cost) but we didn't want to mess with the springs or cables for the door revisions.
