A system designed to increase the vertical clearance within a garage, enabling the garage door to travel higher up the wall than standard track systems. This modification alters the door’s operational path, maximizing usable space, especially in garages with elevated ceilings. For example, in a garage where a standard door might only rise a few feet, this system allows it to ascend almost to the ceiling, freeing up significant headroom and storage capacity.
The value of this approach lies in its efficient utilization of garage space, providing room for car lifts, storage racks, or taller vehicles. Historically, garages were primarily designed for vehicle storage with minimal consideration for vertical space. As home sizes decreased and storage needs increased, solutions were needed to better use garage volume. This modification evolved as a practical solution to enhance the functionality of existing garage structures.
