[QUOTE="gone, post: 246741, member: 5899"] I've also got an 11' ceiling and the [U]traditional overhead garage door openers (installed on the ceiling)[/U] wouldn't work for my vehicles: the height required depends on what's parked on and below the lift. Yours may allow the traditional ceiling mounted motors, if parking 2 vehicles that are both very low to the ground, using less height. But because of the combined height of my particular 2 vehicles for the lift, I went with the Liftmaster 8500 [U]side mounted motors[/U] and so far they've worked AOK. I did have one issue with the Liftmaster 8500's since I installed one for each overhead door and when the 2 wall controls (which allowed me to open/close each overhead door) were placed side-by-each, the overhead ceiling lights which were activated by motion detectors in the controls, wouldn't turn on those ceiling lights. So I'd walk into the garage from the house and in front of the 2 wall controls and no garage lights would turn on. Following at least 6 return visits to my garage and trying different things, they finally determined the signal from each wall control, was cancelling the other signal out. After programming only one wall switch to work, that solved the light activation problem. Good luck to you [USER=4459]Vanguard2001[/USER] (and of course [USER=2217]Rruuff Day[/USER] as well).
