Vertical Lift, High Lift and Standard Lift: Choosing the Right Track | ABX Sectional Overhead Door

Three Track Systems, Three Jobs

Standard lift runs the door horizontally under the ceiling. High lift raises it above truck height first. Vertical lift travels the door fully upward along the facade.

How to Choose

  • Standard lift: enough lintel height, lowest cost
  • High lift: mixed vehicle heights at one opening
  • Vertical lift: tall facades, no ceiling space to spare

Watch the Headroom

Each system needs different headroom and side room. Measure before you order - retrofitting tracks costs more than choosing correctly.
