How far does the Garage Gater lower from the ceiling?
1503394
My ceiling is about 10 feet above the floor and it will easily reach the bikes sitting on their kick stands.

We have a 12 foot ceiling in our garage and it can come all the way down and touch the floor with no bicycles on it.

I had a 14 foot ceiling in my gargage and it worked fine. The book says cable length is 165 inches

How about height when measured from the cross beam to the top of the rack? Need to ensure that I can get into the garage. Thanks.

Ooops! I was thinking 8 foot ceiling. Standard garage doors are 7 feet high. So, you'll need the extension for an 8 foot door. Sorry for my previous incorrect answer.

I haven't had any ceiling height issues at all -- not even a close issue whatsoever. Mine is stored in the garage, which is the standard 2-car garage attached to the house. I'm thoroughly enjoying this tool organizer. Hope this info helps you.

I put it as high as I could. I am away from my home but can tell you that it's about 18 to 24 from ceiling. Just enough room to get shovels on and off. This item is pretty good. The one thing you have to be careful with is attaching across and hitting studs at the ends. It is only 8ft when both pieces are abutted. With the placement of the holes, it gets a little tricky, but doable. The screws will just have to be angled in.

Yes, I installed mine out about 3-4 Feet. Check the studs In your garage ceiling to be sure. It Is Independent of the wall but the controls hang down and they do have A wall hook to keep them out of the way.

When mounted using the short mandatory extension, and the light kit, the bottom of the fan is approximately 18 inches from the ceiling. Add about another 6 inches for the chains hanging down. There is a slightly longer extension, but that would make it about another 3 to 6 inches below that as well.

The paperwork mine came with said "do not install on ceilings higher than 12 ft (3.7m)". I have it on my 14 ft garage ceiling and it has been working great for me.

My garage ceiling is only 9 ft, however there is excess rope. If you require a longer rope, it appears to me that replacing the shipped rope would be relatively easy.

We have a 9 foot ceiling. We hung the canoe so that it actually is below the garage door with one of the brackets installed about 6 inches in from where the garage door extends into the garage. The 2nd bracket was installed about 8 feet in from the 1st bracket. It works perfectly with the canoe hanging about 6 inches above the roof rack of our Ford Escape.

Some garage doors are taller than others. This opener is designed for a lower door. My doors are 8 feet and considered high. I purchased 2 of these for my 8 foot doors. They work beautifully but I do lose about 10 inches of overhead clearance when they are fully open. It's not a deal breaker for me because I'm not driving an SUV or some other taller vehicle. You can buy an extension to accommodate a taller door but for me these are perfectly fine. The bottom line is if you purchase this for an 8 foot door your door will only open about 90% unless you get the extension. My 8 foot door opens just over 7 feet.

I have 9' ceilings in my garage and the platform lowers to within 18" of the floor. You could add cable to extend the drop to accomodate the added height from the original point. However your highest lift point would be about 7'6" above the floor. I am sure any alterations would void any warranties to the product. On a side note: I have two now and will be ordering at least one more soon. As far as control rod, you will have to extend it to meet your needs. The directions suggest a 1/2 inch drill but I had a local machine shop turn the insert down to fit a 3/8 drill. I might advise you to not use a cordless drill. I personally would consider going a little lighter on the max weight. I have 9' ceilings in my garage and the platform lowers to within 18" of the floor.

I don't quite remember as I got it extended above my studio door - I think about 4 feet

It varies. You can choose how much you want to lower it when you install it. Anywhere between 0", 1", or 2". You decide.

I believe it is around 7 feet or 7.5 feet. Not for sure. We can store ours in our garage which has 10 foot ceilings when lowered. We lean the goal post over and roll into our garage and then stand it up. Great product and is reasonably priced! Hope this helps...
