Jackshaft Operators

Big Advantages

Jackshaft operators are wall-mounted beside the garage door. Moving the overhead motor from the ceiling to the wall frees up overhead space to highlift your garage door.

This clever and clean installation comes with a variety of bells-and-whistles and provides some big advantages. Only Liftmaster makes a jackshaft operator that we recommend for residential applications.
