The Company Behind The Name

The name Liftmaster is actually the name of a line of products rather than the name of the actual company. Chamberlain are the main company who own the Liftmaster name.

The Hoist

Liftmaster Commercial Openers

There are five main categories of garage door opener that Liftmaster specialise in. Each different kind of opener has a few different varieties that will be used for more specific purposes. So let’s have a look at the five in question.

Jackshaft Operators

The Jackshaft openers are primarily designed for shutters and rolling grilles. There are quite a few models to choose from in the range, these depend on the size and weight of the door you will be lifting. The Jackshaft model is a very popular one that many businesses make use of.

Trolley Operators

The Trolley openers are a very simple design and are mainly used for standard lift sectional doors. Probably the most popular of the Liftmaster products, these come in light, medium or industrial strength depending upon what sort of door you are going to be opening. This opener is simply mounted on the ceiling and it drags the door back towards it, a very simple design similar to the one seen in residential garages.

Hoist Operators

Quite similar to the Jackshaft, the Hoist Models are again mainly designed to open shutters and rolling grilles. Designed for high doors these are very easy to operate and can be bought in either light, medium or industrial strength depending upon the weight of the door you are opening.

Slide Operators

Again a very simple design similar to the trolley. The Slide operator though is designed for heavy duty work. Often used on fire doors and single panel doors. There are only two models in this range and both are very heavy duty. As you would imagine these are a little more expensive but these are really designed with a specific purpose in mind.

Fire Door Release

Finally something a little bit different. Not an openers as such but a fire door release system. These are designed to automatically shut when a fire is detected in the building. These can protect property and save lives. There are many different settings you can use in conjunction with these systems, customise the release system to suit your buildings specific needs. These are very popular systems and can be invaluable tools in aiding fire prevention.

Liftmaster Prices

If you visit the Liftmaster website you can see all the products listed nicely. However they do not give you a simple price list. So how much do Liftmaster commercial garage door openers actually cost? Well as you can imagine it depends on which product you actually buy. Another factor is what kind of door you will be opening, it’s not a simple case of buying a pack like you would with a residential garage door opener, each commercial set up is different so chances are you will need specific parts. Some of the cheaper ones are not to expensive, while some of the more expensive openers are several thousand dollars. We did come across a list of replacement parts and prices for them, so from this you can get an idea of how much some of the openers are likely to cost.

For instance in 2008 a replacement ‘motor, break cover’ would cost $2344. A DC - Motor Control would set you back $1533. So this gives you an idea of how much some of the top end models do cost. However it is important to remember these are quality products and they are very reliable, so if you want good quality commercial garage door openers then you can’t go far wrong with Liftmaster.

Spare Parts

Even though Liftmaster are seen as a reliable company with good quality products, the fact is that parts do wear out. As well as that, sometimes parts can be damaged or broken if not treated properly. So you can order spare parts for your garage door openers. These are easy to locate as the company have a list on their website of parts available. If you check your owners manual you should be able to find the name of the part that is broken or lost. Then you simply find the part online and order a new one.

Overall Impression

So now we have had a look at a few of the Liftmaster products we can tell you that this is a very reliable company with a very good reputation. There are various reviews online that speak highly of these products and Liftmaster are no doubt one of the market leaders when it comes to commercial garage door openers. If you are looking for residential openers then Chamberlain have some excellent models available, prices average around $300 so you really can get a decent system for your garage door for a very reasonable price.
