OVERHEAD CLEARANCE PLANNER
Place your vehicle, lift and overhead obstructions in one scaled front or side view.
Drag to position. Select an item to edit its dimensions.
Planning reference only. Vehicle drawings are illustrative and may differ from your vehicle. Confirm actual dimensions, lift requirements and all clearances before purchasing.
A FEW MEASUREMENTS. A CLEARER PLAN.
Use the letter keys below, then enter your measurements in the planner.
A · Garage widthInside wall to inside wall.
B · Garage lengthInside of the closed door to the back wall.
C · Ceiling heightFloor to the ceiling at the planned lift position.
D · Obstruction bottomFloor to the underside of the beam, opener, track or light.
E · Obstruction positionInside of the garage door to the nearest edge of the obstruction. Also measure its width, length and height.
F · Lifting-point heightFor a two-post lift, measure from the floor to the approved lifting point with the vehicle resting on its tires.
Measure bumper-to-bumper length, overall width and floor-to-roof height, including accessories. Preset outlines provide a starting shape; they do not reproduce your exact vehicle. Look up factory specifications on Edmunds ↗, then confirm your own measurements.
On a four-post lift, the vehicle’s tires sit at runway-top height. On a two-post lift, vehicle rise equals pad height minus its lifting-point height at rest. The controls use published model height limits; actual lock positions and the supplied configuration still need confirmation.
Turn on Clearances to see wall and ceiling gaps for the selected item. Choose Tape measure, then tap two points in the drawing. You can change units without changing the plan. Check the garage door both open and closed, including its full travel path.
