Get your door tracks following the under side of the roof. That way you would still be able to open door with vehicle on hoist. Sometimes called a high lift door track. Just a thought.Attached is the lift I was looking at. Attached is my future garage build (48w x 28d). The overall car lift height is around 12' max. I was planning on placing the lift dead center underneath the glulam ridge beam. The ridge glulam beam is around 2' in height so that leaves me around 2' of clearance (16-2=14' 14-12=2') between the lift and the glulam beam.
With the roof slope and the other 2 glulam roof support beams, the height restriction drops to 12' but at that point it's still below the max of the lift so I don't see any issues with even a SUV or truck causing clearances issues with those lower beams. Only issue I can see is the garage door, when open, would interfere with a car on the lift. So I won't be able to open that bay door when there is a car in the air on the lift.
Any thoughts or input?

I have a 32ft deep garage and a 16ft landscape trailer that is about 22ft long. When the tongue is a couple of feet from the door, and a 3ft work bench along the opposite wall, there is not much space to walk behind the trailer. 28ft depth would be even tighter. Jon
