Our approach ↗Unbound DesignThe Trackless
The Trackless
Advantage
Conventional overhead tracks and ceiling-mounted openers shape the entire space above your garage. Moenave takes a different approach.
Its pivot hardware connects compatible door panels into one rigid assembly. A wall-mounted operator moves the door as a single piece, leaving the ceiling free of conventional tracks and suspended motors.
- No conventional overhead ceiling tracks
- Wall-mounted drive and spring counterbalance
- Architectural glass, flush and woodgrain possibilities

Your Garage.
From automotive collections to a carefully designed home gym, a clear ceiling opens up new possibilities for the way your garage looks and works.
Planning a vehicle lift? We assess the door's complete swing envelope alongside lift placement, vehicle height, ceiling clearance and structural conditions. Removing overhead tracks does not remove the need to check every moving clearance.
Precision Starts With the Site.
Your opening, door weight, panel construction and operating clearances determine the right configuration. Valiant documents the measurements before recommending the system.

Technical Planning Requirements
These values reflect current Moenave published specifications. Valiant verifies every requirement against the actual opening before the system is configured.
| Parameter | Published requirement | Valiant field note |
|---|---|---|
| Door width | 8–18 ft | Single-opening configurations |
| Door height | 7–10 ft | Measured finished opening controls |
| Maximum total weight | 500 lb | Panels, struts, cladding, glass, and hardware all count |
| Added hardware weight | Approximately 70 lb on an 8-ft door | Included in spring sizing and the 500-lb limit |
| Headroom | 12 in above the opening | Required for the torsion assembly and upper arc |
| Floor to ceiling | 95 in minimum | Verified before design work begins |
| Finished opening width | Panel width + 2 in | 16-ft door panels require a 16-ft 2-in opening |
| Open-position obstruction | Approximately 6 in | Check clear drive-through height |
| Swing envelope | Approximately half outward / half inward | Driveway and interior clearances are project-specific |
| Opening shape | Square or rectangular | Arches require project-specific review |
| Panel face | Flat interior face | Interior-ribbed panels are incompatible |
| Panel construction | Triple-layer insulated sectional | Specific panel model must be verified |
| Panel thickness | Project-specific | No hard minimum is published here because current Moenave sources conflict |
| Operator | LiftMaster 98022 wall-mount jackshaft | Moenave states the 98032 has not been tested |
| Sealing | Side brush seals and bottom weather seal | Standard vinyl bottom seal is compatible |
| Framing | Per current manufacturer framing reference | Jamb, header, and spring support are verified for the project |
| High-wind certification | Not tested or certified for hurricane or high-wind code, including Miami-Dade | Panel wind performance must still meet local code |
Confirm the current manufacturer revision before framing or construction.

RGBW Light Where the Room Needs It
Moenave currently publishes an integrated RGBW LED system with a dedicated white channel. It connects to the LiftMaster 98022, turns on with door operation, shuts off automatically, mounts vertically or horizontally, uses standard 110-volt power, and is configured from a phone without a dedicated app.
Valiant coordinates the electrical, installs and commissions the lighting with the door, and walks the owner through the controls at handoff.

System components
Complete-project scope
Typical Installer-Supplied Components
Moenave manufactures and ships the pivot hardware. Valiant plans and locally supplies the remaining project components. Depending on the current kit and the measured opening, these may include:
- Compatible triple-layer insulated door panels
- Door struts for one-piece operation
- Torsion springs, shaft, and coupler sized to finished weight
- LiftMaster 98022 wall-mount operator
- Side brush seals and bottom weather seal
That is not a universal bill of materials. Final parts are confirmed against the current manual and the configured system.

Trackless Pivot Garage Door FAQ
What is a trackless pivot garage door?
Standard sectional panels are locked together into one rigid leaf that rotates outward and upward on wall-mounted pivot hardware, rather than folding and rolling along overhead ceiling track. There is no horizontal track and no ceiling-mounted motor. A wall-mounted jackshaft operator drives the door and torsion springs counterbalance its weight.
How much headroom does a trackless pivot garage door require?
12 inches above the opening, for the torsion spring assembly and the top-of-door arc, per current Moenave published specifications.
What ceiling height is required?
A minimum of 95 inches floor to ceiling, applying across all supported door heights from 7 to 10 feet.
What door sizes are supported?
8 to 18 feet wide and 7 to 10 feet tall, with a maximum total door weight of 500 pounds. The hardware adds approximately 70 pounds on an 8-foot door, counting toward that 500-pound maximum.
Can I reuse my existing garage door panels?
Usually not. The pivot system requires a finished opening approximately 2 inches wider than the panels, while conventional panels are sized to fill the opening. Most projects use new, correctly dimensioned panels.
What garage door panels are compatible?
Triple-layer insulated sectional panels with a flat interior face, including flush steel, composite overlay, aluminum glass, and most woodgrain plank styles. Panels with interior ribbing are not compatible, including the Wayne Dalton 9100 and 9605 series. Exact panel thickness compatibility is project-specific and is verified against current Moenave hardware and technical requirements before ordering.
Does the finished opening need to be wider than the door panels?
Yes, approximately 2 inches wider. A 16-foot door requires a 16-foot 2-inch finished opening.
Does a trackless pivot garage door swing outward?
Yes. Roughly half the door height travels outward and roughly half inward. An 8-foot door swings approximately 4 feet outside and 4 feet inside the opening, and occupies about 6 inches of the opening when fully open.
Can a trackless pivot door work with an arched garage opening?
Square and rectangular openings are the standard supported geometry. An arched opening can restrict travel and may prevent full operation, so it requires project-specific review.
What garage door opener does the trackless pivot system use?
A LiftMaster 98022 wall-mount jackshaft operator. Moenave states that it has not tested the 98032, which would require different mounting hardware not included with the system.
Can integrated RGBW lighting be added?
Moenave publishes an integrated RGBW LED system with a dedicated white channel that connects to the LiftMaster 98022, activates with door operation, shuts off automatically, mounts vertically or horizontally, runs on standard 110-volt power, and is configured from a phone without a dedicated app.
How long does a trackless pivot garage door take to order?
Hardware is built to order for the project's dimensions. Current production and shipping schedules vary. Valiant confirms manufacturer lead time when the project is configured and quoted.
How much does a complete installed trackless pivot garage door cost?
Pricing is quoted per project after measurement. Cost depends on the opening, panels, finish, glass or cladding, spring engineering, operator, lighting, framing, electrical work, delivery, and site conditions.
Is the trackless pivot system hurricane or Miami-Dade rated?
No. Moenave states the trackless pivot hardware system is not currently tested or certified for hurricane or high-wind building code requirements, including Miami-Dade approvals. Panel wind performance must still meet local code.
Does Valiant Garage Door install Moenave trackless pivot systems in Northern California?
Yes. Valiant Garage Door is listed in Moenave's installer network for Northern California and provides trackless pivot system planning and installation throughout the Tri-Valley and surrounding Bay Area, including ongoing service after installation.
