LiftMaster 98022 Elite Series DC Wall-Mount Garage Door Opener
```
The LiftMaster 98022 Elite Series is a premium residential wall-mount garage door opener designed to free overhead space while providing quiet, smooth, and reliable operation.
Instead of using a traditional ceiling-mounted rail, the 98022 installs beside the garage door on the torsion shaft. This compact design helps create a cleaner garage layout while preserving ceiling space for storage, lighting, vehicle lifts, and other equipment.

Wall-Mount Design Maximizes Garage Space
The LiftMaster 98022 mounts directly beside the garage door instead of hanging from the ceiling. Its rail-free design provides additional overhead clearance for storage racks, bicycle systems, lighting, shelving, vehicle lifts, and other garage equipment.
This design is also well suited for garages with high ceilings, cathedral ceilings, limited overhead mounting space, or layouts where a traditional trolley opener is not preferred.
Quiet, Smooth Operation
The DC motor and side-mounted design help reduce vibration transfer through the garage ceiling. This makes the 98022 a practical option for attached garages, workshops, and homes with bedrooms or living areas above or beside the garage.
Soft Start and Soft Stop technology helps provide smoother door travel while reducing strain on the opener and garage door components.
Safety and Security

Sends a new rolling access code each time a compatible remote control is used.

The Protector System
Automatically reverses the garage door when the safety sensors detect an obstruction.
Automatic Door Lock
Secures the garage door each time it closes to help prevent forced opening.
Timer-to-Close
Automatically closes the garage door after a selected period when properly enabled.
Motion-Activated Lighting
Turns on compatible garage lighting when movement is detected.
Battery Backup
Supports garage access during power outages and helps meet applicable battery-backup requirements.
