I've been looking around, and it looks like a 28' x 5 1/4" wide LVL or PSL beam might only be ~$300.

Depending upon your budget, it might be worth looking into.

Maybe so, best price on a steel beam so far is around $360 each.

Damn you guys, you got me so jealous of that LM 3800, I decided to get "one" myself.

Well, not exactly. I hate throwing out good parts, so I modified my old chain drive opener to mimic your $300 opener

28 tooth sprocket @ $7.95 and couple hours of work. Works like a dream

 

[driller]

OK, but is it supercharged? LOL

It could very well be ... just need a smaller sprocket .
I opted out for the 28tooth which gives me the exact opening speed as before.

Kudos on the creativity.

LOOOL! Leave it to Jeremi! I wouldn't have even known how to figure out the tooth count had I tried that route.

It's easy math. The small sprocket turns 24.5 times per cycle with 8 teeth, the door shaft spins 7 times per cycle and needs 28 teeth to make the door travel the same distance and speed.

Jeremi, you once again show your ingenuity. I have two Lift Masters that are now obsolete (no safety switches) and one is on borrowed time due to board problems. That Mod would be just the ticket. Nice job!!

I'm lost. Haha! Thanks, makes sense in stupid people that don't know math words.
