The invention relates to the technical field of garage lifting doors, in particular to an electric garage door with a high-position overturning-type lifting mechanism. The electric garage door comprises an electric winch mounted on a garage ceiling, a mounting bracket for fixedly mounting the electric winch on the garage ceiling, a transverse guiding frame fixedly mounted on the garage ceiling, and a lifting door plate. According to the electric garage door with the high-position overturning-type lifting mechanism, the electric winch and the transverse guiding frame are mutually matched to drive the lifting door plate composed of an upper multi-connecting-plate set and a lower overturning plate to ascend, descend and overturn along a top guiding roller, overturning for storage can be conducted in the high position while the overall safety of the garage door is improved through the lower overturning plate, thus the overturning angle of the garage door is greatly decreased, and the spacein the low position is not affected in the overturning process, so that using is more convenient.
