Gared Performance Sports Systems Electric Adjust-a-Goal Height Single Post for Fan-Shape Backboard (GPS-1173)
Product Details
The Gared 1173 Electric Adjust-a-Goal Height Adjuster is an automated, high-capacity system designed to bring versatility to gymnasiums with 6-5/8" diameter single-post backstops. By integrating a powerful 115-volt motor with specialized mounting hardware, this unit allows you to transition fan-shaped backboards from regulation 10-foot height down to 8 feet at the push of a button.
Product Features
- Complete Integrated Package Bundles the 1171 electric motor with the 1408 attachment kit (for 6-5/8" masts) and the 4405 kit (for fan-shaped boards).
- Versatile Control Options Can be operated via a hardwired key switch or a portable power wand (control hardware sold separately).
- Visual Height Indicator A clearly marked scale on the slide channel allows staff to verify the exact rim height from the floor.
- Industrial Steel Construction Built with high-tensile steel L-braces and thick-walled tubing for maximum rigidity at any extension.
- Vibration-Damping Engineering Precision-welded components eliminate "chatter" and ensure a quiet, professional-grade playing environment.
- Institutional Powder Coat Finished in a resilient flat black powder coat that resists chipping and scratching in high-traffic gymnasiums.
- 2-Year Limited Warranty Backed by Gared’s institutional guarantee, covering the actuator and structural integrity for two full years.
- High-Capacity Linear Actuator Powered by a 115-volt electric motor with a 660 lb lifting capacity, easily handling heavy institutional steel or glass fan boards.
- Precision Limit Switches Features factory-set internal limit switches that automatically stop the motor at exactly 8' and 10' to prevent mechanical damage.
- Fan-Shape Board Focus Specifically engineered for institutional fan-shaped backboards with standard 20" x 35" mounting centers.
- 6-5/8" Single Post Compatibility Designed to clamp securely onto the industry-standard large-diameter single mast used in most modern gyms.
- Direct Goal Attachment Transfers all dunking and playing stress directly to the steel backstop structure, protecting the backboard from impact breakage.
- Infinite Height Settings While it has auto-stops at 8' and 10', the board can be stopped at any increment in between for specific training needs.
- Automated Convenience Eliminates the physical labor and time required for manual hand-cranking, allowing for rapid court turnover.
- Spring-Activated Lock Includes a specialized locking mechanism that secures the drive rod, ensuring the board never "drifts" during intense games.
