Gared Performance Sports Systems Electric Basketball Backboard Height Adjuster, Single Post (GPS-1171)
Product Details
The Gared 1171 Electric Height Adjuster is the premium automated solution for modern athletic facilities, allowing staff to transition a court from regulation play to youth heights at the touch of a button. Designed for single-post backstops, this unit eliminates the manual labor of hand-cranking, making it an ideal upgrade for high-traffic gymnasiums and community centers.
Product Features
- Effortless Electric Operation Adjusts the rim height from 10' down to 8' via a motorized drive, removing the need for manual cranking.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction Fabricated from high-tensile steel tubing and L-bracing to maintain rigidity at any height.
- Vibration-Damping Design All components are precision-engineered to eliminate "chatter" and ensure a quiet, professional playing environment.
- Institutional Powder Coat Finished in a resilient flat black powder coat that resists the wear and tear of a busy gymnasium.
- Youth Program Versatility Allows for rapid court turnover between adult leagues and youth clinics without physical strain on staff.
- Safety Overload Protection The electrical system is designed to handle the weight of the board and goal safely while protecting the motor from burnout.
- Maintenance-Free Bearings Designed with long-lasting components that require minimal upkeep beyond periodic lubrication of the slide tubes.
- Single Post Compatibility Specifically engineered to mount onto industry-standard single-post basketball masts (typically 6-5/8” diameter).
- Direct Goal Attachment Forces from dunks and play are transferred directly to the steel backstop structure, preventing backboard breakage.
- Precision Limit Switches Features factory-set limit switches that automatically stop the motor at the exact 8' and 10' positions to prevent mechanical overtravel.
- Spring-Activated Locking Includes a specialized locking mechanism that secures the drive rod, ensuring the board never "drifts" during intense play.
- High-Torque Motor Equipped with a powerful, UL-listed electric actuator designed for the heavy lifting required by institutional glass or steel boards.
- Visible Height Indicator A clearly marked scale on the slide channel allows operators to verify the exact rim height from the gymnasium floor.
- Direct-Drive Screw Rod Utilizes a heavy-duty threaded screw rod for smooth, quiet, and consistent vertical movement.
- Hardwired or Remote Ready Can be integrated into a facility's master control panel (Model 1158) or operated via a wireless remote (Model 1156/1198).
