Gared Performance Sports Systems Manual Basketball Backboard Height Adjuster, Single Post (GPS-1131)
Product Details
The Gared 1131 Manual Height Adjuster (Adjust-A-Goal Series) is a professional-grade accessory designed to make institutional basketball systems accessible to players of all ages. By allowing the rim height to be lowered from the regulation 10 feet down to 8 feet, it transforms standard courts into youth-friendly environments.
Product Features
- Adjustable Range (8' to 10') Allows the backboard and rim to be set at any height between the regulation 10' and a youth-friendly 8'.
- Standard Flat Black Finish Comes with a resilient, baked-on powder coat finish that resists chipping and scratching in gymnasium environments.
- Modular Design Compatible with both rectangular (36" x 63") and fan-shaped (20" x 35") backboard mounting centers when paired with the correct kit.
- Manual Winch Interface The slide-lock casting on the bottom of the unit provides a secure hook-point for the manual crank handle.
- Ease of Installation The telescopic frame design allows for straightforward assembly and precision leveling on existing masts.
- Maintenance-Friendly Engineered with accessible slide tubes that require simple periodic lubrication for lifetime performance.
- Electric Upgrade Ready The manual 1131 frame design is compatible with Gared's 1171 electric motor kits for future automation.
- Single Post Compatibility Specifically engineered for single-post basketball backstops (standard diameter 6-5/8”).
- Direct Goal Attachment Designed to transfer all dunking and playing stress directly to the backstop’s steel structure rather than the backboard.
- Spring-Activated Lock Features a unique manual locking mechanism that secures the threaded rod in place, preventing height "drifting" during play.
- Visual Height Indicator Includes a clearly visible label on the slide channel that allows users to accurately set heights in 3-inch increments.
- Hardened Stub Acme Thread Uses a high-strength, hardened 5/8" diameter screw rod for smooth operation and long-term durability.
- Removable Hand Crank Operated via a removable awning-type crank handle, allowing staff to control access to the adjustment mechanism.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction Built with 2" x 4" x 3/16" thick steel L-braces and 1-1/2" x 3" x 3/16" thick steel tubing for maximum rigidity.
- Vibration-Free Stability All components are fully welded to ensure the system remains stable and quiet during high-intensity games.
