What is liftgate?

Standard (curbside) freight delivery: the driver brings the pallet to your address but does not unload it, so you need a loading dock, a forklift or enough people to unload it.

Liftgate delivery: the truck's hydraulic liftgate lowers the pallet to the ground, the right choice for a home, school, park or any address without a dock. To add it, choose the shipping method "Premium Insured Freight + Liftgate (+$209)" at checkout. It is $209 per order and covers all freight items in the order. It does not include inside delivery or assembly. Shipping policy

✓ Authorized First Team Dealer — ships brand-new with full manufacturer warranty & support

The RuffNeck Extreme-EXT features a 4 ½" O.D. RS40 zinc flow coated steel pole with a 7 ga. wall thickness, designed for a 48" ground bury and a 60" setback from post to backboard. Two 1" round galvanized tubular braces support the top corners of the backboard and connect directly to the pole, and the rim mounts through the backboard into the horizontal extension to eliminate backboard stress during play.

The backboard is a 36"x60" rectangular steel unit with a 10 gauge steel pan skin, finished in white powdercoat with an official orange shooters square. The standard rim is fabricated from 3/16" backplates and sideplates, fully welded, with a double 5/8" diameter high strength steel design welded at a minimum of six places; it includes a continuous netlocking system for nylon or chain nets (nylon net included) and is fully powdercoated orange. Other rims, including outdoor breakaway rims, are available.

The pole, backboard, and standard rim are backed by a 20-Year Limited Warranty, and the entire system weighs approximately 290#.
