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 Tyrant III Basketball System's vertical pole is constructed of 6 5/8” O.D. Schedule 40 galvanized tubing, designed for a 48” bury into the ground. It features a 72” setback from the post to the backboard, with a telescoping attachment allowing for up to 78” extension. Two 1” round tubular braces support the top corners of the backboard and connect directly to the pole, which is engineered for the rim to mount directly through the backboard into the horizontal extension to eliminate backboard stress.

An H-Frame structure made of 1 ½” square x 11 gauge tubing is provided, standing 36” tall. This H-Frame includes mounting slots for industry standard 20”x35” mounting and features a faceplate no less than 3/16” thick, ensuring rim bolts pass through the backboard and into the H-Frame to prevent breakage. The backboard itself is 36”x 54” rectangular acrylic, 1/2” thick, framed with a 1/8” thick anodized aluminum framework. It also has a bright white 2” border and an official shooter's square screened on the backside to eliminate wear.

The standard rim is a flexible, institutional quality type designed to absorb player contact stress, with spring action provided by a heavy-duty compression wire spring. All structural components are built of no less than 3/16” steel, and the rim features an official 5/8” diameter high strength steel ring supported by a 3/16” brace covering 60% of the ring. It is punched to accommodate either a 3”x 4” or 5”x 5” hole pattern and has an orange powdercoated finish. The entire system has an approximate weight of 480#, and the pole, backboard, and standard rim are backed by a Lifetime Unconditional Warranty.
