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

Product Overview

In short

The GC55-LG is an in-ground adjustable basketball system built for driveway play, featuring a 36"x60" tempered glass backboard, a one-piece 12 ga. 5"x5" steel post, and a breakaway rim. It suits players of varying ages thanks to its 7.5'-10' adjustment range. The package includes the backboard, breakaway rim and net, post padding, pre-installed backboard padding, and bolt-down anchor hardware.

✓ Authorized Ironclad Sports Dealer — ships brand-new with the full lifetime warranty

The GC55-LG from Ironclad's GameChanger series is an in-ground basketball system designed to bring gymnasium-style play to home driveways. Its 5/16" thick tempered glass backboard measures 36" x 60" and is paired with a professional-quality breakaway rim for authentic rebounds and safe rim contact.

Support comes from a one-piece 12 ga. 5"x5" steel post, which the manufacturer notes is thicker than competing two-piece post designs. The all-steel actuator lets users adjust rim height from 7.5' to 10', and the bolt-down anchor system allows the unit to be leveled or relocated if the owner moves.

Safety and durability features include pre-installed backboard padding, post padding, black powder coat protection, and zinc-plated assembly bolts. It ships by LTL freight with curbside delivery; liftgate delivery can be added at checkout for an extra fee (see our Shipping Policy).

Frequently asked questions

How much clearance is needed behind the post if it's near a wall?

Ironclad recommends allowing 18" of distance from the back of the post to any wall or obstruction for ease of cranking.

Can the GC55-LG be relocated if I move?

Yes, the bolt-down anchor base lets the unit be disconnected from the concrete footing and reinstalled elsewhere using a new set of anchor bolts.

Is the 36"x60" backboard size right for my driveway?

A two-car driveway is best suited for a 54" or 60" wide backboard, making the GC55-LG's 60" backboard a good fit for that space.

Is JoySportStore an authorized Ironclad Sports dealer?

Yes. JoySportStore is an authorized Ironclad Sports dealer, so every system ships brand-new from the factory in Hutchinson, Kansas with the full Ironclad lifetime warranty and factory support.
