The Thunder Arena is designed for easy transport, featuring large 6" diameter rear wheels and 5" diameter front caster wheels that allow a single person to move the unit efficiently across the court. Safety is also a priority, with included base padding and the option for bolt-on TuffGuard backboard padding, ensuring player protection during intense action.
