The Tempest Triumph-FL Portable Basketball System features vertical uprights of heavy gauge 2”x 5” rectangular tubing, supported by 2”x 2” square tubular braces. Its main extension boom is heavy gauge 4”x 4” square tubing with ½” thick steel reinforcement, providing a 66” backboard-to-base extension with direct rim mounting. The all-steel base is primarily 3” x 1 ½” rectangular tubing, measuring 48” across the front (52” with side pads), and is designed to hold 24 solid cement blocks (720 lbs total) in its ballast box, supplemented by an additional 300 lbs of pre-welded steel ballast.

Portability is ensured by four large 8” non-marking wheels, with 8” diameter retractable, non-marking foot pads providing stability during play. The unit utilizes a "Spring-Assist" system with seven 3 ½” painted coil springs for easy one-person setup and height adjustment. Rim height is adjustable in six-inch increments from 10 feet down to 6 feet via a removable adjustment pin. The entire unit is equipped with 2” thick foam padding (main) and 1 ½” thick foam (side/ballast box) covered with a 14 oz reinforced vinyl laminate, all secured by 2” velcro straps and finished with a white powdercoat.

The system includes an FT235 backboard, constructed from 1/2” thick tempered glass with bright white fire impregnated ceramic screening and a clear anodized aluminum “F” type extrusion framework, measuring approximately 72” wide and 42” high. The FT196 rim is a flexible "FULL-TILT" design with an official 5/8” diameter ring and 18” I.D. opening, finished in orange powder coat and accompanied by a heavy-duty nylon net. Designed for "dunking" action without compromising structural integrity, the complete system weighs approximately 2000 lbs and carries a Lifetime Superior Warranty.
