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

The First Team RetroFit36 III Backboard Refurbishing Kit, also referred to as Retrofit36 Endura, features a robust 1/4” thick steel support structure (FT36RF) that is powder coated silver. This structure is specifically designed to bolt into the backside of most 36” tall backboards manufactured by First Team, Inc. It also provides vertical mounting slots for attachment to most poles with a faceplate at least 6”x6”, potentially requiring drilling, and incorporates adequate rim support to prevent backboard breakage from players hanging on the rim.

The kit includes a 36”x 60” rectangular aluminum backboard, featuring a 10-gauge aluminum pan skin. The backboard is finished with a white powder coat and marked with an official orange shooters square. The standard rim provided is fabricated from 3/16” backplates and side plates, fully welded, and constructed from double 5/8” diameter high strength steel welded at a minimum of six places. The rim is powder coated orange and includes a net locking system that accommodates both nylon and chain nets, with a nylon net being included. Other rim options, such as outdoor breakaway rims, are available. The complete system has an approximate weight of 145# and carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty for the support structure, backboard, and standard rim.
