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 Retrofit36 Endura includes a robust support structure constructed from 1/4” thick steel with a silver powder coat finish. This structure is designed to bolt onto the backside of most 36” tall backboards manufactured by First Team, Inc. It features vertical mounting slots for compatibility with most poles having a faceplate of at least 6”x6” (drilling may be necessary) and provides adequate rim support to prevent backboard breakage.

The kit's backboard is a 36”x 60” rectangular aluminum unit with a 10-gauge aluminum pan skin, a white powder coat finish, and an official orange shooters square. The standard rim is fabricated from fully welded 3/16” steel backplates and side plates, featuring double 5/8” diameter high strength steel welded in at least six places, all finished in orange powder coat. A net locking system allows for nylon or chain nets, with a nylon net included. The entire system weighs approximately 145#, and its support structure, backboard, and standard rim are covered by a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
