Product Overview
The First Team Titan Excel is an in-ground adjustable basketball goal built with a 6” square steel vertical pole featuring a 3/16” wall thickness and a black powder coat finish, installed via an anchoring system. Its main extension arm is constructed of dual 2” x 4” (11 ga.) tubing, providing a minimum 48” extension from the post to the backboard face. The system includes a 42”x 72” rectangular 11-gauge steel pan backboard, which has a white powder coat finish and an official orange shooters square.
The goal's rim height is infinitely adjustable from 10’ down to 5 1/2’ using an 11,000# capacity crank cylinder located no higher than 4’ from ground level. This adjustment mechanism incorporates an optional locking device, a spring-loaded backup safety device, and an easy-to-read height adjustment label. The standard rim is fabricated from 3/16” backplates and side plates, made of double 5/8” diameter high strength steel, welded in at least six places, and features an orange powder coat finish with a continuous net locking system. A nylon net is included, and the design allows the rim to mount directly to the extension arm through the backboard to reduce stress.
The entire Titan Excel system weighs approximately 440#. The pole, backboard, and standard rim are backed by a Lifetime Superior Warranty.
