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

First Team introduces the Guardian tennis post system, a durable and versatile line designed to meet the needs of top-notch courts. The Guardian TNSO post is manufactured from 3.5" OD heavy duty, 1/4" thick high tensile aluminum, ensuring it stands up to high use courts and allows proper net tension without bowing.

The system features an exclusive internal worm gear net tensioner winch made from heavy duty stainless steel, known for its clean look and safety, as it will not backdrive. Each Guardian TNSO package includes a heavy-duty double top six net with a coated top cable, along with a flush mount center strap and anchor.

Guardian TNSO is specifically equipped with FT5001 exclusive hinged sockets and an FT50 Flush Mount Threaded Anchor. These components are particularly useful on multi-purpose courts, providing a smooth, flush surface when the tennis posts are removed.
